The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
Roses— Tea-scented and Noisette. 
This beautiful class is distinguished by the peculiar and delightful fragrance of the flowers, and the 
many charming tints and shades of yellow, rose and salmon colour, not to be found amongst the hybrid 
perpetuals. The individual blooms are of exquisite form, and invaluable for button-holes or bouquets. 
They are especially suited for pot culture in the conservatory, and planted outside on slightly raised 
beds in a sheltered position, and given a slight protection in Winter, they will furnish some beautiful 
flowers throughout the Summer and Autumn. The following list contains a very choice assortment.

Our own selection, in choice variety, plants mostly established in pots, per doz. I6s., 18s., and 21s. 
NEW POLYANTHA ROSE— TURNER’S CRIMSON RAMBLER. 
This remarkable Bose, sent out last season, was originally received from Japan. The plant is of very vigorous growth, making 
shoots from eight to ten feet in height during a season, and is consequently a most desirable climbing variety, and when 
pegged down or grown as a bush, a marvellous head of bloom is the result, the two year old wood producing trusses of flower on 
every growth. It is also exceedingly hardy, having successfully withstood the test in exposed situations of two very severe winters 
in England. 
The bright green glossy foliage with which the plant is covered very early in the Spring, forms a pleasing and striking contrast 
to the flowers which are produced in large trusses of pyramidal form, and of the brightest crimson colour, the blooms remaining on 
the plant for a great length of time, without falling or losing their brightness. The foliage is also retained to a great extent during 
the winter, making the plant almost an evergreen. 
Three Gold Medals, as well as numerous First Class Certificates, have been awarded to this Rose. 
Strong Plants, 2a. 6d., 3s. 6d. and 6s. each.
