Killamey White 
Lady Hillingdon 
Lord Charlemont 
KILLARNEY—(H. T.) (A. Dickson, 1898). Bright, 
sparkling pink of moderate fragrance. Beautiful 
in the bud and exquisite when cut on its long stems 
at that time. Opens to a full flower of good form 
that is short lasting. Usually considered a good 
though not strong growler and bloomer. Mildews 
in damp locations. Thrives best in dry sections. 
Included in the favorite dozen in all three years of 1922, ’23, 
and ’24 by the two Northeastern districts and in 1923 and ’24 
in the Gulf Coast district, in the referendum among members 
of American Rose Society. 
KILLARNEY WHITE—(H. T.) Pure white sport 
of Killarney, which see for description as just like 
it in every way except color. An old white favorite 
known to all rose lovers. 
Included in the favorite dozen in 1924 by the Gulf Coast 
district, in the referendum among members of American Rose 
Society. 
LADY HILLINGDON—(T.) (Lowe & Shawyer, 
1910.) (Papa Gontier crossed with Mme. Hoste). 
Deep apricot-yellow. Slender, lovely buds, open to 
a semi-full, cup-shaped flower of fine form. Sweet 
fragrance. A strong grower, very free-flowering 
and healthy. Best in half shade in hot locations, 
where color holds good, petals hold better and the 
stems are better and stronger. Fine for general 
garden decoration, although fades in the open sun 
in hot sections. A favorite for 24 years and al¬ 
ways ranks high in favorite dozens. Prune lightly. 
Although a Tea rose, it is very hardy for its class and does 
well generally wherever most of the Hybrid-Teas thrive. Many 
rose lovers who are not experts would do far better buying 
such tried and true varieties as this instead of the new, 
temperamental and untried varieties that the introducers 
naturally describe with such florid descriptions. In strong de¬ 
mand season after season. Included in the favorite dozen in 
1922 and 1924 of the Western and Pacific districts, in the 
referendum among members of American Rose Society. 
LADY MARGARET STEWART—(H. T.) (A. Dick¬ 
son, 1926). Buttercup yellow, flushed orange and 
red. Beautiful buds open to full, large, exhibition 
blooms of excellent form on good stems. Fragrance 
good. While praised by most as very fine, still many 
agree it is moderate in both growth and bloom. 
Generally regarded as healthy. (Note: Stock short. 
Please give second choice.) 
Greatly honored by being placed in Class Two of newer 
roses in 1933 American Rose Annual, “representing roses highly 
approved but which have definite shortcomings or have not been 
generally successful”. Signally honored by being included as 
fifth in the twelve Hybrid Teas “favorite roses” selected by 
“experts” in the 1929 American Rose Annual. 
LORD CHARLEMONT— (H. T.) (McGredy, 1922). 
Vivid crimson, sometimes with a scarlet glow and 
at times tinged a velvet black. Lovely, long-pointed 
buds open to full, rather flat flowers of good form. 
Fragrant. Holds color very good. (Note: Stock 
short. Give second choice.) 
Highly praised by many, while others claim it starts the 
season good, but needs careful protection from disease and too 
often is disappointing as the season advances in both growth 
and bloom.
