LOS ANGELES—(H. T.) (Howard & Smith, 1916.) 
(Madame Segone Weber crossed with Lyon Rose.) 
Luminous, rich flame-pink, toned with coral and 
shaded gold and yellow at base of petals. Buds 
long and open to large, full blooms of beauty and 
fragrance. Thrives gloriously in California, where 
it is a strong, healthy grower and free bloomer. It 
generally is hard to grow well in other sections. 
Many rose lovers consider it a hotbed of blackspot in their 
gardens and have consigned it to perdition. Requires utmost 
attention and care except in favored localities. Many rose 
lovers cannot resist trying this lovely rose in their own gardens 
and, where successful, it well repays for extra care. In constant 
demand season after season. Included in the favorite dozen in 
all three years of 1922, ’23 and ’24 by the two Northeastern, 
and Pacific districts, and in 1922 and ’24 in the Western 
district, in the referendum among members of the American 
Rose Society. 
Los Angeles 
LUXEMBOURG, GRANDE DUCHESSE DE—(H. 
T.) (Soupert & Notting, 1912.) (Mrs. J. W. Budde 
crossed with Lyon Rose). Deep orange shading to 
copper in the center. Beautiful, long-pointed buds 
on excellent stems, opening to very full flowers of 
fine form. Moderate fragrance. Strong, hardy 
grower with healthy foliage. Free-flowering. 
Fine for garden display or for cutting purposes, when its 
blooms are long lasting. A great favorite for 22 years and in 
strong demand season after season. 
MARGARET McGREDY—(H. T.) (McGredy, 1927). 
Brilliant brick-red or orange-scarlet. Large, 
pointed buds open to full blooms of good form and 
pleasing fragrance that fade but little. Very free- 
flowering. Makes a large, handsome bush of healthy 
foliage. Particularly outstanding for garden deco¬ 
ration and makes a good cut flower. Praised highly 
from New England to California with practically 
only complaints coming from Pacific Northwest and 
Ontario, Canada. 
Very highly honored by being placed in Class One, among 
nine newer Hybrid Tea roses in 1933 American Rose Annual, 
“representing varieties which have received widespread approval 
with no serious criticism”. 
MME. CAROLINE TESTOUT—(H. T.) (Pernet- 
Ducher, 1890.) (Lady Mary Fitzwilliam crossed with 
Mme. de Tartas). Clear, bright, satiny pink. Large, 
full, globular blooms of good form and delightful 
fragrance. Tall, vigorous, healthy and fairly free- 
flowering. One of the thorniest of all roses. Little 
value for cutting as stems are weak and flowers 
shatter quickly. Excellent in Pacific Northwest, 
where its faults largely disappear and where it is 
very popular. Extremely hardy for a Hybrid Tea 
rose, a desirable virtue in cold sections. Popular 
for 44 years. 
Included in the favorite dozen in all three years of 1922, 
’23 and ’24 by the Central and Southern districts in the referen¬ 
dum among members of American Rose Society.
