Ellison’s Roses Are Guaranteed True to J\[ame 
Red Radiance 
Radiance 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts 
PRISCILLA—(H. T.) (Montgomery Co., 1922.) (Un¬ 
named seedling crossed with Ophelia). Clear rose 
pink with darker shadings to the center. 
Bud very large and pointed. Blooms large, full and fragrant. 
Vigorous and upright. Long, stiff stems, excellent for cutting. 
Healthy. Free-flowering. Blooms last well. A pink rose of 
merit although apparently listed by few nurserymen. Does 
especially well in the South. 
RADIANCE—(H. T.) (J. Cook, 1908). Dark salmon- 
pink to silver-pink. Brilliant buds open to full 
flowers cupped in form. Fragrant. Long, stiff 
stems, excellent for cutting. 
Exceedingly free-flowering, and probably will produce more 
first-rate buds in the course of a season than any other va¬ 
riety under like conditions. Rainy weather sometimes prevents 
buds opening well. This rose is the standard by which all 
other Hybrid Tea roses are judged as to vigor, blooming habit, 
healthiness, hardiness, toughness and general desirability for 
everyone everywhere. 
Scores heavily in every favorite dozen by amateurs and ex¬ 
perts alike. The great Radiance family, including Radiance, 
Red Radiance (a sport), and Mrs. Charles Bell ( a shell-pink 
sport), far outsells any other three roses, or any dozen roses 
on the American market. Signally honored by being included 
as tenth in the twelve Hybrid Tea “favorite roses” selected by 
“experts” in the 1'929 American Rose Annual. Included in all 
three years of 1922, ’23 and ’24, in New England, Eastern, 
Central, Southern and Gulf Coast districts, in the referendum 
among members of American Rose Society. Classified in the 
1925 American Rose Annual as one of the “Big Four of Rose- 
dom” showing complete dominance, all classes considered, in 
the three-year referendum among members. 
RED RADIANCE—(H. T.) (Gude Bros., 1916). 
Solid medium to deep red, lighter in hot weather. 
A sport of Radiance and exactly like it in all other 
respects. Very popular. See Radiance for further 
description. 
Included in the favorite dozen in all three years of 1922, ’23 
and ’24 in Southern and Gulf Coast districts ; ’23 and ’24 in 
New England, Eastern and Western districts ; and 1924' in 
Central, in referendum among members of American Rose 
Society. 
REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS—(H. T.) (B. R. Cant & 
Sons, 1921). Two-tone flame color on the outside of 
the outer petals, yellow-cream inside, with center 
petals of apricot—fades in full bloom to deep 
yellow-cream, with orange reverse. 
Long buds of great charm, opening to full flowers of line 
form. Moderate fragrance. Low, spreading bush of moderate 
growth and bloom. Good for both garden decoration and for 
cutting purposes. Poor grower and bad to mildew in some 
sections and criticized sharply for so doing. Unquestionably 
one of the most beautiful of all roses. 
Always scores high in favorite dozens. 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 suc¬ 
cessful”. Signally honored by being included as second in the 
twelve Hybrid-Tea “favorite roses” selected by “experts” in the 
1929 American Rose Annual. Prune hard. 
SENSATION—(H. T.) (Joseph F. Hill & Co., 1924). 
Pointed buds of beep scarlet-crimson, opening to 
large flowers of dark crimson. Strong grower and 
free bloomer in favorable sections. 
Does best in the South, at its worst in Pacific Northwest 
where it grows and blooms well at first but soon mildews 
badly. Very fragrant. Long stems good for cutting. 
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”.
