DUCHESS OF 
WELLINGTON 
EDEL 
( S. McGredy & Son, 1919) 
HT. The charming single flow¬ 
ers in large clusters are soft 
mauve-pink, with petals of kid¬ 
like texture, emphasized by a 
sparkling garnet-crimson center. 
A tall-growing plant.

HT. Handsome, long, saffron- 
yellow buds opening to very large, 
semi-double, pale creamy yellow 
flowers. Strong plants. 
HT. Huge, very double, snow- 
white flowers with many exqui¬ 
sitely curled petals. The tall 
plants are vigorous and exception¬ 
ally free-flowering, especially late 
in the season. 
MRS. LOVELL SWISHER 
(Howard & Smith, 1926) 
HT. Large, pointed buds and 
huge, gorgeous flowers of salmon-

bloomer. One of the largest Roses. 
IRISH ELEGANCE 
RAPTURE 
(Traendly & Schenck, 1926)

in growth and shape of bloom, but 
the color is deeper and more bril¬ 
liant. Considered, the best of the 
Ophelia race.

IRISH CHARM 
( S. McGredy & Son, 1927) 
HT. Medium-sized, double flowers of 
bright golden apricot passing to blush- 
pink. Fragrant and very lovely. 
DAME EDITH HELEN 
Illustrated below. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1926) 
HT. A superb Rose of the exhibition 
type, producing huge, shapely buds and 
very large, high-centered blooms of clear 
dazzling pink, composed of many con¬ 
centric petals full to the center and sweetly 
fragrant. Stems are erect and very stiff. 
Probably the handsomest and showiest 
fully double pink Rose for exhibition. 
Dame 
Edith 
CHARLES P. KILHAM 
( G. Beckwith & Son, 1926) 
HT. Huge, double 
of brilliant oriental red suf¬

ular flowers of clear, piercing

free-blooming plants with 
good foliage.

of orange-scarlet, tinged with 
bronze and apricot. A very 
decorative single-clustered 
flower. 
CALEDONIA

buds, opening to double, high-centered 
blooms of creamy texture. A superb, snowy 
white Rose when fully developed.
