MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES 
GENERAL LIST OF MICHELL’S SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Mme. Nicolas Aussel. In color a bright coppery-red, in the very 
long, shapely, tapering bud that develops into a large, fragrant, 
full double flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon-pink. 
Growth vigorous and healthy, free and continuous bloomer. 
Awarded a Gold Medal as the most beautiful Rose in France 
during a contest in 1931. $1.00 each. 
Margaret McGredy. Bud very large and long pointed; flower 
large, shapely, long lasting, very double, fragrant and brilliantly 
colored. A rich shade of Oriental-red passing as it ages to car- 
mine-rose; vigorous and free flowering. 75c. each. 
May Wettem. A magnificently formed bud and flower of moder¬ 
ate fullness and artistic coloring. The flowers are composed of 
immense, deep, wide petals of very solid texture, their formation 
making a beautifully built long bud and high pointed flower, 
in which the inner face of the petals evolves from a bright 
salmon-pink in the bud to deep flesh-pink, then to bright pink 
in the developed flower. 75c. each. 
Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. A beautiful rose with unique 
color combination, a blending of dark orange and apricot on a 
yellow ground with touches of bronze on the reverse of the 
petals. The flowers are sweet scented, large and of perfect 
form. 75c. each. 
Miss Rowena Thom. Large, long pointed buds developing into 
perfect flowers; color, a blending of fiery rose and rosy mauve, 
together with old gold. A vigorous upright grower and a 
profuse bloomer. See color plate opposite page 98. 75c. each. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. A very free blooming variety of vigorous 
but compact growth. The flowers, which are of splendid form, 
are full double and are equally attractive when in full bloom as 
in the bud state. The color is a distinct Indian yellow which 
under certain conditions becomes yellow tinted white. A favor¬ 
ite everywhere. 75c. each. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. One of the finest recent introduc¬ 
tions; very large pointed buds of a pleasing carmine-pink shaded 
with clear light yellow at the base of the petals, opening into a 
full double flower; very fragrant. 75c. each. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. The best yellow bedding Rose 
to date, long shapely buds of large size develop into full double 
flowers, deep lemon yellow in color and sweetly scented. A clean 
vigorous grower with disease-resisting foliage; very free flow¬ 
ering. 75c. each. 
Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties, always 
in flower and perfect in all stages of development; the color is a 
brilliant pink with salmon shadings. 75c. each. 
Mrs. Henry Morse. One of the best light pink varieties; high 
centered flowers of two contrasting tones of pink; very free 
flowering and fragrant. 75c. each. 
Mrs. J. D. Eisele. (U. S. Plant Patent No. 67.) The buds, 
the expanding flowers, as well as the fully developed blooms, 
of this Rose are absolutely perfect in every stage of de¬ 
velopment. This is due to the unfurling petals of the long 
pointed buds which are arranged in spiral form, reflexing 
as they unfold, giving the fully developed flower, which is 
from five to six inches in diameter, the most perfect Camellia¬ 
like formation. Aside from its beautiful shape it is a Rose of 
exceptional keeping qualities, the cut blooms lasting fully a 
week in good condition. In color it is a luscious shade of 
cherry-rose overlaid with a scarlet glow, this brilliancy 
being particularly intense under artificial light. We have in 
this Rose the most delightful fragrance, to such an extent 
that only a few flowers in a vase will serve to permeate the 
entire atmosphere of the room with their sweet fruity odor, 
resembling that of the noted old Tea Roses of fifty years ago. 
Growth strong, vigorous, erect, of branching habit, very 
free and a continuous bloomer. $1.50 each, $15.00 per dozen. 
Mrs. John Bell. A vivid brilliant shade of cochineal-carmine 
with large, long pointed bud and full double, cupped, moder¬ 
ately fragrant flower. Vigorous, free flowering habit. 75c. each. 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Pink Pearl 
Mrs. Sam. McGredy. The color of this beautiful variety is 
quite distinct from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual 
combination of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet coppery- 
orange is heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside of the 
petals and these colors together give a rich and dazzling effect. 
The flowers are of large size and beautiful form and they possess 
the proper fullness to make them useful for all purposes. They 
are freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant has a 
vigorous and exceptionally free habit; one of the best all¬ 
purpose Roses. $1.00 each. 
Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. Large, globular, peony-flow¬ 
ered blooms of pearly blush, shaded salmon-pink, the outside 
of the petals being vermilion and rose, which lovely combination 
is not affected by the hottest sun. Plants strong, of erect and 
vigorous growth, and with a blooming habit taking it clear 
through the season and until late Autumn. Should be in every 
selection for the garden. 75c. each. 
Olympiad. One of the most brilliant. Dark lustrous Oriental 
scarlet, accentuated by a bright golden base. Awarded Gold 
Medals at the great Atlantic City Pageant, September, 1931, 
at the International Show in New York and Sweepstakes 
prize at Philadelphia Show in March, 1932. $1.00 each. 
Pink Pearl. Brilliant cerise-pink, the base of the petals touched 
with gold, lighting up the flower wonderfully; the flowers are 
full double, of perfect form, very sweet scented and produced 
freely. 75c. each. 
President Hoover. A wonderful new rose with a splendid color 
combination, cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow. Long 
pointed buds, moderately fragrant, free flowering and a good 
grower. 75c. each. 
Radiance. A Rose of American origin and to our mind one of 
the very best varieties in cultivation today. It is an ideal bedder, 
producing large flowers throughout the Summer when many 
other varieties are out of bloom; in color a beautiful even shade 
of pink. This Rose should be in every garden. See color plate 
opposite page 98. 75c. each. 
Red Radiance. A counterpart of Radiance from which it is a 
“sport,” possessing all of the good points of that valuable vari¬ 
ety, but differing in color, which is bright cerise-red. 75c. each.
