82 Roses 
HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia 
Climbing Rose, American Beauty 
SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Laurent Carle. Produces its large, deliciously scented, brilliant 
carmine flowers throughout the season, nearly as good in hot, dry 
weather as under more favorable weather conditions. A vigorous 
grower. 
Los Angeles. In color a luminous flame-pink, toned with coral and 
shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. The buds 
are long and pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth pro¬ 
portions. 
Margaret McGredy. The large, brilliantly colored, double flowers 
are an entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine- 
rose, lasting a long time; light spicy fragrance. The plant is of 
vigorous, bushy habit; very free flowering. 
M iss Rowena Thom. Enormous buds and blooms of fiery rose and 
mauve, shaded with old-gold at the center, borne on long, strong 
stems. A profuse, continuous bloomer and a very vigorous plant. 
Mme. Butterfly. Fine, light pink buds and flowers, tinted with gold 
near the base of the petals, of exquisite shape and richly perfumed. 
Plant is strong, throwing up big branching sprays of bloom. 
Mme. Caroline Testout. Flowers large, full, globular, satiny rose, 
with bright center; very free and fragrant. This Rose is grown 
more extensively than any other, and we are of the opinion that it 
is still one of the finest garden Roses in cultivation. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. Sparkling buds of coral-red and orange, 
opening to large, semi-double flowers of indescribably brilliant 
orange-red and salmon. Plant is moderately strong and very free 
flowering. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at times 
slightly tinted with blush on the reverse of the petals, we consider 
it one of the best white bedding Roses. It is quite double, and of 
fine form in bud as well as in the fully expanded flower. A strong 
grower and very free flowering. 
Mme. Leon Pain. Entirely distinct in color—a silvery salmon, with 
deeper orange-yellow shaded center, the reverse of petals salmony 
pink. Very free flowering. 
M rs. Aaron Ward. Deep Indian-yellow at the center of the flower, 
shading to primrose-yellow toward the edges of the petals, the whole 
occasionally washed soft salmon-pink as the flower expands. The 
color is somewhat variable with changing weather conditions but 
always beautiful. Hardy and floriferous. This is one of the best 
Roses in this color. 
SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued 
Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell. An attractive Rose of a distinct 
color that everyone likes—a delicate, soft, rosy salmon, suffused 
with a golden sheen. It is a free-flowering garden variety that 
should be in every collection. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. Generally conceded to be im¬ 
mensely superior for garden planting to Souvenir de Claudius 
Pernet and others of that type. The line long buds open into per¬ 
fectly shaped, open (lowers of rich lemon-yellow. Very vigorous 
and continuously in bloom. 
Mrs. Henry Morse. One of the best light pink varieties. Color two 
contrasting tones of pink, with an underlying yellow glow. Flowers 
large, full, very high pointed, fragrant. Very free flowering. 
Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller . Inside of petals soft pearly blush, 
shaded salmon; outside clear vermilion-rose, illumined with lighter 
shadings. The flower is unusually large and quite distinct in form, 
having the desirable build of the Hybrid Perpetual. 
Ophelia. Any description of the color of this Rose can only be a 
partial one, and gives but a faint idea of the superb beauty and 
richness of the shades—salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds of 
unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. 
Padre. Most attractive and novel in coloring, with long petals of a 
coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at the base. Growth strong 
and upright; exceedingly free flowering. A remarkably beautiful 
bedding Rose. 
Radiance. An American-bred Rose of so many excellent qualities 
that it may be considered the best bedding Rose in this color. 
Flowers large, perfect in form, and produced freely. The vigorous, 
branchy growth invariably terminates in one or more flowers of 
a bright carmine-salmon shade, mingled with rose, shading to a 
coppery yellow at the base of the petals. 
Red Radiance. A clear cerise-red sport of Radiance introduced in 
1916 and now recognized as a garden Rose of unusual merit. It 
has the same free-flowering qualities as its parent, being in bloom 
continuously during the season. The growth is even more robust 
and vigorous, carrying the large and well-formed flowers on heavy, 
erect stems. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. The large, full, well-formed flowers have a 
sweet, fruity scent and in color are a rich Marechal Niel yellow, 
occasionally veined with buff markings in the bud. Strong, vigor¬ 
ous grower. A Rose of great merit. 
Rose Marie. The ideal long buds open into large flowers of splendid 
form and substance, in color clear rose-pink with delicate lighter 
edge, and delightfully fragrant. A vigorous, healthy grower 
remarkable for its freedom of bloom. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. Very large, full flowers with 
elongated deep petals—a beautifully formed bloom. Color most 
striking sunflower-yellow, deeper in the center, without any color 
blending, and which is retained without fading even in the warmest 
weather. 
Souvenir de Georges Pernet. It is a strong, vigorous grower and 
produces a profusion of its large flowers, which are beautiful in both 
bud and fully developed bloom. They are a beautiful color—an 
intense Oriental red, shading to cochineal-carmine at the margin of 
the petals, the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. 
Talisman. The most astounding novelty in Roses produced in 
many a year. Its brilliant orange-red buds open to a large, fragrant 
high-pointed bloom of glowing golden yellow, stained with copper- 
red and orange-rose on the inside of the petal. It is the most 
magnificently colored flower we have ever seen and arouses aston¬ 
ishment and admiration everywhere. The plants have proved 
vigorous and healthy outdoors and have withstood severe winters 
unprotected. It is especially good in spring and late autumn. 
Vaterland. The most distinct dark-colored variety yet introduced. 
Rich deep velvety scarlet-maroon and a splendidly formed, high- 
centered flower of remarkable keeping qualities. 
Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring—a rich 
capucine-red, with coppery suffusion, overlaying a golden salmon 
ground, varying in intensity under different weather conditions, 
but always beautiful and particularly high-colored early in the 
season and in the autumn. The buds are long and pointed, opening 
to double, high-centered, very fragrant flowers. The foliage is 
strong, leather-like, and resistant to mildew. 
The Old-Fashioned China Rose 
Hermosa. Medium-sized, symmetrically double flowers of soft pink, 
borne in sprays on stout, healthy plants, always in bloom. $1 each; 
$10 per doz. 
Rosa Hugonis 
The light yellow flowers, 1)4 to 2 )4 inches across, borne profusely 
along the slender branches, make a striking display very early in the 
season. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms sym¬ 
metrical bushes about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, ^nd 
while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable subject 
when planted in connection with other shrubs or as single specimens 
in the garden. $1 each; $10 per doz.
