Roses 
Isabella Sprunt. (T.) Lemon- 
yellow; buds like Safrano; fine bloomer; 
a very desirable variety; strong grower. 
Originated in eastern North Carolina. 
Letty Coles. (T.) Beautiful blush- 
colored flowers, sometimes tinged with 
pale yellow; medium to large size and 
fine form; a strong, vigorous grower; 
sweet Tea fragrance. 
Marechal Niel. (C. N.) Deep 
yellow; very large; full globular form; 
delightfully fragrant. The finest of all 
yellow climbing Roses. In the South 
it is at home and grows at its best. 
A strong, vigorous grower, producing 
freely its flowers at all seasons in great 
abundance. It should have the first 
place in every collection. 
Media. (T.) Yellow; large, full 
buds; deep yellow in center, lighter 
on the outer surfaces; free bloomer; 
strong grower. An excellent yellow 
Safrano Roses 
Frau Karl Druschki Roses (see page 45) 
Safrano. (T.) A delicate and beautiful tint 
of salmon, which is always bright and clear, and 
does not fade or shade off into dull and unde¬ 
sirable tints. One of the most exquisitely colored 
Roses, and exceedingly beautiful in the bud. In 
this latitude it makes a vigorous, strong bush, 
and bears an abundance of flowers at all seasons. 
One of the best Roses for the South. Should be 
cut before the flowers are expanded, in which 
stage the buds are exquisite. 
Solfaterre. (C. T.) Clear sulphur-yellow; 
large and double. Foliage and character of 
growth very similar to Marechal Niel. A splendid 
climber and profuse and constant bloomer; 
the flowers do not blight, wilt or fade in the hot 
midsummer sun, like many of the other fine 
varieties. With proper pruning, it makes a 
splendid bush Rose. See illustration at right of 
Rose heading, which shows it grown as a bush 
Rose. There is no more satisfactory variety 
either as a bush or climber.
