MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES 
101 
GENERAL LIST OF MICHELL’S 
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. 85c. each. 
Mrs. Pierre S. duPont. Medium sized, long pointed buds of a 
reddish-gold, opening to semi-double, cupped, very lasting fra¬ 
grant flowers of a deep golden-yellow. A strong, vigorous and 
compact grower, a profuse and continuous bloomer. $1.25 each; 
per doz., $12.00. 
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. 85c. each. 
NIGRETTE 
“The Black Rose of Sangerhausen” 
Plant Patent No. 87 
The cup shaped flowers are intensely deep maroon with 
blackish velvet sheen and are deliciously fragrant. It is the 
darkest of Roses, appearing almost black from a little distance 
and the petals do not burn in the sun; continuously in bloom 
(originator’s description). $2.00 each; per doz., $20.00. 
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. 
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. 85c. 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. 85c. each. 
SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Hybrid Tea Rose, Roslyn 
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. 85c. each. 
Rev. F. Page Roberts. Long-pointed, coppery-red buds opening 
into golden-yellow flowers, stained with red on the outside; fully 
double, very large and fragrant. A strong branching plant with 
good healthy foliage. 85c. each. 
Rose Marie. One of the best bedding roses. It produces beautiful 
long buds which open into large flowers of perfect form and of a 
pleasing clear rose-pink in color. 85c. each. 
Roslyn. Full golden-yellow flowers, deeper in the center with 
orange splashings on the reverse of the petals. Can be cut with 
long stems; fragrant. $1.00 each. 
Schwabenland. There are many pink Roses but none just like 
this new variety, either in color or in the splendid formation of 
its blooms. The flowers are large, over five inches in diameter, 
with a high spiral center, the petals having a peculiar twist or 
curl. In color it is a luminous, rich rose-pink, retaining its 
brightness, until the petals drop; the flowers are carried singly 
on long stiff stems. A strong, healthy, hardy, vigorous grower 
and free flowering. $1.00 each. 
Sensation. Splendid large crimson-scarlet, perfect in its long 
pointed bud as well as in the fully developed, sweetly scented, 
double flower. A strong vigorous grower. 85c. each.
