THE GARDENING WORLD 
September 17, 1904. 
The Hybrid Tea Rose. 
(i Concluded from p. 704.) 
Lady Moyra Beauclerc.—(A. Dickson and Sons, 1901): A 
Rose of good growth, making a fin© standard, Thoogh not a 
favourite colour, this variety has its good points, being easy to 
grow, of largei size and very lasting. Colour a peculiar shade 
of lake, with reflexed silvery rose petals and pointed centre. 
Very constant last season. (See Gardening World, p. 594.) 
Long worth Rambler.—(Liabaud, 1880): A climber which 
has proved very hardy here, and lights up an arch in autumn 
with its small seani-double crimson 'blossoms. 
Mine. Abel Chatenay.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1895): One of the 
most popular H. Ts. ; a splendid grower, and remarkably 
hardy. The petals' of this variety have a peculiar habit of re- 
flexing like a Cactus Dahlia. Colour a rich salmon-rose, 
reflexed outer petals of ai silvery-pink shade recalling those of 
La France. Blooms carried on long stalks, and sweet scented. 
Dr. Grill x II. P. Victor Verdier. 
Mine. Oadeiau-Raaney.—(J. PerneiGDucher, 1897): Another 
superb Rose of good constitution and exceedingly free flowering. 
A favourite with exhibitors, but not a strong grower. Flesh 
colour with yellow base; petals firm, standing rain well. 
Foliage dark green, leathery, and free from mildew. 
Mine. Eugene Boullot.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1897) : Though 
not soi good as either of the 1 two preceding varieties, this is a 
useful Rose of fair growth, but' none too' hardy here. Colour a. 
peculiar blending of light salmon and yellow. Flowers borne 
in good trusses on stiff stems, scentless. 
Mine. Edmee Metz.—(Souperti and Netting, 1901): A very 
fine new' Rose, mildew proof, and a, great success 'both as a 
dwarf and as a half standard. Flowers of good size ; colour 
salmon-pink and rose. A vigorous grower, and most floriferous. 
Mine. Jules Groleiz.—(Guillot, 1897) : A sturdy but not 
strong grower. Small flowers, silvery-pink, with reflexing 
petals, held on stiff erect stalks. Never requires disbudding 
to come good, and stands wet weather well. Foliage d rk 
green and leathery; wood set with bright red thorns. 
Mine. J. P. Soupemt,—(Soupert and Netting, 1901): Caro¬ 
line Testout x Mile. Alice Furon. This is an acquisition, and 
certainly one of the best varieties emanating from C. Testout. 
Except for its fragrance it' resembles this latter in several 
respects. Flowers borne on stiff stalks, pale lemon-white, with 
a tinge of yellow; freely produced, and very sweet. Good 
grower. 
Mine. Pernet-Ducher.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1891): A superb 
and most floriferous bedding Rose, only semi-double. Though 
not such a vigorous grower as G. Regis, it rather resembles it 
in flower and general appearance. The pointed buds are 
canary-yellow, expanded flowers creamy white. Very hardy 
and a capital grower. 
Mme. Ravary.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1899) : A richly-coloured 
orange hud opening into 1 a pale orange-yellow flower. One of 
the most exquisite decorative Roses in existence', succeeding 
both as a dwarf and also a,si a standard. Remarkably flori¬ 
ferous, perfectly hardy, and has already proved its worth in a 
friend’s garden north of the Tweed. A good but not strong 
grower, with fine dark-green; foliage free from mildew. 
Mme. Germaine Trochon.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1894): A 
seedling from Victor Verdier (H.P.) crossed with Levet’s tender 
but exquisite yellow Tea, Mme. E. Verdier. This is an excel¬ 
lent pillar Rose, growing 3ft, to 5ft, high, of good habit, flori¬ 
ferous and tolerably hardy. 
Mme. Jules Finger.—(Guillot, 1894): A variety which has 
never become veiy popular either for garden decoration or 
exhibition. It is a poor grower, and not of good constitution. 
Flowers globular, cream coloured, tinged with pink in centre, 
changing to pure white. Very easily spoilt by rain. 
Mme. Wagram, Countess© de Turenne.—(A. Bernaix, 1895) : 
. Of strong growth, floriferous. and hardy; perhaps a seedling 
from Grace Darling. This is a good all round Rose, and has 
been well exhibited of late. Flowers in large trusses., almost 
scentless; bright satin rose in bud, expanded flowers deep 
carnation-pink, edged with light rose. At times they rather 
resemble Captain. Christy. Fonus a 3ft to 4ft. bush. 
Marie Louise Poiret.—(Soupert and Notting, 1900): Light 
rose in colour, almost a® fragrant as La France, of beautiful 
form, and quite large enough for exhibition. Wood and 
growth resemble C. Testout in character. C. Testout x 
Marquise Litta. 
Marjorie.—(A. Dickson and Sons, 1895) : Of short but good 
growth, with thorny wood, soon forming a moderaibet-sized bush. 
Flowers globular, of beautiful form and medium size; colour 
white, suffused with rose and salmon-pink. A very hardy 
variety, nearly always in bloom, and much to he recommended 
for bedding. 
Marquise Litta.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1894): The full title of 
this variety is M. Litta de Breteuil. Quite one of the best 
autumnal varieties, and though not a vigorous grower, it can¬ 
not be omitted from any collection;. Flowers large, cupped, 
sweet scented, and borne on stiff stems. Colour rich carmine- 
rose, shaded with vermilion. Lasting, and standing rain well. 
Mildred Grant.—(A. Dickson and Sons, 1901): Flowers of 
enormous jsize on very stiff stems, blush white, edged with 
pink, very lasting. Undoubtedly a remarkably fine and flori¬ 
ferous variety, but. rather lacking in, vigour for garden decora¬ 
tion. Must have a. rich, soil to be seen at its best. 
Monsieur Paul Lede.—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1902): A new 
variety of considerable' promise, and strongly recommended me 
by Mr. G. Paul. Buds pointed, flowers very large, cup¬ 
shaped, sweet, scented. Colour 1 a. lovely shade of pink carmine 
with a. yellow base. Has flowered with me throughout the 
season, and is a grand garden variety. A good grower, and 
apparently not subject, to mildew. 
Monsieur Bunei—(J. Pernet-Ducher, 1899): A stiff, upright- 
growing variety, hardy, and reminding one very much vf 
Antoine Rivoirei, though not so good a grower. Flowers very 
double and Camellia-shaped ; in colour a peculiar blend of rose, 
peach, and yellow. 
Noellai Nabonnand.—(P. and C. Nabonnand, 1901): With¬ 
out question the finest deep crimson climbing Rose in cultiva¬ 
tion. A cross between Bardou Job and Reine Marie Henriefte, 
it retains part of the deep colour of the former and the growth 
of the latter. The long pointed buds when half expanded are 
exquisite, and open into fine .semi-double velvety crimson, 
flowers with wide petals. Altogether a first-rate climber, with 
an excellent habit of growth, and autumnal. 
Oberhofgartner T'erks.—(N. Welter, 1901): This, variety was 
sent me by Mr. Peter Lambert, and is one of the most pro¬ 
mising of the new H.Ts. on trial here. Growth moderate. As 
seen under glass', the flowers vary from deep flesh colour to a 
peculiar yellow ish carmine shade, and arei produced singly on 
stiff stalks. Belle Siehrecht x La France. 
Papai Lambert. (P. Lambert., 1899): A showy and 
deliciously-scented variety, fast becoming popular with ex¬ 
hibitors. White Lady x Marie Baumann. The mowth 
wood, and foliage closely resemble the former. Flowers very 
double, globular, with deep petals; colour a. rich pure rose. 
Fine under glass. 
Pharisaer. (W. Dinner, 1901) : A novelty of considerable 
merit; good upright growth and very floriferous. Buds lono- 
and pointed, opening into a good-sized, shapely flower, rosy 
■ white, with salmon-pink centre. Quite distinct. 
Prince de Bulgaria— (J. Pernet-Ducher 194 ) 3 ): A most 
attractive variety both in the open and under glass. Flowers 
on stiff stems, deliciously scented, cup-shaped, and of good 
size. Colour variable, silvery-rose on, opening, ch,an°-ing to 
salmon. At times the outer petals are of a. rich orange" the 
centre suffused with intense salmon-pink. I saw a bed "of this 
variety at Cheshunt last July, and thought, it most distinct and 
beautiful. 
Reine Marie Henrietta—(Levet, 1878): Sometimes called 
t ie led Gloire de Dijon, though; in itself it bears only a faint 
i esemblance to that variety. An excellent, well-proved climber, 
mid i ery free. Long- pointed bud, deep carmine-red flower, 
Haidy, and makes a fine standard. Mine. Berard x Gen. 
Jacqueminot.
