When disbudded for exhibition ■ pur¬ 
poses, the above is a large Rose and fairly 
full. It is of recent introduction, and 
has not found its way into many gardens 
as yet, though we think many people 
would be charmed with it for garden de¬ 
coration on accountrof its unusual colour. 
.4 large bloom which we examined might 
oe described as pale yellow, variously 
and heavily shaded with golden-apricot, 
and a tint which might be described as 
salmon. Another description makes .it 
golden-yellow, shaded with bronzy-red. 
In any case, it is an uncommon com¬ 
bination of colours, and very pleasant 
when big blooms are in their prime, but 
we think many more would be taken by 
the colour of the blooms as they grow 
naturally without disbudding for exhibi¬ 
tion. Small blooms in the half open state 
then come up to the description of golden- 
yellow, shaded with bronzy-red, though 
some might find other names for the var¬ 
ious shades of colour. The plant grows 
vigorously, and those who like Roses for 
garden decoration or for cut flower pur¬ 
poses, would find a very handsome one m 
this. We noted big blooms in the com¬ 
petitive exhibit for a large group of Roses 
of Messrs. Paul and Son, Cheshunt, and 
undisbudded blooms in a decorative class 
for Roses. The half open blooms kept 
well late in the afternoon, and we con¬ 
sider the colours charming.

H.T. Rose 
^ Mrs. i heed ore Roosevelt. 
The blooms of the above variety are 
always of large size, at least those on the 
main branches, and by disbudding it be¬ 
comes an excellent Rose for exhibition 
purposes. The colour is almost of uni- 
toim soft pink, and the outer petals are 
very broad, becoming rolled back when 
the bloom is in perfection. In this state 
it is excellent for exhibition purposes, but 
it is also a garden Rose, and may be 
used for filling beds or planting in mixed 
borders of Roses. The plant is of vigor¬ 
ous growth, and notable for its upright or 
I erect habit. This season seems to suit it 
1 well, for a number of excellent blooms 
were to be seen at the exhibition of the 
\ National Rose Society at Regent’s Park 
on the 3rd inst. The fine bloom wh:ch 
we had photographed was exhibited by 
Messrs. Ben. R. Cant and Sons; The Old 
Rose Gardens, Colchester. At the stage 
in which we took it the broad outer petals 
were creamy white. The blooms stood 
well all day, notwithstanding that the 
thermometer was something like 85 degs. 
in the shade.
