LOCKE POTEET NURSERY 
Lady Margaret Stewart — A rose of unique and 
distinct color, the flowers in the young stage are a 
deep sunflower yellow heavily veined and splashed 
with orange-scarlet with the reverse of the petals 
deeply suffused with carmine as the flowers de¬ 
velop ; delightfully sweet scented; growth very 
vigorous and upright with beautiful, glossy, deep 
green, serrated foliage; 50 4 each. 
Li Bures —(It Dot 1028)—A lovely rose from 
Spain remarkable because of its kaleidoscopic color¬ 
ings, which include a great variety of tints; the 
bud is maroon-red, and as the flower opens, bright 
shades of pink, orange and yellow become visible, 
and when it is fully opened, the outer petals are 
usually bright pink and the center salmon-orange. 
In shape and color Li Bures is somewhat similar 
to President Hoover hut the red tints are deeper 
and much more prominent in the open flower; the 
longer we grow this rose the more we are impressed 
with it; distinctly fragrant; plant vigorous, up¬ 
right and bushy, with strong, holly-like, disease- 
resistant foliage; 504 each. 
Mari Dot —(P. Dot 1927)—Another fine rose 
from Spain. No one can pass by this rose without 
commenting on its beauty; buds are reddish salmon- 
yellow opening to double blooms of brillian salmon- 
pink overlaid with a faint coppery sheen; there is a 
luminous effect to the petalage that is usually 
found only in poppies and begonias: the plant grows 
very strongly and blooms through hot or cold 
weather: foliage is very glossy and holly-like; in 
Philadelphia, June 12, 1929, the Pennsylvania Hor¬ 
ticultural Society awarded the Robert C. Wright 
Rose Medal to Mari Dot; 50<^ each. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Ht. — (Howard & 
Smith 1926)—This is probaly the best all-round 
clear medium yellow garden rose; it has slender, 
shapely, golden yellow buds and large, symmetrical 
blooms of light canary-yellow, a trifle deeper in 
the center; the plants are erect and very vigorous, 
blooming freely through several marked flowering 
periods; 504 each. 
Mrs. G. A. Van Rossem Ht. —Red-orange; a spec¬ 
tacular rose which shows best in the half-open bud 
stage when it is of the deepest red-orange, almost 
brownish, with deeply impressed maroon veins; 
toward the end the color tones to old-rose; delici¬ 
ously perfumed; 504 each. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Ht. —Golden yellow; 
winner of more Gold Medals for outdoor blooms 
than any other rose ever grown; the bud is long- 
pointed, rich reddish gold, almost orange in the 
depths of the petals and holds its color well to the 
end; foliage is very ornamental, healthy and ex¬ 
tremely disease-resistant: this is the most continu¬ 
ous blooming yellow Hybrid Tea; the plants are 
low-growing and it does not seem possible that 
they could produce so many blooms, but keep the 
flowers cut and the plants will work every minute 
for you. We recommend Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont 
as the best all-round yellow garden rose; 50 4 each. 
Margaret McCredy—A new color in roses, a 
brilliant shade of Turkish red passing as the flower 
ages to beautiful shade of carmine-rose; very free 
flowering; stems strong; foliage leathery; 50 4 each. 
Nuntius Pacelli Ht. —White; cream-colored buds 
open to deliciously fragrant flowers of creamy 
white which soon turn pure white; it is fully 
double, but opens well at all times; the plants are 
of medium height and are unusually free in 
bloom; 50^ each. 
Olympiad—Crimson; the bud of this rose is 
coppery red, tinged with fire-red; it is one of the 
most beautiful roses of recent years; the blooms are 
large, fully double, pure crimson, with a golden 
base to the petals which lights up the entire 
flower; 50^ each. 
Soeur Therese or Sister Therese, Ht. — ( F. Gillot 
1931)—Yellow; the long-pointed buds are chrome- 
yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the open 
flower is rich daffodil-yellow and holds its color; 
sweet-briar fragrance; the blooms come freely on 
splendid cutting stems; 50<f' each. 
Yiridiflora —The only green rose extant, deep 
pea-green blooms, same in color as the foliage; 
price, 50 4 each. 
Lucie Marie Ht. — (1930)—Soft apricot-yellow 
lightly suffused with coppery red; a strong grow¬ 
ing plant; 504 each. 
Ville de Paris—Round buds of clear yellow and 
big globular blooms of the same shade, untouched 
by any other color; one of the outstanding yellow 
roses; in form very much like the popular Radi¬ 
ance; 50^ each. 
Wilhelm Kordes —-This German variety of bi¬ 
zarre and marvelously beautiful coloring is, in our 
opinion, one of the most interesting roses in our 
collection because of its extremely variable color¬ 
ing : eapucine red on a golden yellow ground, gradu¬ 
ally toning to golden yellow, splashed with red 
when expanding; large, full, double and high cen¬ 
tered, of noble form with ripe apple fragrance; 
vigorous, upright, branching growth with glossy, 
leathery disease-resistant foliage; 50 4 each. 
White Maman Coehet T. —A very beautiful rose 
that is often seen in old gardens; buds are extra 
long and perfectly formed: outer petals are heavily 
stained with dark rose shading through light pink 
to lemon-white at center: 50 4 each. 
City of Little Rock —Distinct and beautiful in 
color, a bright rosy-pink or rose shaded Hydrangea 
pink: the buds which open perfectly are long of 
ideal form: splendid grower and free bloomer; de¬ 
lightfully fragrant: 50 4 each. 
Marion Cran—An exceedingly bright combina¬ 
tion of colors, the buds being deep buttercup-yellow 
margined and flushed with cerise and rose-scarlet, 
tjie open flower being largely geranium-scarlet, 
with orange and yellow shadings; the plant is 
rather low and spreading; 50 4 each. 
Mary, Countess of Ilchester Ht.—A. Dickson & 
Sons 1909)—Crimson-carmine—a shade difficult 
to describe; of great size, with large, smooth, cir¬ 
cular petals, delicately scented: 504 each. 
Mrs. W. C. Egan—The color is a lovely shade of 
two-toned pink, shading through deep flesh to 
golden yellow at the base of the petals; the contour 
of its long, pointed buds and the splendid forma¬ 
tion of the open bloom with its glorious combina¬ 
tion of colors; its fragrance and robust free flow¬ 
ering habit, will insure for this splendid variety a 
well deserved and lasting popularity; 50 4 each. 
Norman Lambert Ht. —Copper-orange: large, 
well formed buds and unique, multicolored, semi- 
double blooms, predominantly copper-orange; splen¬ 
did bedding variety; 50 4 each. 
Padre —An extremely effective rose of rich 
copper-scarlet! the flowers are semi-double, borne 
on long straight stems on a very tall bush: while 
tending to hang its head when cut, the remarkable 
color and freedom of bloom make Padre an excep¬ 
tionally fine rose; 504 each.
