HYBRID PERPETUALS, continued 
15 
Standard St * ndard - Dwarf. Name. Description. 
8d. Ulster ( A. Dickson & Sons, 1899), bright salmon, flowers of immense 
size splendidly formed with high pointed centre of great depth 
and substance ; useful to exhibitors only. Awarded Gold Medal 
National Rose Society. 
8d. Victor Hugo [Schwartz, 1884), brilliant crimson shaded with purple, 
very glowing colour, should be liberally treated. 
Hybrid Tea=Scented Roses. 
This class is largely on the increase, and furnishes some of the finest, most constant and best 
varieties for exhibition and garden decoration. They are very early and late flowering, most of them 
make good standards, and many kinds are specially valuable for massing. They are hardy in an 
ordinary season, but would require a little protection during a severe winter, much in the same way 
as Teas (see “Protecting,” page 5). 
PRUNING. —If grown for exhibition, or if large specimen blooms are required rather than a 
quantity of flowers, the plants should be cut hard back, and may be treated much in the same way as 
advised for the Hybrid Perpetuals (see page 9). If for garden decoration only, cut out bad and 
weak wood and shorten the longest shoots a little. Some varieties are useful only as garden and 
decorative Roses ; in such cases special treatment for pruning is given with description.

Admirai Ward ( Pernet Ditcher, 1915), a beautiful crimson red 
colour, shaded with fiery red and velvety purple, large full 
globular flowers. 
Aimee Cochet ( Soupert & Notting, 1902), flesh pink, with darker 
centre, flowers large and full. 
Alice Lemon ( Hill & Co., 1911), blush white shading to brilliant 
salmon pink in the centre ; very large, full, and well formed flowers, 
with high pointed centre. 
Antoine Rivoire (Pernet Ducher, 1895), rosy flesh, yellowish at the 
base; a full camellia-shaped flower. 
Augustine Guinoisseau ( Guinoisseau, 1889), white, very lightly 
tinted with pale rose ; only moderate pruning required. 
A. Hartmann (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1914), colour brilliant geranium 
red flushed with orange, sometimes bright cerise, flowers of large 
size and beautifully formed; nearly all blooms coming perfect, 
and being carried erect on stout stems makes it an ideal rose for 
exhibitors and for massing. The growth is strong and sturdy, 
with deep green leathery foliage, which does not readily mildew. 
The colour is very striking and the variety is perfectly distinct 
and hardy and perpetual flowering. It obtained the Silver Medal 
on many occasions as “ the best bloom in the Show,” and the 
National Rose Society Gold Medal at the Botanical Gardens, 1914 
(see illustration page 13). 
Autumn Tints ( B.R.Cant 6 Son, 1914), colour, coppery red shaded 
with orange and salmon, medium size flowers, produced in great 
profusion throughout the summer and autumn ; the growth 
is strong and branching and the foliage a rich bronzy green, not 
liable to mildew. An exceedingly attractive bedding and decora¬ 
tive variety of similar colouring to Madame Edouard Herriot 
(see illustration page 14).
