Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem. A marvelously beautiful 
Rose with a unique color combination—a most strik¬ 
ing blend of vivid orange and apricot on a golden 
yellow ground frequently with touches of bronze on 
the reverse of the petals. The sweet scented flowers 
are very large, of perfect formation both in the bud 
as well as in the fully developed flower, and are pro¬ 
duced very freely. 
Mine. Butterfly. Beautiful buds and flowers of light 
soft pink, tinted yellow at base of petals. Very free 
flowering and highly scented. 
Nuntius Pacelli. Snow-white. An excellent white bed¬ 
ding Rose. It is nearly a continuous performer, often 
blooming singly, but sometimes thr-ee or four on a 
spike. The bud is creamy, and when opened the 
center of the double bloom shows a creamy tint 
which later turns to pure white. Its petals are of great 
substance, unaffected by sun or rain, and the purity 
of the white is retained to the end. It is very fra¬ 
grant, a rare quality among white Roses. The plant 
is vigorous, of medium height, hardy, and the fo¬ 
liage ample and healthy. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. (The Daily Mail Rose). The 
buds are coral-red shaded with yellow at the base. 
The open flowers are of medium size, semi-double, 
a superb coral-red shaded with yellow and bright rosy 
scarlet passing to salmon-pink. A wonderful color 
combination. 
Mme. lules Bouche. A splendid white, at times slightly 
tinted with just a touch of tender blush-pink. Long, 
pointed, shapely buds and full double, fragrant, well 
formed flowers. Of vigorous growth, and a free 
and continuous bloomer. 
Mme. Nicolas Aussel. (Pernet-Ducher, 1930). Was 
voted an award of a Gold Medal as “The Most Beau¬ 
tiful Rose in France” in a French contest held Sep¬ 
tember 15, 1931. An outstanding introduction of 
the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. A bright coppery red 
in the very long, shapely, tapering bud that de¬ 
velops into a large, fragrant, full double flower of an 
exquisite opalescent salmon-pink. Vigorous and 
healthy, free and floriferous. 
Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. Very large conical buds and 
enormous pure pink flowers shaded with clear light 
yellow at base of petals. Very beautifully formed and 
unusually fragrant. Long, slender stems, unusually 
vigorous and blooms very freely. 
Olympiad. (Mme. Raymond Gaujard). (Pernet-Ducher, 
1932). This brilliant new red Rose, first sent out 
spring of 1932, is now available in strong plants at 
popular prices. The color of Olympiad is unique— 
a lustrous dark Oriental scarlet, its depth of color 
accentuated by the golden base and intensified by a 
rich velvety sheen. The bud is long and pointed and 
the flower magnificent in every stage of development. 
Awarded Gold Medals during 1932 at the Atlantic 
City, Philadelphia, and New York Flower Shows. 
Patience. (S. McGredy & Son, 1927). Long, pointed, 
scarlet buds and large, double, high-centered flowers 
of scarlet-carmine, shaded with orange and orange- 
scarlet; moderately fragrant. Bushy growth; pro¬ 
fuse, continuous bloomer. 
Portadown Fragrance. (McGredy, 1931). A most 
pleasing Rose not only on account of its beautiful 
form and color but also for its remarkable sweet 
fragrance. Described by its introducer as surpassing 
any other variety. The long buds are pointed. The 
flowers are very large, double, high-centered, and 
will last an unusually long time on the plant as well 
as after cutting. The color is brilliant orange-scarlet 
passing to bright rose toward the edge of the petals. 
It is a vigorous, strong growing Rose producing a 
very large number of perfectly formed blooms. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. (Mrs. Charles Bell, 1917). Lovely 
shell-pink buds and blooms of fine globular form 
with shadings of soft salmon; sweetly perfumed. The 
plant is notably strong and bushy, bearing good fo¬ 
liage seldom attacked by disease. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. Slender yellow buds and 
large, well shaped blooms of bright canary-yellow, 
deepest in center. Exceptionally vigorous and blooms 
very freely. 
Mrs. Pierre S. Du Pont. 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 pet¬ 
als, and holds its color well to the end. Foliage is 
very ornamental, healthy, and extremely disease re¬ 
sistant. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. (McGredy, 1929). The color of 
this beautiful variety is quite distinct from anything 
yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual combination of 
vivid shades. A beautiful coppery scarlet-orange is 
heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside ot 
the petals, and these colors together give a rich and 
almost dazzling effect. The flowers are of large size 
and beautiful form. They possess the proper fullness 
to make them useful for all purposes. They are very 
freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant 
has a vigorous and exceptionally free habit and is 
one of the best all-purpose varieties.
