GROWERS OF SELECTED ROSES 
Dame Edith Helen 
PINK ROSES, continued 
Columbia. A lively bright pink 
which deepens in color as the 
bloom matures; sweetly scented. 
Especially good in late summer 
and autumn, when the blooms 
are borne in profusion. A 
reasonably strong grower with 
healthy foliage. 
Dainty Bess. Single flowers which 
are often 3 inches across. The 
color is a pure flesh-pink with 
tints of old-rose on the reverse 
of the petal. A variety that has 
attracted a great deai of atten¬ 
tion, as the flowers are at times 
nearly square, somewhat after 
the fashion of clematis. 
Mrs. Charles Bell 
Dame Edith Helen. At its best in both color 
and size in spring and autumn. The flowers 
are clear pink, very fragrant, and carried on 
strong, erect stems. A vigorous-growing plant. 
Generally considered a top-notch pink Rose 
and we believe it deserves the position. 
Editor McFarland. Among the finest of the 
deep pink Roses. The color, which is a clear 
brilliant pink, holds all through the season. 
The blooms are fragrant, carried on long stems, 
.find extremely desirable for cutting. 
Hollywood. The bloom, which is of medium 
size but full double, is a dark rose-red with 
darker veinings; it is extremely fragrant and 
carried on long stems. The plant is bushy, 
upright in habit. 
Jonkheer J. L. Mock. The blooms are very 
large, full double, and rich deep pink, with 
the reverse of the petals showing silvery rose. 
A heavy bloomer in spring and fall, with a 
moderate number of blooms in summer. 
Killarney. Bright sparkling pink blooms come 
from long-pointed buds. Popular both for the 
garden and for growing under glass. It is a 
strong, robust plant, giving flowers liberally. 
La France. One of the oldest Hybrid Tea Roses 
in cultivation but equal to many of the modern 
sorts. The blooms are bright pink with curling 
petals that show silvery tints; fragrant. 
Lady Ashtown. Both the buds and the 
blooms are a shin;y pink, with a slight 
touch of yellow at the base of the petals; 
quite fragrant. 
Leonard Barron. Unusually large and 
full double flowers with nearly a 
hundred petals. The color is a blended 
light salmon and shell-pink with a 
suffusion of pale copper. 
Lulu. The buds are unusually attractive, 
long, slender, and brilliantly colored 
with orange-pink and copper; the open 
flower is flat and nearly single, but re¬ 
tains its pleasing color. Desirable both 
in the garden and for cutting. 
Mme. Butterfly. An extra-fine Rose 
which should be in every garden. Both 
the buds and the open bloom are light 
pink with tints of gold near the base of 
the petals; richly perfumed, d he plant 
is strong growing and throws up many 
stems surmounted with sprays of flow¬ 
ers. Mme. Butterfly can be depended 
on to bloom unde^trying conditions. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar to Radiance but 
with a softer shade of shell-pink both in bud 
and bloom. A strong-growing plant with clean 
foliage seldom attacked by dust. Like its 
parent. Radiance, this variety is a most de¬ 
lightful Rose, blooming freely in the South. 
M rs. Henry Bowles. A highly recommended 
variety with clear pink flowers which shade 
slightly lighter as they open. The blooms are 
reasonably high centered and remain in good 
condition for many days after cutting. 
Mrs. Henry Morse. The blooms have two con¬ 
trasting tones of pink with an under tinge of 
yellow; they are double, large, and have a 
slight fragrance. Plants are extremely hardy. 
M rs. Lovell Swisher. The blooms carry rich 
tones of salmon-pink and gold, changing to 
flesh-pink at the edges of the petals. The 
plant is free blooming in spring and autumn. 
Pink Grootendorst. (Hybrid Rugosa.) A 
sport of the red F. J. Grootendorst and similar 
except that the color is a light shell-pink. 
Vigorous and bushy, and constantly in bloom. 
Premier Supreme. The flowers are very large, 
high centered, double, and moderately fra¬ 
grant. The color is a deep rose-pink, almost 
scarlet. Plant is a strong grower.
