HYBRID TEA ROSES—Continued 
Mrs. George Shawyer. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1911.) 
Brilliant rose pink. Almost solid color. Large, full 
and well formed. Highly recommended for forcing. 
Mrs. Muir Mackean. (McGredy, 1912.) Ruddy 
cense. Buds red shaded deep crimson. Very long 
pointed in bud, elongated cup-shaped when open. 
Color much like American Beauty. The flowers 
last well and expand very slowly, attaining unusu- 
all> large size while still in bud form. Stems 
long and strong. Production free. 
Mrs. Robert Peary. See Climbing Kaiserin Au¬ 
gusta Victoria. 
Mrs. Sam Ross. (H. Dickson, 1912.) Flesh suf¬ 
fused salmon and underlaid with buff. Color hard 
to describe, but delicate, unique and very pleasing. 
I* lowers cupped, with outer petals slightly reflexed 
Best in fall. 
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. (Hill, 1903.) Flesh 
pink; outer petals creamy white. Open flowers 
large, full and very well formed. Color delicate 
but is held well. 
Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. (McGredy 1909 ) 
Rosy carmine, outer petals soft pearly ’ blush. 
Among over three hundred varieties exhibited bv 
us at the 1915 Exposition Rose Show, none attracted 
more attention than this. Buds and flowers are 
extremely large, borne perfectly erect on grand 
stems. Petals have the two-toned effect described 
under Jonkheer .7. L. Mock. Bush is healthy and 
vigorous. Certainly a grand rose. 
Mrs. Wallace H. Rowe. (McGredy, 1912.) Bright 
sweet-pea mauve.” So termed by its introducer. 
Shade is very unusual, but runs toward pink with 
us. Flowers of good size and well formed. Growth 
is vigorous. Runs close to the H. P. class. 
Mrs. W. J. Grant. See Belle Siebrecht. 
My Maryland. (Cook, 1909.) Bright pink. Fra¬ 
grant and free blooming. Growth strong. 
Nerissa. (Paul. 1912.) Pink, flushed carmine; 
buds cream, flushed salmon. Coloring resembles 
Antoine Rivoire. Buds sharply short pointed; open 
flowers have high center with reflexed outer petals. 
r P ,° ld , Gold - (McGredy, 1913.) Coppery orange. 
j i? n F*, s endei ■ Pointed buds are vivid orange 
red, tinted apricot. Semi-double with about two 
rows of petals. Very fragrant; free bloomer; foli- 
age dark, glossy green. Its wonderful coloring and 
simplicity of form are sure to win a host of ad¬ 
mirers. 
Ophelia. (Paul, 1912.) Salmon flesh shaded rose 
with chamois center. A rose that is lovelv at ever\ 
stage. The buds and flowers are beautifully formed 
and colored, enhanced by rich veining on the petals. 
~ te T, s , are * onR: and carry flowers erect. Could 
hardly be praised too highly. 
Perle von Godesburg. (Lambert. 1902.) 
tinted creamy yellow. Same as “Kaiserin” 
a little yellower. 
Pharisaer. (Hinner. 1902.) Silvery pink 
fi™ Sed -* S , alm ? n ; Buds lonf? pointed. Open .. UW n: 
Jaige with pointed center and reflexed outer petals 
T he hatter are of unusually good size. Stems ex 
cellent. Blooms moderately in spring and heavip 
in fall. 
Whit<

faintly 
flower? 
Prince de Bulgarie. (Pernet-Dueher, 1902 ) Sil¬ 
very flesh shaded rosy salmon. Flowers large and 
handsome at all stages. Has won its place among 
the good sorts. 
Queen Mary. (A. Dickson, 1913.) Creamv 
ground, brilliantly penciled and flushed cerise with 
an underlying shade of yellow. Combination of 
colors is wonderful and almost impossible to de- 
scribe. Buds are long and pointed, with an unusual 
spiral form and recurved tips. Open flowers are 
semi-double, loose and spreading, medium sized, 
fragrant and freely borne. 
Radiance. (Cook, 1909.) Soft carmine pink. 
Flowers are large and cup-shaped, unusuallv elon¬ 
gated, very double, sweetly scented. Growth vig¬ 
orous and e ; rect. with spreading branches. Blooms 
freely. Well liked. 
Red La France. See Duchess of Albany. 
♦Reine Marie-Henriette. (Levet. 1878.) Cherry 
red. A great favorite among the climbers. Flow¬ 
ers are very large, full, freely borne, attractively 
colored a nd fragrant. Would be almost perfect 
♦Varieties starred are climbers. 
except for its tendency to mildew during the early 
part of the season. 
♦Reine Olga de Wurtemburg. (Nabonnand, 1881.) 
Dazzling red. Flowers large, semi-double and 
borne in great profusion. Foliage especially hand¬ 
some. Thrives exceptionally well under the trying 
conditions around San Francisco Bay. 
Rhea Reid. (Hill, 1908.) Crimson scarlet. Color 
rich and satisfying. Flowers large, double and as 
fragrant as La France. Petals velvety. A splen¬ 
did addition to the limited number of good reds in 
this class. 
Richmond. (Hill, 1905.) Scarlet, lightly shaded 
crimson. In the bud this closely resembles Liberty, 
but as the flowers open the color is better retained. 
The coloring of half-opened flowers is very rich. 
Blooms freely and has good fragrance. 
Rose Queen. (Hill, 1911.) Intense pink of about 
same shade as Mad. Caroline Testout, but with 
yellow at base of petals. Buds are beautifully 
formed and borne on long stems. Particularly good 
for cutting. 
Souvenir de Wooton. (Cook, 1890.) Bright crim¬ 
son. Flowers large, rather loose. Delightfully 
sweet scented. Growth strong. Blooms freely. 
Souvenir du President Carnot. (Pernet-Dueher, 
1S95.) Rosy flesh, sometimes nearly white. Fine 
buds on long stems. Flowers large. Very free 
bloomer. 
♦Striped Reine Marie-Henriette. See Madame 
Driout. 
Sunburst. (Pernet-Dueher, 1912.) Yellow shaded 
coppery orange. Outer petals lighter. It is large, 
magnificently formed and richly tea-scented. Color 
is often very light in spring, but glorious in the 
fall. Form is long cup-shaped when fully ex¬ 
panded. No other yellow in this division jumped 
into popularity so quickly. Superb. 
Verna Mackay. (A. Dickson. 1912.) Fawn suf¬ 
fused sulphur. In bud stage it is amber yellow, 
slightly ruddy outside. The buds are pointed and 
spiral. Open flowers are of medium size and only 
moderately double, showing the odd red stamens. 
Fragrance is delightful; we know of none better. 
Color shading is very beautiful; in fact, its exact 
tint is so far not duplicated in any other variety. 
Its charm is due to its simplicity and daintiness 
rather than to any bold effect. Our experience 
while testing it was that the more we saw of it 
the better we liked it. 
Viscountess Folkestone. (Bennett, 1886.) Creamy 
pink shading to a salmon center. Blooms freely. 
Flowers large and fragrant. 
White Killarney. (Waban Co., 1909.) White. 
Identical except in color with Killarney, from which 
it is a sport. 
Winnie Davis. (Nanz & Neuner. 1902.) Flesh 
pink, outer petals silvery blush. Buds long pointed; 
flowers large and formed much like Clara Watson 
or Miss Kate Moulton. Not very double. Growth 
vigorous, erect and slender. An extremely heavy 
bloomer, particularly in spring. 
TEA ROSES 
Formerly this class had a monopoly on the 
so-called “tea-scent,” which was one of their 
most distinctive characters, but now by re¬ 
peated hybridizing many of the Hybrid Teas 
possess the same fragrance fully developed. 
As a general rule, to which as usual there are 
exceptions, their growth is very slender and 
not so very vigorous. Foliage is almost al¬ 
ways very glossy. Their tendency is to bloom 
continuously. They require considerable prun¬ 
ing, good soil and proper care, but will well 
repay all the care and attention they receive. 
Anna Ollivier. (Ducher, 1872.) Cream, shaded 
carmine at base. Coloring is conspicuous in bud 
stage, making variety unmistakable. 
Beaute Inconstante. (Pernet-Dueher, 1893.) Cop¬ 
per red, shaded carmine and yellow. Colors are 
beautifully blended and form a very unusual com¬ 
bination. Handsome in bud and even more so 
when opened, as the coloring shows then to best 
advantage. Semi-double. Very free blooming.
