Hybrid Tea Roses, Newer Varieties—Continued 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912)—This Rose was given an award 
of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of Eng¬ 
land. Why they did not give it a gold medal is beyond 
our ken. An enormously large, full flower, of fine shape, 
making a magnificent effect in the garden. Color creamy 
white, shaded with pure white, center tinted peach. 
Very large, full, free and good. This is a great Rose. 
OLD GOLD (McGredy, 1913)—This is undoubtedly the 
most beautiful bedding Rose in existence, and the most 
glorious color that has ever been seen In any Rose; the 
tint is a vivid reddish-orange with rich coppery-red 
and coppery-apricot shadings. The finest novelty yet 
raised and beautiful beyond description. Awarded the 
gold medal of the National Rose Society. 
OPHELIA (W. Paul. 1912)—When Ophelia was sent out 
on its message of Rose beauty to entrance the world, 
there was placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to 
Wm. Paul & Son that will grow brighter as the flight of 
time goes on. Its lustre will never tarnish or grow dim. 
A more enduring memorial than anything else In the 
world can give. Think what joy and happiness, yea. 
pqace, this Rose will produce as the ages go by, and 
how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their description, 
which we give verbatim: "Salmon-flesh, shaded with 
rose; large, and of perfect shape; of excellent habit, the 
flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems and pro¬ 
duced in great profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine 
decorative variety. Growth vigorous." Certainly a glorious 
Rose. Be sure to have "Ophelia" fixed in your memory. 
PRIMROSE (Soupert & Notting, 1913)—Melon-yellow 
during spring and summer, deeper in autumn, with apri¬ 
cot shadings, a most distinct coloring; large, double, of 
perfect form, wdth long pointed buds; deliciously fra¬

PRINCESS MARIE SCHERBATOFF (Soupert & Notting, 
1914)—Buff-yellow, with gleaming center; large, of per¬ 
fect form, with regular petals, carried on long, upright 
stems; very free flowering; an Invaluable Rose for all 
purposes. 
QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913)—Deep bright ca¬ 
nary yellow, on shell shaped petals, which are crayoned 
with pure deep carmine. The crayoning gives a glorious 
warm coloring as the yellow and carmine do not com¬ 
mingle. It is most floriferous and fragrantly Primrose- 
Tea perfumed. Altogether the decorative Rose of today, 
as it will very rapidly establish its popularity. Awarded 
silver cup for the best seedling Rose, Festival of the 
Empire, Crystal Palace, London. Also silver gilt medal,

proven a grand forcer, and is wrongly named by the

SUNBURST (Pernet Ducher, 1912)—This magnificent giant 
yellow Rose is a fine forcer; it stands head and shoul¬ 
ders above all others of its color, and will rank with 
American Beauty and the Killarneys in value and 
grandeur. It has long, pointed buds, which can be cut 
tight for market. The color is orange-copper or golden- 
orange and golden-yellow; edge of petals lighter; all 
intense shades, extremely brilliant in effect. Some call 
the color cadmium-yellow. It makes no difference what 
you call its color, it is the yellowest of all Roses in the 
ever-blooming class. Belongs in the class of big Roses; 
has created a sensation wherever shown. Yes, and 
something more must be said about this Rose. It puts

fusion. Growth vigorous, free branching habit, every 
shoot being terminated by a sweetly perfumed flower. 
WHITE SHAWYER H. T. (Tatty, 1915)—This is a sport 
from that grand forcing Rose, Mrs. George Shawyer, 
and like its parent Is a glorious forcer. Indeed, some 
growers claiming that it will supersede all the white 
forcing Roses. Snow white, of the largest size, and a 
good keeper, It is a good Garden Rose, being a strong, 
vigorous grower and free bloomer. Don’t forget White 
Shawyer when making up your planting list.
