HYBRID TEA ROSES—Continued 
MRS. ARTHUR E. E. COXHEAD (McGredy, 1911.)—In this 
magnificent Rose we have a new and distinct color among ; 
Hybrid Teas, and one very difficult to describe; claret-red, : 
shaded vermilion towards the edge, with a wonderful bright 
silvery sheen towards the base of the petals, giving a dis- ; 
tinct illuminated effect to the whole bloom. A truly great 
variety. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 
MRS. ARTHUR MU NT (Alex. Dickson, 1909.)—Suffused peach 
and deep cream, which becomes ivory-white as the flower 
develops ; the blooms are large, full and perfectly formed, with 
high pointed center and delicately tea scented. A delightful Rose : 
for any purpose, but particularly valuable for the garden. 
MRS. CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON (Alex. Dickson, 1910.) — 
Is a Rose of great beauty and distinctness. The flowers are 
produced in wonderful profusion ; the blooms are large, full 
and of globular form; the petals smooth, circular and of 
great substance; color deep crimson-pink on front of petals, 
crayoned deep crimson-carmine on the reverse side, a warm j 
color that lights up well when held in varied positions of ! 
light; very highly perfumed. 
MRS. CHARLES HUNTER (W. Paul, 1912.)—A strong, vig¬ 
orous grower, with rosy-crimson flowers, changing to a 
pleasing rose as they fully expand. A very bold flower, with 
large handsome petals, produced on strong, upright stalks. 
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (Montgomery, 1912.)—This won¬ 
derful new American Rose has taken the country by storm. 
No other forcing Rose except “American Beauty” can com¬ 
pete with it when it comes to counting points. Stems three 
feet long, stiff and surmounted by grand rosy-pink blooms 
of the largest size and build. Keep your eye on this Rose. 
MRS. CORNWALLIS WEST (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—A truly 
magnificent and absolutely distinct Rose of huge size and 
great substance, with exquisite imbricated globular form. 
The petals are very smooth, shell-shaped, leathery and en- 
trancingly beautiful. The purity of the transparent deli¬ 
cate pink—which is between a shell and a rose-pink—on the- 
purest white gives it an attraction all its own that it is 
difficult to convey. Awarded the gold medal, N. R. S. 
MRS. DAVID BAILLIE (Hugh Dickson, 1912..)—Strong, free 
branching growth, making an ideal plant for massing in 
beds, for which it is exceptionally well adapted. The flow¬ 
ers are beautifully Camellia formed, with petals nicely and j 
evenly reflexed and high pointed center. The color is very 
pleasing and novel, being bright madder-carmine, with the 
delicate veinings of the petals penciled with a deeper shade. 
Very sweetly perfumed. A decided acquisition among bed¬ 
ding Roses. 
MRS. EDWARD J. HOLLAND (McGredy, 1910.)—The color is 
a beautiful deep salmon-rose, shaded lighter towards the 
edges; perfect in both shape and form, with an unusually 
high pointed center. The petals are of great substance and 
beautifully arranged, forming a model flower of exquisite 
beauty, because of the marvelous freedom with which it 
produces its blooms throughout the whole season. Will prove 
one of the finest and most striking garden Roses yet produced. 
MRS. FRANK BRAY (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)—This is claimed 
to be a great advance on the lovely and justly esteemed 
“Mine Ravarv,” which until now has the best of its color 
amongst the decorative or garden varieties. “Mrs. Frank 
Bray” during its several years' trial preceding its introduc¬ 
tion, has proven immensely superior to its prototype, not 
only in vigorous growth, but also in color, which is a deep 
rich, coppery-ecru, developing as the flower opens to a very 
delicate coppery-fawn, with a shading of ivory shell-pink. 
MRS. FRED STRAKER (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—It would be 
difficult, if not impossible, to either speak or write in too 
eulogistic terms of this unique creation. The blooms are 
produced in most extraordinary profusion throughout the 
entire season. The color in the young flower is orange- 
crimson. As the bloom develops it becomes silvery-fawn on 
front of petals, and delicate orange-pink on back; buds 
long, and with a perfectly spiral finish. 
MRS. GEORGE PRESTON (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—A most 
beautiful and thoroughly distinct Rose, flowering in the 
greatest profusion. The blooms are very large, full and of 
globular form; the color is a very delicate warm silvery 
rose-pink, a truly delightful color; sometimes in autumn it 
is lighted up with delicate orange. Very fragrant. 
MRS. G. W. KERSHAW (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—Glowing deep 
glossy pink; large, very full, flowers; of fine form and very 
sweet; very floriferous; a superb and distinct variety. 
MRS. HERBERT HAWKSWORTH (Alex. Dickson, 1912.) — 
A glorious Rose of generous size and almost globular form, 
with very smooth, shell-shaped, massive petals, which are 
very beautifully arranged, perfecting a flower of the highest 
standard. The growth is vigorous and marvelously free 
flowering. The color is deeply zoned ecru on milk-white, 
which, as the blooms expand, become silky, creamy-white; 
delicious tea-rose perfume. 
MRS. JOSEPH H. WELCH (McGredy, 1911.) The color of 
this wonderful Rose is a rich, brilliant rose-pink. So dis¬ 
tinct and rich a color has not yet been attained in any Rose. 
When known, we are certain it will be placed right at the 
top of its class. It is undoubtedly the largest Rose in cul¬ 
tivation, and the most perfect type of Rose the world has 
yet seen. Its rich, brilliant color, perfect shape and gigantic 
size will compel attention in any Rose garden. Awarded 
the gold medal of National Rose Society, 
MRS. MAYNARD SINTON (McGredy, 1910.)—In this grand 
variety we have the masterpiece of perfection in a Rose. 
In size we have the largest: in shape it is perfect, and in 
form, the most beautiful of all Roses. The color is silvery- 
white, with porcelain shading, suffused pink towards the 
edges. In color quite the most distinct among Roses. A 
truly glorious variety. This Rose, along with “Mildred 
Grant,” represents a distinct type among Hybrid Tea Roses. 
Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 
MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (McGredy,; 1912.)—This is a Rose of 
very special merit. In all the range of colors among Hy¬ 
brid Teas, it stands unique and quite distinct; bright car¬ 
mine-crimson, without shading. A grand, bold, well-built 
flower, perfect in shape and form; of the most modern type. 
Extra perpetual flowering. Everything about this Rose is 
pleasing and attractive; fragrant. 
MRS. P. H. COATS (Hugh Dickson, 1910.)—Delicate milky- 
white. Large, full, well-formed flowers. Very freely and 
continuously produced. A fine garden Rose. Said to force 
well. Coming deep sulphur-yellow under glass. 
MRS. RICHARD DRAPER (Hugh Dickson, 1911.)—A mag¬ 
nificent Rose; of robust branching growth. Flowers very 
large and full. Color a glossy, satiny-pink on the outside 
of the petals; inside of the petals silvery-flesh. A glorious 
Rose for the garden, being always covered with flowers. 
Awarded the gold medal, N. R. S. 
MRS. SAM ROSS (Hugh Dickson, 1912.)—Very large, full 
flowers. Petals large, smooth, shell-shaped and slightly 
cupped, beautifully reflexed at the edges. A flower of the 
largest size and great refinement. A novel and uncommon 
shade of color. At once distinct and pleasing, but difficult 
to describe. It may be said to shade from pale straw color 
to light chamois-yellow, with a distinct flush of buff on 
the reverse of the petals. Very sweetly scented. Awarded 
the gold medal of the National Rose Society, Regent’s Park, 
London, July 7th, 1911. 
MRS. WALLACE H. ROWE (McGredy, 1912.)—A superb flow¬ 
er of wonderful size and substance. A shade of color 
hitherto not seen in any Rose. The color is bright “Sweet 
Pea mauve.” A wonderful flower in every respect. Su¬ 
perb shape, form and finish. One of the greatest novelties 
ever raised in Roses. Free flowering and fragrant. 
MRS. WALTER EASLEA (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—A distinct 
and charming Rose; of imbricated form and robust, vig¬ 
orous and erect growth. The blooms are large, full and are 
most freely produced. The color is a glowing crimson-car¬ 
mine, which, as the flower expands, deepens to intense 
crimson-orange, the back of the petals, being an intense 
satiny-crimson, lends additional charm to this lovely variety. 
It is deliciously perfumed. 
MRS. WILFRED LLOYD (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—A very val¬ 
uable addition of the “La France” type. The flowers, which 
are produced profusely, are large, full and globular, per¬ 
fect in form and with delightful reflexes. The color is a 
lovely bright rose-pink, of great intensity as the bloom ex¬ 
pands. The color is constant. Altogether a grand Rose. 
MY MARYLAND (Cook, 1909.)—One of the finest American 
introductions. It has jumped into popular favor at once, 
sweeping the decks of both Europe and America clean. The 
plant is of strong, vigorous growth. Extremely free flow¬ 
ering, every shoot bearing one or more flowers, which are 
double; of perfect form. Color, glowing intense pink, which 
lightens up beautifully as the flower expands. Strongly 
and delightfully fragrant. It will bear more flowers than 
any other Rose we know excepting “Grossherzogin Friedrich.” 
After a full test, we can recommend My Maryland as a 
garden Rose par excellent. 
NATALIE BOTTNER (Bottner, 1911.)—Color, delicate cream- 
yellow ; a flower of wonderful finish in the way of "Kais- 
erin ;” very vigorous, but nevertheless most floriferous. It 
combines the prominent qualities of the two celebrated Roses, 
“Druschki” and “Kaiserln.” This novelty is much supe¬ 
rior to them. This is an absolutely first-class Rose. 
NERISSA (W. Paul, 1912.)—This Rose was given an award 
of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. 
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. Growth vigorous. This is 
a great Rose. 
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 Win. 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, peace, 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 perefect shape; of excellent 
habit, the flowers standing up well on long stiff stems and 
produced 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. 
OTHELLO— (Paul & Son, 1912.)—Deep blackish-crimson, with 
pronounced maroon shades; distinctive coloring; large, well 
formed flowers.
