HYBRID TEA ROSES, Standard Varieties—Concluded 
MRS. WALTER EASLEA (Alex. Dickson, 1910) — A distinct 
and charming Rose; of imbricated form and robust, vigorous 
and erect growth. The blooms are large, full, and are most 
freely produced. The color is a glowing crimson-carmine, 
which, as the flower expands, deepens to intense crimson - 
orange; the back of the petals, being an intense satiny-crim¬ 
son, lends additional charm to this lovely variety. 
MY MARYLAND (Cook, 1909)—One of the finest American in¬ 
troductions. 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 flower¬ 
ing, 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 excellence. 
NATALIE BOTTNER (Bottner, 1911) — Color, delicate cream- 
yellow ; a flower of wonderful finish in the way of “Kaiser- 
in ;” very vigorous, but nevertheless most floriferous. It 
combines the prominent qualities of the two celebrated Roses, 
“Druschki" and “Kaiserin." This novelty is much superior 
to them. 
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 mag¬ 
nificent effect in the garden. Creamy-yellow, center tinted 
peach. A great garden Rose. 
OPHELIA (W. Paul, 1912) — Salmon-flesh shaded with rose; 
large, and of perfect 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 vari¬ 
ety. Growth vigorous. Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure 
to have “Ophelia'’ fixed in your memory. 
OLIVIA (Hill, 1907) — It has more petals in it than General 
MacArthur, and is a shade lighter in color than Rhea Reid, 
but has them both backed off of the boards when it comes 
to free blooming. A superb Rose. 
OTHELLO (Paul & Son, 1912)—Deep blackish-crimson, with 
pronounced maroon shades; distinctive coloring; large, well 
formed flowers. 
PEERLESS (Lippiatt, 1907) — Almost pure white with pale flesh 
center; large, full, well formed; very floriferous. 
PERLE VON GODESBERG (Schneider, 1902) — The Yellow 
Kaiserin. This is identical with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, 
the peer of any Rose, except in color, being a pure white 
with yellow center. Exquisitely beautiful. 
PHARISAER (Hinner, 1903)—Rosy-white, shaded salmon; 
large, full, well formed, very floriferous; good. 
PIERRE GUILLOT (Guillot, 1879)—The freest blooming of all 
the Roses we grow; large, handsome buds and flowers of 
richest, deepest red. A wonder. 
PRESIDENT TAFT (McCullough. 1908)—It is without question 
the most remarkable of all pink Roses. It has a shining, 
intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose. It is a 
fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, fragrant, and 
in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank Good, who is 
probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America, 
says: “Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, 
and then you will not say enough." 
PRINCE DE BULGARIE (Pernet Ducher, 1901)—Silvery-flesh, 
very delicately shaded with salmon, long bud opening to full 
cup-formed flowers; a distinct and very charming variety. 
* Mark the prediction, “Prince de Bulgarie" will be in the 
forefront of all forcing Roses. 
PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (Soupert & 
Notttng, 1910) — Without doubt the most promising red forc¬ 
ing Rose in sight. The color is a clear and lively red with¬ 
out tone of purple that kills all the other red forcers. The 
color is most pleasing and under artificial light wonderfully 
brilliant. Growers will make no mistake in planting this 
Rose heavily. 
PRINCIPAL A. H. PIRIE (Bernaix, 1910)—Silvery-pink with 
salmon tints and cochineal center. Large and full. A most 
glorious Rose. 
QUEEN BEATRICE (Kramer, 1907)—One of the very finest 
bright pink Roses, the color being very clear, very much the 
shade of Mrs. Robert Garrett. Buds and flowers are of fine 
form, very free in bloom. A grand Rose. 
QUEEN OF SPAIN (Bide, 1907)—Flowers very large and very 
full; large, smooth petals, of good substance; perfectly 
formed flowers, with high pointed center. Color delicate 
flesh with deeper center. An ideal Rose. 
RENA ROBBINS (Hill, 1911)—Strong grower, producing its 
enormous flowers in the greatest profusion. Conies a bright 
yellow, changing to a pure white, with golden-yellow heart. 
RADIANCE (Cook. 1909) —A brilliant, rosy-carmine, display¬ 
ing beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. 
The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. 
It blooms constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a 
superior Rose. 
RHEA REID (Hill, 1908)—This is the new red forcing Rose; 
flower large and double, very free blooming and exquisitely 
fragrant, rich dark velvety red; a good red garden lUse. 
The flowers are double, of fine size, while the color is all 
that is to be desired. 
RICHMOND (Hill, 1905)—Pure rich scarlet, a seedling from 
Lady Battersea ; very free and continuous flowering • splen¬ 
did forcer. * 
ROBIN HOOD (Hill, 1911)—This new Rose has a glorious scar¬ 
let color that is at once soft and bright and lasting; the 
bloom is full and of the beautiful build of the H. P.'s. 
ROSEMARY (Hill, 1907)—Satiny silvery-pink; large, full and 
very floriferous. This we consider one of the best Roses we 
have. Certainly grand. 
SENATEUR MASCURAND (Pernet Ducher, 1909)— Flowers are 
large, full and globular; color deep orange-yellow, lighter on 
the edge of the petals. 
SOUVENIR DE PRESIDENT CARNOT (Pernet Ducher. 1895) 
— Delicate flesh shaded to white; might best be described as 
having a flush of fawn overspreading the flower; large, an 
extra fine Rose. 
SUNBURST (Pernet Ducher, 1912)—This magnificent giant yel- 
lotv Rose in a fine forcer; it stands head and shoulders 
above all others of its color, and will rank with American 
Beauty and the Killarne.vs in value and grandeur. The color 
is orange-copper or golden-orange and golden-yellow ; edge 
of petals lighter; all intense shades, extremely brilliant in ef¬ 
fect. Some call the color cadmium-yellow. It is the yel¬ 
lowest of all Roses in the everblooming class. 
TRIUMPH DE PERNET PERE (Pernet Pere, 1890)—This is a 
fine bedding Ro.se possessing many good qualities; a pure 
magenta-red; distinct and desirable. 
VERNA MACKAY (Alex. Dickson, 1912)—This is a beautiful 
delicate ivory sulphur-buff, changing to bright lemon-yellow 
as the flower expands. The flowers are carried on erect 
stems and are borne in marvelous profusion. Growth vigor¬ 
ous, free branching habit, every shoot being terminated by a 
sweetly perfumed flower. 
VISCOUNTESS FOLKESTONE (Bennett. 1880)—There is no 
Rose of any class that beats this superb variety. The color 
is a white suffused with fawn. Very large in size, very free 
bloomer. A most wonderful Rose. 
WELLESLEY (Waban Conservatories, 1905)—Wellesley has 
been awarded some of'the best prizes at Rose shows all over 
the country. The color is a beautiful shade of pink, the 
outside of the petals being very bright in color, with silvery 
reverse. Fine in the field. 
W. E. LIPPIATT (Alex. Dickson, 1907) Brilliant *velvety 
crimson, shaded maroon ; very strongly scented. Large, full, 
distinct. A first rate Rose. 
WHITE KILLARNEY (Waban Rose Company, 1909)—A sport 
from Killarney. The white forcing Rose of the century. 
Words cannot describe its imposing grandeur. This is the 
greatest forcing Rose of any color or class. Benches of it 
during the winter give the appearance of a bank of snow. 
It is pure white in color, long in bud, of fine form; in fact, 
it is the one Rose par excellence. 
WHITE LA FRANCE, or AUGUSTINE GUINOISSEAU 
(Guinoisseau, 1889)—Beautiful light fawn color, almost 
white: rightly described as an almost white La France. Ex¬ 
tra fine. 
WHITE TESTOUT (Bide & Son, 1911)—This is identical with 
Madame Caroline Testout, except that the color is pure white. 
A grand novelty. 
WILLIAM NOTTING (Soupert & Notting, 1904)—This Rose 
was first sent out in this country under the name of Indiana. 
By some mishap it has been overlooked in the shuffle. We 
have found out it is a first-class Rose, and we will in a man¬ 
ner resurrect it. The flowers are very large and full; color 
a bright rosy-cerise, center deeper, sweetly perfumed. It is 
a grand bedding Rose. 
WILLIAM SHEAN (Alex. Dickson, 1900)—Purest pink, petals 
shell-shaped, four to five inches long; flowers of immense 
size and substance and of perfect form : free blooming and 
distinct. Gold medal, N. R. S. You will have to travel a 
long way before you beat this Rose for the garden. 
WINNIE DAVIS (Nanz, 1902)—A most beautiful Rose. Apricot- 
pink with tints of the Aurora Borealis. Superb. 
YVONNE VACHEROT (Soupert & Notting, 1905)—Color porce¬ 
lain-white, strongly marked with pure pink: long pointed 
buds of splendid form, carried on stiff stems and opening to 
very large flowers. Awarded the gold medal at Liege.
