THE GOOD A REESE COMPANY WHOLESALE TRADE LIST 
TEA-SCENTED ROSES FEW THAT^R E S SCARCE 
The original blush Tea Scented Rose. A variation of the China Rose; was imported from China in 1810. In combination 
with the Yellow China, or Tea Rose introduced in 1824, it has been the origin of all the splendid varieties we now possess. 
Tea Roses are distinguished from others by the delightful fragrance of the flowers and by the delicate shades of yellow, nan¬ 
keen, salmon, copper, wanting in Hybrid Perpetuals. They bloom in great profusion during the entire summer and autumn, 
being especially fine during the autumn months. These are ever-bloomers; half hardy. 
LADY PLYMOUTH (Alex. Dickson, 1914)—A most distinct and 
meritorious Rose of the "Souvenir de Pierre Notting" type, 
whose delicate pearly but deep Ivory cream petals are very 
faintly flushed, giving it a most piquant finish that is dif¬ 
ficult to describe. It is delicately pure tea perfumed. 
Awarded gold medal, N. R. S., and silver medal, Crystal 
Palace, London. 
MRS. CAMPBELL HALL (Alex. Dickson, 1914)—Delicate 
creamy-buff, edged or suffused rosy-carmine. The center of 
the bloom is warm cerise coral fawn. Very deliciously fra¬ 
grant. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. 
MRS. S. T. WRIGHT (Alex. Dickson, 1914)—A delightful Rose, 
a sport from that prime favorite "Harry Kirk." The guard 
petals are delicate cadmium old gold; the center petals have 
a delicate and charming suffusion of delightful, pure rose- 
pink on cadmium orange-chrome. A very intense silk fin¬ 
ished apricot. Has a deliciously pervading hybrid-perslan 
perfume. 
WHITE SHAWYER (Totty, 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 gr garden 
Rose, being a strong, vigorous grower and fret „,oomer. 
Don't forget White Shawyer when making up your planting 
list.
