HYBRID TEA ROSES, Standard Varieties—Concluded 
MRS. ARTHUR ROBERT WADDELL (Pernet Ducher, 1908.) — 
Rosy-scarlet buds opening reddish-salmon, reverse of petals 
rosy-scarlet; semi-double flowers. A good decorative variety. 
MRS. DAVID JARDINE (Alex. Dickson, 1908.) — Delightful 
shade of bright rosy-pink, shading in the outer petals to 
salmon-pink ; large, perfect form ; very highly perfumed. A 
grand Rose in every way. Superb. Uiuiuestionably the finest 
all-around general purpose Rose. 
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. ROBERT GARRETT (Cook, 1899.)—Beautiful shell-pink, 
large expanded flower. The size, brilliant color, free grow¬ 
ing and continuous blooming qualities of this Rose make it 
one desired by everybody. A gem. 
MRS. ISABEL MILNER (Wm. Paul & Son, 1907.) — Ivory- 
white. suffused pink, delicately margined with mauve ; fine. 
MRS. WALTER EASLEA (Alex. Dickson. 1910)—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-crimson, lends additional charm to 
this lovely variety. 
MY MARYLAND (Cook, 1909.)—Color glowing intense pink, 
which lightens up beautifully as the flower expands. A 
grand Rose. 
OLIVIA (Hill, 1907.)—A grand Rose for the garden; of a 
bright rich red color. 
PEERLESS (Lippiatt, 1907.)—Almost pure white with pale 
flesh center; large, full, well formed; very floriferous. 
PERLE VON GODESBERG (Schneider, 1902.) — The Yellow 
lvaiserin. This is identical with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, 
the peer of any Rose, except in color, being a pure white 
with yellow center. Exquisitely beautiful. 
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.) — This Rose was 
raised in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us 
say right here, while some of you may not admire the 
President himself, you will, one and all, admire the Rose 
given his name. It is without question the most remark¬ 
able 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-fiesh 
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. 
PRINCIPAL A. H, PIRIE (Bernaix, 1910.)—Silvery-pink with j 
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 flue 
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. 
RADIANCE (Cook, 1909.)—A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying 
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 Rose. 
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. 
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 Duclicr, 1895.) 
— Delicate flesh shaded to white ; might best be described as 
having a flush of fawn overspreading the flower; large, an 
extra fine Rose, 
TRIUMPH DE PERNET PERE (Pernet Pere, 1890.) This is 
a fine bedding Rose possessing many good qualities; a pure 
magenta-red; distinct and desirable. 
VISCOUNTESS FOLKESTONE (Bennett. 188G.)—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 the 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 sil¬ 
very reverse. Fine in the field. 
Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner, the Popular Baby Pink Rose. 
(See description on page 13.) 
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 Klllarney. Grand in every way. The white forcing Rose 
of the century. Superior to its parent in every particular. 
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. Planted in the garden it 
comes with a delicate pink tinge that if anything adds to its 
beauty. A great acquisition and a really wonderful Rose. 
WHITE LA FRANCE or AUGUSTINE GUINOISSEAU (Guln- 
oisseau, 1889.) — Beautiful light fawn color, almost white; 
rightly described as an almost w'hite La France. Extra fine. 
WILLIAM NOTTING (Soupert & Notting, 1904.) — The flowers 
are very large and full; color a bright rosy-cerlse, 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 dis¬ 
tinct. Gold medal, N. R. S. You will have to travel a long 
ways before you beat this Rose for the garden. 
WINNIE DAVIS (Nanz, 1002.) —-A glorious Hybrid Tea Rose 
of remarkably good qualities; it's a seedling from Mine. Abel 
Chatenay with the rich coloring of Sunrise, a veritable sun¬ 
burst of color. 
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,
