THE GOOD & "REESE COMPANY'S WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
TEA SCENTED ROSES FEW THAT E ARE S SCARCE 
T HE 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, 
nankeen, salmon, copper wanting in Hybrid Perpetuals. They bloom in great perfection during the entire summer and autumn, 
being especially fine during the autumn months. These are ever-bloomers, half hardy. 
ALEXANDER HILL GRAY (Alex. Dickson, 1911.) 
It is wonderfully floriferous. every shoot be¬ 
ing crowned with a flower bud, which develops 
into a bloom of very large size, great sub¬ 
stance and perfect formation, with high point¬ 
ed center from which the petals gracefully re¬ 
flex. The best aud largest pure yellow Tea 
Rose yet introduced. Its color is a solid deep 
throughout. “Marechal Niel" like lemon-yel¬ 
low ; strongly tea scented. Gold medal, 
N. R. S. 
LITTLE DORRIT (Paul & Son, 1912.)—Creamy- 
yellow, the outer petals heavily edged and 
splashed with vivid blood-red and coppery- 
rose ; when quite open a beautiful silvery-pink, 
contrasting finely with the deep half open 
buds; most’effective, very free and perpetual. 
LADY HILLINGDON (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) 
This is a grand forcing Rose, having a long 
slender pointed bud of brilliant deep golden- 
yellow. 
MADAME BEATRICE EPHRUSSI (Nabonnand, 
1912.)—Carmine-rose shaded buff and tinted 
with copper with a beautiful center of dis¬ 
tinct golden chamois; large, full, sw'eetly 
scented. 
MADEMOISELLE BLANCHE MARTIGNAT 
(Gamon, 1904.)—Like so many of the good 
continental Roses, we just happened to have 
the good luck to run onto this superior Rose 
by chance. Why it has been neglected so long 
is beyond our comprehension. The only solu¬ 
tion to the question, “lost in the shuffle/' is 
probably the appropriate answer. Growth free 
and the foliage is quite distinct, both in shape 
and color. The shape is extremely long and 
pointed. It has a distinct light silvery color. 
The flowers are beautiful peach-pink, with 
tints of yellow and crimson, the same colors 
as seen in the Aurora Borealis. 
Madison. 
Mrs. George Shawyer. 
MADISON (Brandt Hentz, 1912.) — This is the “moneymak¬ 
er" among the cut flower Roses, and is a greatly Improved 
Bride, and when we say improvement, we mean a genuine 
improvement. The best feature of Madison is that the fo¬ 
liage does not mildew. All know how badly the Bride mil¬ 
dews. Well, Madison is mildew-proof. Then after being 
planted 'and well established, Madison will cut as many 
flowers as Killarney, cutting steady each month in the 
year. Madison is a grand addition to our list of forcing 
Roses. Remember, that “Madison" is the money maker. 
MISS ALICE DE ROTHSCHILD (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—The 
color is rich, deep citron-yellow, which intensifies as the 
bloom expands. This color does not fade. The flowers 
are very large, full and of perfect form, with high pointed 
center. The petals charmingly reflex. The growth is vig¬ 
orous and erect, and it is free and continuous in bloom, 
deliciously fragrant. 
MRS. FOLEY HOBBS (Alex. Dickson, 1910.) — It is a ver¬ 
itable giant among Teas. The huge thick shell-shaped 
petals create a bloom of exceptional merit; color delicate 
ivory-white, faintly tinged pink on the edges of the petals. 
Deliciously perfumed. This Rose stands without a rival. 
MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER (Lowe & Shawyer, 1911.)—This 
variety is a wonder for freedom of growth and bloom. No 
other forcing Rose can touch it. on these two points. It 
throws up strong breaks in rapid succession, and a bench 
soon shows dense growth, every shoot tipped with a bud. 
The color is bright peach-pink and is carried on three 
and four-foot stems. This Rose has won awards every 
place shown, and in the past two years it has been ex¬ 
hibited in practically all the shows, especially in the 
East and abroad. 
MRS. HERBERT STEVENS (McGredy, 1910.) — The bloom is 
as long, and even more pointed than any of the “Maman 
Cochet" family; faultless in shape and form; a flower of 
exquisite grace and refinement; color, white with a dis¬ 
tinct fawn and peach shading towards the center. Gold 
medal, N. R. S. 
MRS. HUBERT TAYLOR (Alex. Dickson, 1909.)—Shell-pink, 
the edges of the petals being ivory-whPe; a really superb 
Rose of perfect formation and finish, and erect, vigorous 
growth, with continuous and free flowering propensities. 
RECUERDO DE ANTONIO PELUFFO (Soupert & Notting, 
1910.)—Light diaphanous yellow with pink edged petals, 
exceedingly large, very double and of irreproachable 
form: free flowering until late in autumn; opens freely; 
combines all the delightful and prominent qualities of the 
parents; a strong, hardy Rose with nice long buds.
