Outstanding Roses 
For three hundred years Roses have been a part of the tradition and charm 
of New England gardens. In the days of the early settlers there were only a 
few varieties to be had, but today there are more than two thousand known 
to American gardeners. From our observations and experience we have 
assembled here a brief list of Roses. We consider these the best all-round kinds 
for New England gardens.

Betty Uprichard. A vigorous Rose with fragrant salmon-pink blooms marked 
on the reverse with coppery carmine. 
Charles K. Douglas. One never has too many red Roses. This old favorite 
continues to be popular because it is a truly dependable red Rose. 
Countess Vandal. Plant Patent No. 38. A highly satisfactory hybrid, this 
Rose has long-pointed buds which, when open, show a mass of coppery 
bronze petals suffused with yellow tints. $1.00 each. 
Editor McFarland. A medium-sized deep pink Rose of excellent form and 
substance. It retains its color well when cut. 
Etoile de Hollande. Perhaps the country’s favorite crimson Hybrid Tea. It 
produces flowers of large size, blooms freely, and has a pleasing fragrance. 
Lily Pons. Propagation rights resented. A glamorous yellow Hybrid Tea Rose 
with long, pointed buds. The open blooms have full centers of deep yellow 
shading to creamy white toward the edges of the petals. A delightful new 
introduction, it increases in beauty as the plants get older. $1.50 each. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. A white Rose of tested excellence. It is pleasing both in 
bud-form and when fully open. 
Mrs. Charles Bell. An old favorite. Having sprung from Red Radiance, it 
offers the same form, but is delicate shell-pink in coloring. 
Mrs. E. P. Thom. A pure yellow Rose with good foliage and strong growth. 
It seems to flourish in all parts of the country. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. The spicy fragrance and the reddish gold coloring of 
the petals, shading to orange-yellow, help to keep this Rose in the front 
row of popularity. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy. An Irish Rose with rich dark canes and bronzy foliage. 
It is best described as a scarlet-orange Rose which changes to glowing 
copper. 
Radiance. So long has it been a garden favorite that it is unnecessary to tell 
of its bright pink petals and its vigorous growth. 
Texas Centennial. Plant Patent No. 162. A sport of President Herbert 
Hoover. The color is vermilion-red, changing to deep pink with age. 
85 cts. each. 
Frau Karl Druschki. A Hybrid Perpetual Rose, but it often blooms again in 
the fall. The large-petaled white blooms are immense and the plants have 
unlimited vigor.
