SINGLE ROSES FOR GRACEFUL BOUQUETS 
Le 
Innocence. H. Tea. (1921.) A five inch, 12 petalled rose, of purest white, 
with wine-red staemens, in profuse bloom all season; its one fault—no fragrance. 
Strong, healthy plant, with dark, disease-resistant foliage. (Apropos of nothing at 
all, of course—out of six rose enthusiasts of the “weaker” sex, only one was able to 
spell Innocence correctly! ) 1.25 
Irish Elegance. H. Tea. (1905.) Tall, strong, ever-blooming plant, with 
nice clean foliage. Blooms are large, five petalled, and vary with the seasons from a 
bronzy, deep peach touched scarlet, to lighter apricot hues. A favorite bouquet 
rose of Mrs. Lesters’ and liked by many. The writer prefers Irish Fireflame for its 
stronger coloring. 1.25 
Irish Fireflame. H. Tea. (1914.) A large, single rose of rare beauty— 
long spiral crimson buds, open to old gold, splashed crimson blooms, frequently 
five inches across. Another leading bouquet rose in the Lester household. Its bronze 
foliage is unusually handsome; tall grower. 1.25
