Lucie Marie. H. Tea. (1930.) “Bounteous” is the word for Lucie... both 
plant habit and bloom are lush and opulent, far beyond the average hybrid tea. “Butter- 
cup yellow shaded salmon-cerise” is the color, says the originator, but Doctor Gage, 
Arcadia, California, has a word to say also—"A luscious color in cool weather and in 
the hot sun it turns a delicate brown. You may have your ‘Green Rose’... Ill take 
Lucie Marie, the ‘Brown Rose’.” No deal, Doctor .. . me for Lucie, too! Deu 
Magic Carpet. Brownell (1941.) | We are putting the Brownell creep- 
ing roses under this segregation, certainly not because they date ‘‘old-fashioned” 
but because they are ‘“‘different.”” From our Garden Notes ——‘This looks like 
a honey! Very smartly formed, small buds with rose-gold centers, open to a 3” very 
flat, pleasing yellow bloom, paling to the outside petals. Foliage dark emerald-green, 
glossy. Exceptionally pretty.” 
Spring 1949. One of the outstanding memories of this writer's spring tour 
was the long bank of Brownell and other creeping roses in great mass bloom, along 
the border of the beautiful Breeze Hill garden at Harrisburg, Pa. LZ 
Magna Charta. H. Perpetual (1876.) A grand old rose, broad-shouldered 
and lusty, producing big globular, full-petalled blooms, mostly in clusters of 3, 
bright rose-pink suffused magenta. The fragrance needs a new and powerful 
adjective—will one of the Magna Charta’s many admirers supply, please. 1.50 
Maman Cochet. Tea. (1893.) Another great favorite of the Lester 
Gardens, but only for mild climates. Flowers are large to 4 inches, very double and 
fragrant. Its special feature is its unique color—sometimes pale pink, sometimes 
cream, beautifully shaded with various tones of rose. Highly recommended.
