DECEMBER 1, 1903 
Boadicea (Tea-scented): In color pale 
peach with rich pink shading. The 
flowers are high centred, petals large and 
stiff. It is somewhat after the style of 
Mme. de Watteville, but a deeper and 
really handsomer flower. It is swect- 
sccnted and a strong, vigorous grower. 
Dorothy Perkins: A hybrid of that, in- 
teresting Rose R. Wichuriana, and from 
its exquisitely-formed blossoms in huge 
panicles and lovely pink color will be 
valuable as a pillar Rose. Unlike the 
type this Rose grows erect in the way of 
Crimson Rambler, and will be a useful 
com:panion to it. 
Dr. Felix Guyon: A Tea Rose of charm- 
ing form, orange in color with apricot 
shading, very double, will make a good 
slow bloom. , 
THE AUSTRALIAN GARDENER. 
pink. Very distinct, free-blooming and 
free-growing. 
Lady Roberts: A charming and highly- 
celored sport from Anna Ollivier. Color 
rich apricot with coppery-red base to 
petals. : 
Mme. Antoine Mari (Tea-scented): One 
of the priettiest new Roses I have seen for 
a long time, the buds are so perfectly 
meulded, and the color rose washed and 
shaded white, being most attractive. The 
open. flowers are nearly as large as those 
of G. Nabonnand. : 
Mme. C. Monnier: A semi-climbing 
Hybrid Tea of great merit. Flowers rosy- 
flesh, centre yellow with salmon and 
orange shading. Like many of the 
Hybrid Teas, in autumn or when forced, 
~meem  f, 
Ethel Brownlow. 
Brought out in 1887 by Dickson and Sons, colour rosy flesh, stents 
with salmon, a type of the imbricated form. 
A comparatively wea 
rower, but under hich cultivation, producing some wonderfully fine 
looms. A beautiful rose for décorative purposes where the buds have 
been left unthinned. A rose of good lasting quality anda universal 
favourite. 
Duchess of Portland (Hybrid Tea) : 
Rather too near Kaiserin Augusta Vic- 
toria—in fact, it seems a glorified form of 
that grand Rose. 
Frau Karl Druschki (H.P.): Snowy 
white, deep conical buds of splendid ap- 
pearance. Open flowers are large, not 
too double, consequently expand freely. 
Fusion: This is a seedling from Mme. 
Eugene Verdier, but more vigorous, con- 
sequently will make a good wall Rose. 
Color deep chamois-yellow. 
Lady Battersea (H.T.): This, a cross 
between Mrs. W. J. Grant and Mme. 
Abel Chatenay, has a finely-formed bud, 
but the open flowers are rather disap- 
pcinting. Color cherry-red, tinted orange. 
Lady Moyra Beauclere (H.T.): A. valu- 
able forcing and show Rose, rich madder 
the flowers come almost entirely orange- 
yellow. 
Mme. Jean Dupuy: This Tea will, I 
think, become as popular as Mme. Lam- 
bard. The color is a reddish-yellow in 
centre, outer petals suffused with rose- 
pink. The growth, too, is vigorous. - 
Mme. Marie Croibier may be described 
as a  deeply-colored Caroline Testout. 
This, with the type and the white sport 
Admiral Dewey, should make a charming 
trio. 
Mme. Vermorel (Tea-scented) is one of. 
the best Teas we have had for some time. 
It opens well outdoors, and the blossoms 
are. of great substance. Color coppery- 
yellow with rose shading. It is a good 
erewer. 
Mamie (H.T.): A little wanting in 
ti 
brightness, otherwise a beautiful shapely 
Llcom of great depth. A fine grower, 
color rosy-carmine with yellowish base. 
Mercedes: A soft rosy-pink-colored 
Rugosa Rose, as lovely in form as a Tea 
Rose, and the color equally as delicate. 
Mildred, Grant (H.T.): A noble flower 
for the show board, but I should prefer 
‘o test it further in the open before pro- 
nouncing an opinion as to its merits in 
the garden. The color is blush-white, 
tinted pink. Enormous petals like large 
shells. 
Morning Glow (Tea-scented), rosy-crim- 
son, shaded orange and fawn, is a splendid 
grower, and will be much sought after for 
its color. It it also of large size. 
Noella Nabonnand: A climbing Hybrid 
Tea, even more yigorous than Reine 
Marie Henriette. It is a fine semi-double 
flower of the Bardou Job type, color 
velvety-crimson, shaded violet. 
Pauline Bersez (H.T:): Creamy-white 
with yellow centre, fine buds, good grower, 
very promising. 
Peace: A white-flowered sport of G. 
Nabonnand, possessing the fine character- 
istics of this excellent Rose. 
Perle Von Godesberg (H.T.): A sport 
from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, color 
golden-yellow. I believe this Rose will be 
much wanted, but should prefer to see a 
little more of it before giving a definite 
opinion. 
Prince de Bulgarie (H.T.):° Color sil- 
very-flesh with salmon shading. 
Queen Alexandra: A rambler Rose 
that has given much satisfaction. Its 
cclor is rich rose-pink. Fine’ trusses like 
Ciimson Rambler, and equally free in 
growth. 
Robert Scott (H.T.): This looks like a 
glerified Comtesse de Serenye, and its fine 
bold flowers are useful either for show or 
cutting. The growth is somewhat stumpy, 
as one might expect from a cross between 
Merveille de Lyon and Mrs. W. J. Grant, 
Soleil d’Or: This fine break will be in 
demand presently. It is a fine garden 
Rose, and blooms freely in autumn. Tt 
is a hardy kind, and will be useful for its 
cclor in districts where it is not safe to. 
grow the Tea’ Roses, 
Souvenir de Pierre Notting: I ex 
pécted to see a grand flower from a cross 
between Marechal Niel and Maman. 
Cochet, but as seen up to the present I 
caunot say much for it.—Rosa,.
