OLD GOLD 
Devoniensis. The Magnolia Rose. A lovely Rose 
that was a great favorite a generation ago and for 
which we have had many inquiries since we began 
offering dependable Teas again. Lovely white, 
flushed pink flowers freely borne on a vigorous 
bush. 
Duchesse de Brabant. Soft shell-pink. Bud short, 
globular; open, cupped flower. Growth vigorous 
and hardy. Long a favorite Tea. 
Freiherr von Marschall. Carmine-red; double. 
Vigorous and constant. A fine old Tea Rose, 
sometimes called the Double Papa Gontier. 
Lady Hillingdon. Deepest yellow of all Tea 
varieties. Bud long pointed; flower semi-double, 
open, apricot-yellow, fragrant. Bushy growth; 
bronze foliage. The favorite yellow Tea Rose. 
Louis Philippe. (Bengal.) This is a most unusual 
Rose of deep red. Foliage dark and glossy. Used 
extensively for Rose hedges and is a profuse 
bloomer throughout the whole Rose season. In 
fact, in mild seasons it blooms throughout the 
winter in Gulf coast and Florida areas. 
Maman Cochet. Bud large, long pointed; flower 
large, double, clear pink, fragrant. This variety 
does not grow off as rapidly as such varieties as 
Mrs. Dudley Cross and Mme. Lambard but 
eventually makes fully as large a bush. One of 
the best cut-flower Teas. 
Marie van Houtte. Canary-yellow, petals tipped 
pink. Large, fairly double flowers borne in pro- 
fusion over a long season. Foliage dark and 
abundant. 
Mme. Camille. Large, full, well formed; aurora- 
pink, veined with white reflections; fragrant. A 
lovely old Tea. 
Mme. Lambard. This Rose is one of the great 
favorites with those who love Tea Roses. Car- 
mine-pink, shaded salmon, deepening to almost 
red in the fall. Rank grower and profuse bloomer. 
A generation ago it was the unrivaled leader of 
Tea Roses in the Lower South, and today there 
are many who still think it the best. 
Mme. Melanie Soupert. Salmon-yellow, shaded 
pink. An old Rose but one of the best. Large, 
very double flowers on stiff stems. 
\. Monsieur Tillier. Sent to us as a red Tea with 
small blooms like Cecile Brunner. But in_the 
Lower South it grows vigorously, like other Teas, 
and the flowers are larger. Profuse ‘‘Floribunda- 
like’ flowers. 
Mrs. B. R. Cant. Deep rose to light red; large, 
double flowers. Vigorous and profuse. One of the 
best of all Tea varieties; many rank it right along 
with William R. Smith and Mrs. Dudley Cross. 
Mrs. Dudley Cross. Most vigorous of all yellow 
Tea Roses. Light yellow, long, Cochet-like bud; 
immense flowers, opening light yellow and grad- 
ually developing tints of pink. Wood perfectly 
thornless. A rank-growing, showy and completely 
satisfactory Tea Rose that should be in every 
collection. 
Mrs. Dunlop Best. Saffron-yellow with apricot 
shadings. Bud long pointed; flower large, double, 
fragrant. Vigorous in growth; flowers freely 
produced on long stems. 
Mrs. Herbert Stevens. Bud long pointed, white 
slightly tinged pink; open flower fairly large and 
double, pure paper-white. Typical strong Tea 
growth and free bloom. 
Old Gold. Something different in color for Tea 
Roses. Orange, with yellow and pink shades. 
Vigorous and prolific. A rare and attractive Tea 
Rose that ts well named. 
Papa Gontier. Rose-red; fine, long-pointed buds 
and large, semi-double flowers. 
Perle d’Or. The salmon Sweetheart Rose. 
Princesse de Sagan. An old, deep red Tea Rose; 
fairly double; profuse and constant. We recovered 
this fine old Rose in 1946. 
Safrano. Saffron-yellow. Very vigorous bush and 
free bloomer. A very old, dependable Tea, ap- 
preciated where it is known. 
Snowbird. Bud long pointed; flower double, high 
centered, very fragrant; white with creamy 
center. Foliage leathery. Like other Teas, highly 
resistant to blackspot. J 
Snowflake (Marie Lambert). Small, semi-double, 
ivory-white flowers produced abundantly on a 
very vigorous bush. 
Souv. de la Malmaison. (Bourbon.) Very large, 
double flower; creamy flesh with rosy center; 
highly fragrant. A famous old Rose, dating back 
to 1843, still lovely, still satisfactory. Small 
wonder it has witnessed the demise of thousands 
and thousands of other Roses and still lives; in it 
are combined the qualities we expect in a Rose.
