The following is the raisers' own de- scription: 'The color is quite distinct from anything yet seen in Roses, a wonderful dual combination of vivid shades. A beautiful scarlet coppery orange is heavily flushed with Lincoln red on the outside of the petals, and these colors together give a rich and almost dazzling effect, which is particularly brilliant in sunshine, which seems to illumine the flower and a bed seen under favorable conditions is a wonderful sight. The flowers are of large and beautiful form, and possess the propy fulness to make them useful for all purposes; they are freely produced and delicately scented. The foliage is dark reddish, bronzy green and mildew proof; the stems are long and strong, not thorny, and the blooms erect. The plant has a ^^gorous and exceptionally free habit; a Rose that we are confident cannot fail to please, it is the best 'all purpose variety we have raised.'' Awarded Certificate of Merit of the National Rose Society of England. § each. Portadown (McGredy & Son, 1928). Messrs. McGredy are most enthusiastic in their praise of this new deep crimson with velvety sheen which they describe as having large, full beauti- fully formed flowers, reminding one in perfection of shape of Mrs. Henry Morse when at its best. Habit vigorous and bushy, a continuous free bloomer with dark green foliage. Certificate of Merit National Rose Society, England. S
