. Annual catalogue of field grown roses on own roots : open ground culture exclusively. Nursery stock California Los Angeles Catalogs; Roses Seedlings Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. 36 THE CALIFORNIA ROSE COflPANY, Maman Cochet. (T.) This lovely new peerless Tea rose has come to stay, and after testing it in this country for a period of two years, all prominent growers agree that it is superbly grand, and many insist that it is positively the most grand of all pink varieties for culture in the open ground. The French originator refused $1,000 for the original stock of two or three small plants—a very substantial testimonial in itself. The growth is free and vigorous, resisting disease and mildew, symmetrical in form, pretty foliage, and a perfectly free and incessant bloomer. Color a clear rich pink, I changing to silvery rose. As the flowers expand, the centre of the rose discloses. depths of salmon-pink, with light orange tints, while the older petals lessen to pearl- pink, giving a combination of tints which is truly marvelous and the result is a rose truly distinct and different from any other variety. The flowers are of great sub- stauce, are produced on good long and stiff stems and the cut flowers last a long- time. Very double, full, fragrant; and as to size, it is the largest perfectly shaped, ideal rose we know of. The buds are long, firm, full, exquisitely moulded and pointed, the flowers being equally grand as they open. It is one of the hardiest Tea sorts. If you know how to appreciate a grand good rose, you cannot afford to be without a few of this variety. 50 cts. each, $5 per Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California Rose Company; Henry G.
