New Hybrid-tea Rose, Patience Hybrid-Tea Rose. D.\me Edith Helen Rudolph Valentino (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). The latest of Mr. Pernet's introductions. Altogether different from any other Rose, both in coloring and formation, the very large full flower which is informally, but artistically arranged, is of a lively shade of shrimp pink or coral-red with a golden coppery suffusion which is heightened by the reflection from the golden base and reverse of the petals. A most unique and striking flower in all stages of development. Habit strong and vigorous, free and continuous flowering and delicately scented. $ each. Souvenir d'Alexander Bernaix (Bemaix, 1926). A beautiful large flower, 4-2- inches or more in diameter and unique and dis- tinct in color, probably the deepest colored of any Hybrid-Tea variety. While the flower is of flat, cupped form both in bud as well as in the fully developed bloom, it is of artistic build and full double with from 48 to 50 substantial petals which are neatly arranged. In the half expanded bud the petals are incurved, of an intense deep velvety crimson-red on a maroon ground with touches of scarlet on the outer petals. As the flower fully de- velops it becomes suffused with vermilion carmine at the edge of the petals. A moderately vigorous grower and a continuous bloomer. Gold Medal at Saverne. $ each. Swansdown (Alex Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal white which in the autumn has just a tint of cream at the base of the petals. The buds are large, very long pointed of perfect shape, composed of large heavy petals and develop into splendid full very sweet- ly-scented flowers of spiral formation; these are supported on long rigid stems. Its growth is vigorous and hardy, free branch- ing, foliage bronzy green. In freedom of flowering Messrs. Dick
