Garden Notes - Mons. Joseph Hill to Niphetos

Mons. Joseph Hill
(Hybrid Tea)

A very beautiful exhibition and bedding rose with upright branching habit, bearing large, full, and most perfect shaped flowers. Distinct in coloring, and free and continuous blooming, it is fast gaining a popularity which it will undoubtedly maintain, and is a rose which may be planted in almost any situation. Introduced in 1904.

Mrs. Aaron Ward
(Hybrid Tea)

Flowers are medium in size, and produced on erect stems. Excellent for bedding, and free and continuous blooming. Will thrive best in a rich unctuous loam, and requires very little pruning. Quite one of the best yellow garden roses, and very popular for massing. Excellent for pot culture, and was introduced in 1907.

Mrs. Cocker
(Hybrid Perpetual)

Introduced in 1899, it is a rose which produces large full flowers with high centre and perfect outline. Being free flowering and continuous, it is very useful for bedding and massing. Is very hardy, and may be planted in the most exposed positions with safety. Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society as a rose worthy of distinction.

Mrs. E. J. Holland
(Hybrid Tea)

A perfect rose in shape, and sweetly fragrant. The blooms are carried on long erect stems, which, with its vigorous habit of growth, makes it a very popular rose for garden and decorative purposes, as well as an exhibition rose. Introduced in 1909, it was deservedly awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.

Niphetos
(Tea)

Flowers are large, full, and perfectly formed. Habit of growth is free, but the climbing sport of every respect other than growth-is excellent for pot culture, and a perfect climbing rose for covering the roofs of conservatories. When grown in the open, care should be exercised in selecting a sheltered spot-for preference a south wall.
