p206. Advertisement. Samuel McGredy & Son's. Mrs. George Marriott (H.T.) One of the most distinct and charming Roses in existence. The flowers are very large and absolutely perfect in shape and form. It is a flower of wonderful depth and of that lovely conical form so much admired in perfect Roses; a remarkable Rose in all weathers, every bloom coming perfect. The colour is a deep cream and pearl, pencilled and suffused rose and vermilion; a wonderful colouring which gives a grand distinctive character to this novelty. It is probably the most reliable and most perfect exhibition Rose grown, and yet, owing to its splendid habit of growth and freedom of flowering, will be one of the most attractive and most sought after Roses for bedding and garden culture yet raised. It is sweet scented, and must rank as one of the most remarkable varieties in existence to-day. Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.
