DEAN HOLE ROSE is a sport obtained by J. H. Taylor, a florist of Bayside, L. I. from Madame Caroline Testout. The color is white tinted with a warm creamy shade in the centre. It was introduced to us at a dinner given in New York, November 14, to Dean Hole by a few of his horticultural friends, and there named Dean Hole in compliment to the honored guest. Beyond that the blossom was a beautiful one we can tell very little about this new rose, but it comes of an excellent parent. Madame C. Testout is a hybrid tea rose, not hardy in the north, but now largely grown in greenhouses for winter flowers. Its color is a clear satiny rose and it is quite double for its class, and highly fra grant. A good many years ago a very beautiful and brilliant H. P. rose was named S. Reynolds Hole, but while it is still one of the very best hardy roses in Europe, it isn't satisfactory with us here. It is not in roses alone that our florists are honoring the Dean, we find they have also named a beautiful new white chrysanthemum and a yellow carnation in compliment to him.

Some two or three years ago it was intimated that the Dinsmore and Mme. Chas. Wood were probably identical, and in a late catalogue they are noted as such. As some time has elapsed since this was first spoken of, cannot someone now throw some light on the subject?
[Mr. J. N. May, page 244, says that Dinsmore is a seedling of Mme. Chas. Wood, and in Ellwanger's book on The Rose they are classed as distinct. ED.]

[In a history of the development of Hybrid Teas] About 1882 Mr. Bennett gave us that beautiful rose, Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, perfect in its flowers, and so good that its feeble growth notwithstanding, it has held its own in gardens, and is now playing a part as parent in the production of the new hybrid teas, Dickson and Pernet Ducher having both used it as a parent. It was a distinctly marked cross, with the freedom of the teas and the bold flowers of the [hybrid] perpetual. If I recollect rightly, Victor Verdier, an already tea-influenced hybrid perpetual, was one of its parents...
The new hybrid teas of 1893 have some of the defects of Lady Mary Fitzwilliam. Thought beautiful in the flowers, they do not grow strongly enough...
