Admiral Ward (Pernet-Ducher, 1915) and Laurent Carle (Pernet-Ducher, 1907), while not alike, are both dark-red, very beautiful roses, but shy-blooming and weak in growth.

Aennchen Müller (J. C. Schmidt, 1907): rather tall, and distinguished among Polyanthas for its large, frilly, narrow-petaled flowers of brilliant pink, in splendid clusters. It will reach three feet easily, and is a splendid representative of the class.

...Is flowers are yellower than those of Alberic Barbier (Barbier & Co., 1902), an early-flowering sort, but they are not so well shaped. It is a little yellower and less hardy than Gardenia (Manda, 1899), a mid-season sort, but is not so rampantly vigorous. All three have lovely foliage and beautiful flowers, but they are truly yellow....

Alexander Hill Gray (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911): a lemon- yellow, very double rose, which fades badly in heat and hangs its head. In very favorable climates and in cool, dry weather it opens well and the stems are better. The plant is hardy for a Tea, standing ordinary winters with the same protection as the Hybrid Teas, and although it freezes back badly, it lives.

Two new sorts, Alice Amos (J. Spek, 1922) and Pink Delight (Laxton, 1922), are highly regarded abroad, and from descriptions seem to be somewhat similar to La Marne.

American Beauty (Ledechaux, 1875): this rose is included in the list, not because it is important, but because so many people think so. It is worthless for the garden except in favored locations; and this entry is a warning to all good folks to keep away from it. Also ignore such snares as Crimson American Beauty, White American Beauty, Pink American Beauty-there are no such roses. The "American Beauty" part of the name is merely a trap for people who think everything with a well-known name must be good. Roses so designated have perfectly good names of their own under which they should be sold. White American Beauty is usually Frau Karl Druschki; Pink American Beauty may be Georg Arends, but is sometimes Heinrich Munch; and Crimson or Red American Beauty may be anything. I have even seen a yellow one advertised; and that is stretching it too far. There is a genuine Climbing American Beauty, which is unfortunate.

American Pillar (Dr. Van Fleet, 1902): single, rather large flowers in gigantic clusters; midseason. Bright crimson-pink with a white eye. It makes enormous growth and needs plenty of space.

Angele Pernet (Pernet-Ducher, 1924): brownish-orange, almost single flowers. Unique and attractive.

Anna de Diesbach (Lacharme, 1858): a fine rose with dark-carmine blooms of the old-fashioned, incurved shape, with many overlapping petals. It is very fragrant, hardy, and a standard sort in all collections. It has been known to bloom in autumn.

Apolline (Bourbon - V. Verdier, 1848): pretty cupped flowers of light pink, and quite a husky plant. Hardly deserves a place in the little garden except as an antique.
