The Scarcity of Yellows.
There is always a dearth of good yellows, but recent years have added some of our best forcing and bedding roses in this color.  [...]
Mme. Melanie Soupert, probably unequaled in bud form by any other rose in existence, with an ultra-refined, peony-shaped flower when developed, is a superb variety; it is a golden yellow with an orange yellow center, the whole flower suffused delicate pink.

The Scarcity of Yellows.
There is always a dearth of good yellows, but recent years have added some of our best forcing and bedding roses in this color.  Not a new rose, but one of our best yellow hybrid teas, is Mme. Ravary.  This variety came out in 1899, but was overlooked by growers in this country until recently.  Its main drawback is the difficulty of its propagation, which will always make it scarce.  Its color is a beautiful golden yellow, opening full orange yellow.  It is good in bud and in the open flower.

Tea Roses.
The class of roses dear to all rose growers in the south are the tea roses.  With such varieties as Pink and White Cochet, Helen Good, Duchess de Brabant, Mme. Lambard, Safrano and William R. Smith, this type will ever be truly representative in our southern climate.  This section of everblooming roses seems to embody every delicate tint and color of the rainbow, with vigorous growth and strong, healthy, leathery foliage that is resistant to mildew.  They are persistent bloomers and practically all are highly perfumed, an attribute essential to a perfect rose.

Melody is a marvelous, free-blooming yellow and is a rose of the highest merit.

Some of the Newer Teas.
Miss Alice de Rothschild is heralded as the bush Marechal Niel.  I have tested this variety but one season, but it promises to be a reliable bedder.  It is a free bloomer, holds its color well and is deliciously fragrant.  Another good tea of recent introduction is Mrs. Dudley Cross.  It is not unlike White Cochet and appears to be an improved Marie Van Houtte.  The open flower is well finished and is one of the largest in this section.

Some of the Newer Teas.
A few of the best varieties of recent introduction are highly promising, and among these may be mentioned: Molly Sharman-Crawford, a rose of snowy whiteness; Mrs. Herbert Stevens, which appears to be an improved Niphetos; Alexander Hill Gray, a floriferous lemon yellow variety that will make its mark as a most desirable bedder; Hugo Roller, another good lemon yellow variety; Mrs. Foley Hobbs, one of the finest teas of recent introduction, a veritable giant, delicate ivory white; Lady Hillingdon, an intense, deep yellow, a rose of general merit that will prove a wonderful bedder, being a flower of great substance and holding its color longer than any other yellow that I have ever tested.

Mrs. Aaron Ward, the grand forcing yellow, has proved to be a splendid bedder; it is distinct in color and in the formation of bud and open flower; the open flower is somewhat flat, but the bud is particularly elegant in shape; the color is a rich Indian yellow, with salmon tintings at the edge of the petals.

Mrs. Alfred Tate is a fascinating variety, a good grower and constant in bloom; the color is coppery red, shaded fawn, with a distinct ocher-yellow shading at the base of petals.
