Lord Penzance's Sweet Briars.
These lovely hybrid Sweet Briars, apart from their extreme beauty, are intensely interesting, being crosses between the well-known Sweet Briar and various other roses, such as Austrian Briar, varieties of Galllca, etc. All of them possess the deliciously-scented foliage and strong, vigorous growth of the Sweet Briar, and are as hardy as Oak trees: the flowers are of the most beautiful tints, and are produced in great profusion, presenting the delightful odor and the numerous golden stamens of the Sweet Briar flower, and much larger. A unique race of Roses of great beauty.
Flora M'Ivor. Pure white, tinted rose, large flowers.

Lord Penzance's Hybrid Sweet Briars
A New Selection of Roses Which Will Be An Exceedingly Valuable Addition to Our List of Decorative Varieties.
Every one loves the old scented Sweet Briar Rose, the Eglantine of poetry. It was a happy thought that induced the Rt. Hon. Lord Penzance of England to devote his leisure to a blending of this old favorite with the modern garden and other roses by a careful series of crossings and hybridizings. The result attained is wonderful, and these new Hybrid Sweet Briars, which we have the pleasure of offering to our customers, cannot fail to give satisfaction, as they are charming garden plants of exceptional beauty, fragrance, and hardiness. They certainly are a great acquisition. Never perhaps since the introduction of the Hybrid Perpetual Section has there been such a decided break away from the ordinary Roses in cultivation as the Hybrids now offered.
The plants are very hardy, and are exceptionally robust, vigorous growers. They are quite astonishing in this respect, bushes four or five years old throwing up shoots ten, twelve, and even fifteen feet high. These when covered with the flowers have a most gorgeous effect, the flowers, which are single, and of the most beautiful tints, being produced in lavish profusion. The foliage, like the common Sweet Briar, is deliciously scented.
The plants should be given a position where they can develop freely. They should not be pruned to any extent, but should be allowed to assume a natural growth. We offer nine of the finest Hybrids, as follows:

Lord Penzance's Sweet Briars.
These wonderful single roses, raised by Lord Penzance, have already obtained a world-wide reputation, and are very popular. Like their parent (sweet briar) both foliage and flower are deliciously fragrant, they are all strong growers, free bloomers, and perfectly hardy. The flowers are single, but lasting. Extra strong plants, 4 to 6 feet high, 2/— each. These require no pruning, and make impenetrable hedges of great beauty.
Flora McIvor (Keynes & Co., 1894), pure white, blushed with rose; perfect for cutting; large flowers; graceful in growth and habit, a gem.
