THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose. The winter is practically over so far as the roses are concerned, and it is interesting to note for future guidance in planting varieties of roses that have flowered well during the cold months. George Nabonnaud [sic] is an old rose, and somewhat weak in colour, and consequently is seldom planted in these days, but it is a remarkable rose to flower during June and July. I noticed a large bush of this the other day fully 9 ft. high, and it was covered by large creamy-buff flowers, and the foliage was good.

THE ROSARY. By Dog Rose. The winter is practically over so far as the roses are concerned, and it is interesting to note for future guidance in planting varieties of roses that have flowered well during the cold months. [...] Goubalt, another old variety, can always be relied upon to flower during the coldest part of the year. A large bush of this at Clarence Park produces baskets of roses every year, and such flowers command quite a good price.

Miss Stewart Clarke (H.T., A. Dickson & Sons). A fairly vigorous Rose, with dark green foliage. The blooms, which are of a medium size and globular, are carried singly on stout stems-sweetly scented. The colour is a pure golden yellow which does not fade. A decorative and bedding variety, reminding one very much of the French Rose "Constance." In commerce

Certificates of Merit were awarded to :—
Emma Wright (H.T., S. McGredy & Son). A very fine decorative Rose. When I first saw this Rose I thought it too much like the H.T. Old Gold, but it is really a great improvement on that well-known variety. The blooms are of a pure orange colour, which it retains until the petals fall; in fact blooms I took home with me from the Show to compare with Old Gold, were of as rich a colour when fully expanded two days later, as they were when in the bud-sweetly scented. The foliage is bright and glossy, and quite free from mildew. It is a charming Rose, and one that will be in great demand for bedding and decorative purposes. Will be placed in commerce in 1918.

Emma Wright (H.T.) On the lines of "Old Gold." The colour being pure orange, without shading.  An extraordinary attractive, decorative bedding and massing Rose,  quite distinct from any other variety.  The foliage is remarkable being clear, bright glossy green, and mildew proof. The most charming of all Roses in its colour, with a perfect habit of growth and extraordinary free blooming. Very sweetly scented. Card of Commendation, National Rose Society.

Mrs. George Marriott (H.T., S. McGredy & Son). A distinct and charming Rose of vigorous growth. The blooms are very large, high centre, of perfect shape and sweetly scented. The colour is a deep cream, suffused rose vermilion - quite unique. An ideal exhibition and garden Rose, and one that has come to stay. Will be placed in commerce in 1918.

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.
