Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Duchess of Wellington. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1909.) Enormous, tapering buds of golden orange, slowly opening to very large saffron-colored, sweetly fragrant Roses of great size and substance. Plant very vigorous, healthy, and liberal with its flowers.
For many years considered the best of all yellow Roses but a little lacking in petals and strength of stem; color becomes lighter with age. There are newer yellow Roses of better color and more pretentious form but none so generally satisfactory. No Rose-garden is complete without a bed of the Duchess, and it should be included in anybody’s “first twelve” sorts.
