Single Roses
These are Hybrid Tea Roses with single or almost single flowers, and require the same culture and care as the other Hybrid Teas. They are often called the "Irish Singles", although they are not all of Irish origin. The buds are especially fine, but the open flowers are rather perishable although they are very freely produced.
Old Gold. Hybrid Tea. (S. McGredy & Son, 1913.) Orange buds and buff flowers tinted pink, not quite single, mildly fragrant. Plant of moderate growth needing some extra protection in hard winters.
Best in the bud before the very attractive color fades. See illustration facing page 32.
