'Coy Colleen'. Hybrid Tea. 3 - 4 feet. The McGredys in Ireland breed outstanding exhibition type Hybrid Teas, and 'Coy Colleen' is one of them. Originally named Blushing Rose, which describes it well, for the big magnolia-white blooms blush pink, the depth of color depending on the weather. Haven't seen this listed in other American catalogs. If you want a rose all your neighbors don't have. . . here it is, and if you exhibit in rose shows . . . win a blue ribbon with it. 3 for $5.25 each $2.00

Harry H. Hazlewood. The New Roses of 1954. Coy Colleen HT. (McGredy, 1953). Milky white, semi-double blooms with a pinkish flush on the edges. So far it looks like a cool climate variety which may ball in damp or wet weather. Will be up to exhibition form when well grown
