Rose Mrs. Sophia Neate. - For hardiness and vigour of growth this is quite equal to the average H.T., and will succeed in any situation in which H.T.'s might be grown. Its habit is free and bushy, and it does not, like many of the Teas, send up an occasional single shoot that is out of all proportion to the rest of the plant. The wood and foliage have a clean, healthy appearance. The well-formed blooms are large and of good substance, with a very neat centre and massive guard petals. The buds are elongated. In the half-developed state the flowers remind one somewhat of those of that grand garden Rose, Pharisaer, being a little fuller perhaps, but having the same charming manner of slightly reflexing the large outer petals, revealing in so doing the exquisitely-formed centre. The colour is deep rose with more or less pronounced coppery shadings, especially towards the middle. Like most of the Tea-scented Roses, this variety is a most persistent bloomer. This lovely garden Rose was raised by Messrs. Bide and Son in 1909, but although it is certainly a first-class variety, it is to be found in very few English growers' catalogues.

Tea Roses
Mrs. Sophia Neate. -- A hardy and vigorous Tea, an excellent variety for the garden. If one may grumble at all, it is because the blooms do not come quite so freely as they might do. The colour is bright salmon and rose-pink, and the flowers are of fair size and good form.

Mrs. Sophia Neate (S. Bide and Sons, 1909). — This can hardly be said to have been frequently exhibited, but a plant in my garden this year produced such excellent flowers that I am tempted to include it here, at any rate as a variety worth trying. Its flowers are salmon pink in colour, of good shape when well grown, and the plant is of quite good habit. ....Southampton. Herbert E. Molyneux.
