Hybrid Tea Roses.
Queen of Spain
An exhibition Rose that can be successfully shown in competition with the choicest Roses of the garden. The color is pale flesh, darker at the center, and can be counted upon to hold a pleasing tint at all times. It flowes freely, with very large, full, globular blossoms that are richly fragrant. The plant is of robust growth. Where the blooms are to be produced for exhibition purposes, some attention should be paid to the richness of the soil, but otherwise the variety will do as well as many Roses with little attention and produce well-formed flowers throughout the season.

Queen of Spain (Hybrid Tea, Bide, 1907). -- This Rose I must admit has been a trifle disappointing with me. After seeing the raisers put up such fine exhibits one expected great things, but apparently it, too, prefers a cool season. I could not get any point to my flowers, the majority coming with a hole in the centre, where the point should have been, very much after the style of Antoine Rivoire, of which Rose, I believe, it is a seedling. It was awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society.
