Text on reverse of card:
COUNTESS OF GOSFORD.
(Hybrid Tea,)
A perfect rose in shape, and in a cool season the flowers, which are carried on long erect stems, are quite up to exhibition form. Being vigorous in habit of growth and very hardy, it is excellent for bedding, and an ideal rose for decorative purposes. Introduced in 1906, and awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society.

“Beautiful, clear salmon pink shaded with saffron. The flowers are of handsome shape and fine substance. In every way it is a remarkably fine, hardy bush Rose which will grow to perfection in any garden.”
