Two Good New Roses.
Another beauty from the same raisers is Mrs. Amy Hammond. I am delighted to learn of its distribution in June next. Those who love that charming variety Lady Roberts (and who does not?) will want this novelty, which received the gold medal last season at Salisbury. To obtain such a grandly-built flower of this lovely amber and apricot colouring is surely a triumph for a firm that has in such a short time obtained most remarkable successes. To win eight gold medals in three years out of the fifteen awarded speaks volumes for the strain of seedlings at Portadown, and I shall watch with lively interest the further introductions of Messrs. S. McGredy and Son, for their novelties possess not only a splendour of bloom, but the vigorous growth is so remarkable. P.

New Roses of the Year.
There are some eighty Roses that may be termed novelties of the year, all of which deserve a notice; but perhaps it will be best to take the varieties first that have received awards of some kind during the current year, and I will start with those that have received the coveted gold medal of the National Rose Society, which is in reality the blue riband of the Rose world, seeing that it is awarded by twelve of the best Rose judges it is possible to obtain. [...] Four gold medals were awarded at Regent's Park and four at Salisbury. [...] At the Salisbury Show the four following varieties also received gold medals:
Mrs. Amy Hammond, a Hybrid Tea shown by Messrs. S. McGredy and Son. Colour ivory white, shaded pink and apricot, somewhat of La France form, with similar reflexed edges to the petals. It has a deliciously sweet fragrance, and may be regarded as a very fine addition to this section.
