'Allen Chandler' Climber. Restrained enough for a pillar or a small house, 'Allen Chandler' displays large, warm crimson flowers, beautifully shaped, although not endowed with many petals. The foliage is a handsome mid-green and is usually resistant to mildew. There are many flowers to come after the first lavish display. This is a fine rose, its only fault being its lack of strong perfume. it should not be forgotten. It was raised by Mr. Chandler, an American rose-lover, and introduced in 1923. 'Hugh Dickson' x unknown. Repeat flowering. Fragrant.

‘Ronningii’. Angel’s Camp.  Tea.   Here is yet another old Tea Rose preserved at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, its shapely, softly fragrant blooms reminiscent of a paler-toned ‘President Herbert Hoover’ in shades of pink and rose.  Foliage is semi-glossy and dark green.  There must be many old Teas surviving in old gardens in mild places like California, South Africa and Australia, giving a good account of themselves despite neglect, or perhaps because of it.  Teas dislike any but the lightest pruning, and will shrink from the overzealous gardener’s secateurs.

Rosa foliolosa ‘Anne Endt’. Shrub. ‘Anne Endt’ is a selected form of a very graceful species from Oklahoma and Arkansas, making a luxuriant, almost thornless bush with lush bright green foliage (foliolosa, given by Thomas Nuttall, means ‘ Leafy’) which colors brightly in autumn, or fall. The large carmine flowers appear late and then continue, a few at a time, until the autumn, or fall, when there are round, deep pink hips to be seen. Late-summer flowering. Fragrant.

'Apricot Queen' – Large Flowered. Blending salmon-pink with apricot, the large flowers of ‘Apricot Queen’ are full and ruffled, with forty-five petals, though not quite of show-bench form. They are moderately scented of tea and are borne abundantly on a sturdy bush with dull green foliage. Bred by Fred Howard of Howard & Smith in California, ‘Apricot Queen’ was introduced in 1940, winning the AARS award in 1941. Despite its age, it remains an excellent garden rose particularly in climates plagued by humid summers. Fragrant.

'Arethusa'. China. The bush is on the large side for a China Rose, but ‘Arethusa’ still retains much of the China Rose daintiness in its slender stems and dark shiny foliage. Like most of its class it is in flower throughout the season. The color of the flowers varies with the time of year. Sometimes it is more yellow, at others more apricot. The flowers are moderately full and are arranged in small sprays. Foliage is small and dark green. ‘Arethusa’ is a relatively new China, having been introduced only in 1903 by William Paul. Arethusa was the goddess of fountains to the ancient Greeks and, as such, no doubt a regular visitor to gardens. Parentage unknown. Repeat flowering.
