Novelties for 1907.
Lena (Tea Scented)  Vigorous. A decorative rose of great beauty. It's colour is unique, being a glowing apricot, the edges of the petals assuming a primrose yellow as the flower ages. The bud is long and perfectly formed, it flowers very freely and frequently produces sprays of from 7 to 9 perfect blooms. It is without doubt one of the most exquisite decorative garden roses, being a great advance on Beryl.
