Tea Roses.
Mrs. B. R. Cant is one of the peculiarly attractive blossoms in both form and color. They are deep rose on the outer petals, the inner reflecting a soft silvery rose that is frequently suffused with buff at the base. The fragrance is very sweet. Every flower is perfectly double, and the plant blooms constantly. The healthy, vigorous growth, which results in the production of strong shoots and stems with heavy foliage, especially commends this variety to persons who desire a general-purpose Tea Rose. The beauties of the flowers are greatly enhanced by grouping with clear white Roses.
