"Hawlmark" Novelties, 1914.
Mrs. Campbell Hall. (Tea). -- Delicate creamy buff, subtly edged (half inch) or suffused rose carmine. The centre of the bloom is warm cerise coral fawn. Its spiral formed bloom is of huge size, and the petals are of such glorious texture they open naturally in all weathers. It is strongly and delIciously rose-tea perfumed. The foliage is dark, quaker green, thick, leathery, waxy and bright. The growth is vigorous, more of the Hybrid Tea type, and exceedingly floriferous. It is an exhibition rose of the first rank, and a pot rose of super excellence. The bloom on the pot plant that gained the Gold Medal at the Spring Show of the N.R.S., 1913, was admittedly the finest individual blossom of any rose exhibited. It is with more than ordinary pleasure we offer this truly magnificent rose, which was raised by Dr. J. Campbell Hall. Awarded Gold Medal, N.R.S. Standards 10/6; Dwarfs 7/6 each .

The New Tea Rose, 'Mrs. Campbell Hall'. By Dr. J. Campbell Hall.
The seed parent of this Rose was given to me as 'Souvenir d'un Ami', but never being quite satisfied that it was rightly named I showed a bloom of it to Mr. McGredy, of Portadown, and afterwards to Mr. W. J. Grant and Mr. H. E. Molyneux. All agreed that it was not 'Souvenir d'un Ami', and were of opinion that it was that old Tea, 'Adam'. The pollen parent was 'Anna Chartron', from which, no doubt, it derives the carmine shading. The seed was sown on January 26th, 1903, and flowered on July 17th of the same year. I was so impressed by its colour and form that I named it after my wife, and posted the bloom to my neighbour, Mr. McGredy, who replied saying—" It is the best Rose you will ever raise, and far better than the 'Lady Rossmore'." To describe accurately the colour of many of our Teas is not an easy matter, and this one I confess is far beyond my descriptive powers on account of its numerous tints and shades. I should say, however, that light apricot yellow flushed with bright carmine, and petals tipped with a deeper shade of same colour, will be somewhere near the mark. The flowers are large, full and pointed, with shell-like petals which open well. Growth very vigorous, somewhat after the style of 'Maman Cochet', except that it is more free flowering and carries its blooms erect on strong stems. It was exhibited for the first time in 1907, at the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society's Show in Belfast, when a box of "six similar" was awarded first prize as well as a special award of merit. The genia and hearty congratulations I received on that occasion from Mr. George Dickson, senior, of Newtownards, will ever remain with me a pleasant memory and an encouragement to continue my seedling hobby. I have no note of the number of seeds in the hip, but there was a good number, as 23 came up and all flowered the same year, except two, which did not bloom until the following year. The majority of their blooms were double, only three being single and one semi-double. There was great variation in colour—from creamy white to lake red. Carmine and yellow were the predominant shades. Some were very vigorous while others were delicate. One was quite thornless but had a poor flower and a wretched constitution. I regret I did not keep more of them, as several would have been very pretty garden Roses; but for one fault or another I discarded all except this one and another, which has flowers of a lovely shade of salmon pink, but, unfortunately, so far I cannot get it to make wood. This year, however, I am hoping to do better with a couple of buds I worked from the only vigorous shoot it has ever made.
