Everblooming Roses
The so-called Everblooming Roses include the Hybrid Tea and Pernetiana groups. They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals.
Venus. Hybrid Tea. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Full, pointed blooms of soft, light pink, toning to pale flesh; fragrant. A fine grower and blooms liberally. Foliage quite resistant to disease.
A charming color, approaching the exquisite tints of Mrs. Charles Bell. The full flowers are very sweet but at times a trifle too heavy for the stems. Untroubled by disease in our experience and the bush grows well.

Venus (H.T., Bees Ltd.).-The raisers showed a very large stand of this charming variety, every bloom of which was perfect. It is one of those Roses which when we have once seen we want. A very vigorous grower, with large perfectly formed blooms, very freely produced on stiff stems. Not liable to damage by rain. Sweetly scented. Colour rich shell pink, shaded gold. Fo1iage leathery, bright green, free of mildew. Very good as a cut back. A very fine Rose. I heard that expert, Mr. Easlea, express the opinion that it would probably supersede Madame Abel Chatenay for bedding purposes. The plants I have are exceedingly fine. In commerce.
