W. E. Lippiatt (Hybrid Tea, Messrs. Alexander Dickson and Sons, Limited, 1907). -- A fine dark crimson Rose that I can strongly recommend. The flowers are always of good shape and a good colour, but, of course, from its very nature an old flower turns maroon or purple. It has a fine point, plenty of substance, particularly free in the autumn and is strongly perfumed. I am inclined to think it the best dark Rose of recent introduction. I am not sure, but I believe this Rose was exhibited by the raisers on more than one occasion under the name of H. V. Machin.
