A rose with rather peculiar parents is Grande Duchesse Victoria Melita. This variety is a cross between Safrano and Caroline Testout, the one a tea and the other a hybrid tea; but, however, the raiser calls the new variety a tea, but, all the same, it is somewhat difficult to classify. This variety is a strong grower, and a splendid rose, the buds are long, and always open into a large, well-formed flower. Like its parents, it is a free and continuous bloomer; in color it is creamy-white, with a distinct shade of light gold in the centre.
