H. J. Cutler. Roses in the North Island.
Chas E. Shea is a splendid rich rose pink that has all the points of a first-class exhibition bloom while making an excellent garden variety. Its strong, clean growth and habit of producing blooms singly make it all that can be desired.

'Dorothy Page-Roberts'..... A fuller Rose of very nearly the same colour is found in C. E. Shea (Hicks, 1916). It is quite a fair grower, though not quite so strong as the last named Rose, and the flowers are well formed, stand well for exhibition and are freely produced. It is a Rose well worthy of consideration.
