....It is time, is it not? that we got away from the almost universal system of naming new Roses after individuals. We have a Mrs. So-and-So, followed all too often by the inevitable Mr. That is apt to become misleading. We have, for example..... Mrs. C. E. Shea and 'C. E. Shea'

Certificate of  Merit to Mrs. Charles  E. Shea  (H.T., S. McGredy  & Son).   A  Rose of very free-branching growth with  glossy foliage. The  blooms are very freely produced,  of good shape, with outer petals reflexed, and are sweetly scented.  The colour is orange-red, shot with glowing scarlet. It is a very fine bedding Rose, and will be useful for massing. This is a novelty of sterling merit, and perhaps represents the most attractive colouring yet seen in Roses.  It will be placed in commerce in June, 1917.
