Roses by Bobbink & Atkins
(1929)  Page(s) 46.  
 
Hardy Climbing Roses
Albertine. Hybrid Wichuraiana. (Barbier & Cie., 1921.) Vermilion buds and coppery chamois-yellow flowers, passing to coppery rose; large, rather loosely formed; somewhat fragrant. Blooms in loose clusters; vigorous plants with leathery, shining foliage and reddish tips. Seems to be reliably hardy.
Midseason. A glorious new color in climbing Roses, and distinctly good. The large flowers are much like those of the Hybrid Tea, Mrs. A. R. Waddell, both in color and shape. With Coralie and Jacotte, the most notable introductions of new color into the Climbing Roses for years, it has become very popular.

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.
Alexander Emslie. Hybrid Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1918.) A ruby-crimson flower of moderate size, globular shape, and delicious fragrance. The plant grows freely under most conditions and blooms well; foliage dark and apparently quite resistant to disease.
A good Rose, practically unknown in this country, although its clear ruby color should commend it for more extensive planting. Valuable chiefly for garden decoration but when disbudded will produce large and perfect blooms.

Tea Roses
These are the original Everblooming Roses, from which the Hybrid Teas... have descended. They are less hardy and need careful protection in severe climates, but they bloom more freely. These Roses are best suited to the warmer parts of the country, and southern planters should rely upon them to a large extent because of their continuous bloom, resistance to disease, and their great beauty of flower. In the North they make fine pot plants.
Alexander Hill Gray. Tea. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Pale lemon-yellow deepening in the center of its perfectly formed fragrant flowers. Moderate growth and bloom.
One of the hardiest and most beautiful; best in autumn.

Hardy Climbing Roses
Alexandre Girault. Hybrid Wichuraiana. (Barbier & Cie., 1909.) Deep carmine, double flowers of medium to large size, shaded with orange-salmon at base of petals, produced in trusses of moderate size by vigorous, profusely blooming plants.
Midseason. A good climber which is little known in this country. Deserves a trial because of its clear and attractive color.
(1929)  Page(s) 37.  
 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses
Alfred Colomb. (Lacharme, 1865.) Light crimson with carmine reflexes, fine, globular form; extremely fragrant. Vigorous, medium height, with scattered thorns and large, handsome foliage.
A grand old Rose for general use. When established, gives fine flowers in autumn. Habit is somewhat similar to that of General Jacqueminot but has fewer thorns and the flowers which are fuller and more globular, are produced much more freely.
(1929)  Page(s) 37.  
 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses
Alfred K. Williams. (Schwartz, 1877.) Magenta-red, shaded crimson, large and perfect, with beautifull imbricated petals; some fragrance. Moderate growth, but hardy and free flowering.
One of the most beautiful, but needs good care to bring it to perfection. The bloom is of the Alfred Colomb type and the plant much like General Jacqueminot. This and Alfred Colomb are almost the only survivors of a good old family of exhibition Roses of the highest class. Both of them require skilled care and cultivation to enjoy them at their best.
(1929)  Page(s) 42.  
 
Polyantha Roses
Polyanthas are, perhaps the most truly everblooming of all Roses, being scarcely ever out of flower during the whole growing season... They are especially valuable for massing, edging, and to some extent for mingling with other flowers.
Alice Amos. (Jan Spek, 1922.) Large, single flowers of bright cherry-pink, with white eyes, borne in immense trusses continuously throughout the season. Growth unusually good.
It seems to be an excellent bedding and decorative variety, reaching 3 feet or more in height.
(1931)  Page(s) 39.  
 
Alice Amos (Jan Spek, 1922). Large, single flowers of bright very-pink, with white eyes, borne in immense trusses continuously throughout the season. Growth unusually good. It seems to be an excellent bedding and decorative variety, reaching 3 feet or more in height.

Hardy Climbing Roses
Alida Lovett. Hybrid Wichuraiana. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1905.) Bright shell-pink flowers of Hybrid Tea size and quality, lightly shaded with sulphur-yellow at base of the petals; faintly perfumed. Plant extra strong.
Midseason. A sparkling pink variety, with many traits of the popular Dr. W. Van Fleet, but darker in color and of more cupped form.
(1929)  Page(s) 60.  
 
Noisette Roses
We offer here a selection of this old and very beautiful class of Roses, mostly of climbing habit, although a few of the older bushy type are included. The flowers are usually of the much-desired yellow and coppery shades and are uniformly fragrant. Recommended to our southern friends.
Alister Stella Gray. (Gray, 1894.) Pale yellow blooms, with orange center shading to white, are produced in clusters. Plant a vigorous and free-flowering climber.
A favorite old-time Noisette, now rather rare, greatly admired for its charming pale yellow flowers.
