r_, _Countess Annesley_, _Mrs. Harvey Thomas_, and _Souv. de Maria Zozaya_, are all remarkable for their strong and brilliant colouring. Among the yellow shades from palest lemon to deep orange, the choice is not so great; but there are many good roses to choose from, beginning with the two novelties, of 1907--Pernet-Ducher's great Indian yellow rose, _Mrs. Aaron Ward_, which promises well, and Alex. Dickson & Son's brilliant yellow _Harry Kirk_. Of older roses few are better than the noble _Madame Ravary_, _Ferdinand Batel_, the delightful _Gustave Regis_, _Gloire Lyonnaise_, _Duchess of Portland_, and _Kaiserin Augusta Victoria_. _Mrs. Peter Blair_, 1906, is one of the most effective yellows for the garden; and I cannot speak too highly of that little known but very beautiful rose _Peace_, raised by Piper in 1903, its pale lemon yellow flowers borne on long upright stalks are invaluable for cutting throughout the whole season. White and blush hybrid Teas are many. And the famous _Bessie Brown_, _Alice Grahame_, _Mildred Grant_, _Florence Pemberton_, _Alice Lindsell_ and _White Lady_ are to be seen at every show: but they are all exhibition roses except _Florence Pemberton_. _Augustine Guinoisseau_, however, is as good a white garden rose as heart can desire; so is _Lady Quartus Ewart_; and as _Kaiserin Augusta Victoria_ and _Peace_ are so faintly lemon as to be nearly white, there is no difficulty in making a bed of white Hybrid Teas.
