Only a moderate number of Tea Roses have been put into commerce this year [1911], and they are chiefly continental. The best is an Irish-raised variety named Alexander Hill Gray (Alex. Dickson and Sons), to commemorate the celebrated amateur Rosarian of that name. The pure lemon-yellow flowers recall the colour of Perle des Jardins, but they are of large size, beautifully formed, sweetly scented, and of the first quality for exhibition purposes, being particularly fine in autumn. It has been awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society, and was also awarded a gold medal at the Festival of Empire Exhibition at the Crystal Palace on September 28th last, where it was shown in quantity, and where many of the Roses already mentioned figured prominently.

It does well in Northern districts, and makes a strong tree when established. The buds are pretty, and the flowers open into well-shaped blooms of good substance. It has a strong tea perfume.

Mrs. O. G. Orpen requires very hard pruning of the last season's growth, and has two drawbacks. Like all other damasks, it is subject to mildew, and is not perpetual....Near the fence is the original plant of Mrs. O. G. Orpen — I have about forty now — and some exceptionally fine specimens of Irish Glory,
