Interview with P. Joseph Lynch, of the Dingee & Conard Co., by G. C. Watson

We are more than ever enthusiasts on Killarney and that reminds us of a point which every grower of new roses should remember. For years we could not grow Killarney without a dose of mildew but after the stock got acclimated we began to get this variety in its true form. A grower is almost certain to be disappointed with imported stock the first year or two, and should plant wherever possible the home grown article. Where acclimated stock can be procured it is much preferable to the imported even if the first cost be greater--which it often is not.

New Roses of the Year
The National Rose Society had a capital exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Society's hall, Sept. 15.  Following is a list of new roses that obtained honors of some kind.
New seedling Marchioness of Waterford, a globular shaped variety, well filled and of a bright pink tint in the centre, paling off towards the outer oetals, which are reflexed at the tips, was shown by Hugh Dickson & Son, Belfast; a silver gilt medal.

New Roses in Great Britain and Germany
Judging by the new varieties shown at the National Rose Society's meeting on September 15 no flower of extraordinary beauty, color or shape was offered for the gratification of lovers of roses.
Hugh Dickson & Son received a silver gilt medal for their Marchioness of Waterford, a very full flower, bright pink, the outer petals less intense in color than those near the centre, and having reflexed edges.  The central mass of petals forms a separate mass of a globular shape which does not open out and show their color so as to add to the effect as a whole.

I have two seedlings now, a cross between Billard et Barre and Marechal Niel, both climbers. One of the seedlings is all growth and no flowers; the other grows about five inches and then makes a bud. It took twenty flowers of the Marechal Niel to produce enough pollen to fertilize one flower.

A Valuable Climbing Rose.
Prof. C. S. Sargent is practically a hardy yellow Climbing Tea rose.  It is a strong and lusty grower, bronze-green foliage larger than the Ramblers.  The new growths are blood-red and very decorative.
We have a specimen planted six years ago, having a spread of twenty-five feet and ten feet in height.  All the growth is made on the bush from the main stalk which is now two inches in diameter near the ground.
The color is very persistent, being a strong orange yellow, lasting until the petals fall.  The flowers are very full, being crowded with petals.
It blooms about June 15th, which is two weeks earlier than the true Ramblers, thus making the season that much longer.  It is an American seedling- a cross between the hardy Wichuraiana X Souv. de Aug. Metral, a red French Tea rose.

A Remarkable Sport and Its possible Origin. I send you today by mail two flowers of a sport from rose Souvenir of Wootton. The flowers just now are much darker than they are in the summer, or fall. The sport originated with a workman who took some Wootton plants along, as they were thrown out from the bench and planted them in his garden, and one of them produced a shoot that produced this flower. It apparently proves hardy as the plans has been in the open ground for two or three years and has retained its ever-blooming qualites. The color is Louise Van Houtte through the summer and in the fall, but in winter it is darker. As Louise Van Houtte was the pollen bearer of the Souvenir of Wootten this rose has sported back to the one the pollen was taken from seventeen years ago....[signed by] John Cook, Baltimore, Md.

W. R. Smith was in Philadelphia this week and his visit furnished an opportunity to John Shellem to name his new American seedling rose William R. Smith, in honor of this veteran ornamental horticulturist. It is a cross between Isabella Sprunt and Maman Cochet.
