Tea-scented roses are the most suitable for producing blooms for button-holes during autumn and winter, but it is essential that the best varieties be chosen. A good selection would be, De-voniensis (creamy white), Catherine Mermet (rose), Eliza Savage (pale yellow), Isabella Sprunt (white, with pale yellow centre), Madame Falcot (Apricot color), Madame Lambard (bronzy red), Marie van Houtte (yellowish white), Safrano (fawn color), David Pradel (rose), and Niphetos (white). - Gardening Illustrated.
