ROSES FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES

Roses for the Cemetery 



For some cemeteries we recommend roses that almost care 

 for themselves the Wichuraiana type. They creep like ivy 

 and make a mat of shiny foliage which is green for eleven 

 months. 



Next to these, we like the dwarf, compact-growing, free- 

 flowering Polyanthas, especially the White Baby Rambler, 

 Gruss an Aachen, Marie Pavie, and Echo. If you can care 

 for bush roses, select from the "Best Yet" sets, according to 

 locality. If you want some of the sturdiest growers obtain- 

 able, choose from this list:

Single Roses 



These are an interesting 

 group in themselves and rep- 

 resented in various classes. 

 The single Irish roses are 

 best among the Hybrid 

 Teas. 



Irish Elegance (see cut) 

 Irish Brightness 

 Irish Fireflame 



The species are most 

 interesting specimens, 

 among which is Xan- . 

 thina. One of the Jfefl 

 largest flowered
