HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES, continued 



Merveille de Lyon. White. Center slightly rose-peach; a grand, full 

 cup-shaped flower of large size, hardy and free ; one of the best. 



Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. Rose -pink. Deep rosy pink, the outer 

 petals shaded with pale flesh, white at base of petals, and distinct from all 

 other Hardy Perpetual Roses ; one of the very finest Roses grown. 



Mrs. John Laing. Pink. Soft pink in color, very large and of fine form; 

 a good grower and abundant bloomer ; a variety of special merit. 



Paul Neyron. Deep rose. Flowers of enormous size. Fine foliage 

 and growth. 



Prince Camille de Rohan. Deep crimson. Deep velvety crimson, 

 large, full and of fine form ; very beautiful. 



Ulrich Brunner. Cherry-crimson. Large size, fine form; a good 

 garden or exhibition Rose. (See plate on page 132.) 



MOSS ROSES 



The Moss Rose, admired for the beautiful moss covering of the buds, is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very 

 desirable for outdoor culture. Most varieties bloom but once in the season, and 

 usually not the first year, but the flowers and buds are very large and handsome, 

 remain in bloom a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful Roses are 

 known. They like rich ground, and are much improved in beauty and fragrance 

 by liberal manuring and good cultivation. (See plate on page 121.) 



Blanche Moreau White. Pure white, perfect form, well mossed; the 

 finest white moss Rose. 



Crimson Globe. Deep crimson. Buds nicely mossed ; flowers deep 

 crimson, large, full and globular ; growth very vigorous. 



Zenobia. Rose. Flowers fine satin -rose color, very soft and pleasing; 

 large, full, globular, and exceedingly fragrant ; buds well mossed ; growth 

 vigorous. 



RUGOSA ROSES 



Rosa rugosa. Japanese Roses. These Japanese Roses form sturdy bushes. 

 They are perfectly hardy in the most trying places, standing hot suns well 

 and thriving in dry or sandy soils. The dark, rich, leathery foliage is oddly 

 wrinkled ; the large, fragrant single and semi-double flowers are produced in 

 profusion throughout the summer. In the autumn they are followed by 

 orange -red and scarlet heps or seed-pods. Rugosa is extremely useful in 

 rough situations and shrubbery borders, and we know of no Rose that sur- 

 passes it. We ask special attention to the beautiful hybrid varieties described 

 on page 133. All have excellent foliage, and their flowers are a decided 

 change from the regular rugosa blooms. 



R. rugosa, var. alba. White flowers. 



R. rugosa, var. rosea. Pink flowers. 



R. rugosa, var. rubra. Red flowers.
