Bourbon Roses 



Very floriferous compact shrubs with bright 

 glossy foliage. The flowers are most profuse in 

 late summer and autumn, and are noted for their 

 exquisite form and color. They require close prun- 

 ing in early spring. 



Appolline. Rosy pink ; flowers large and cupped. 

 One of the best varieties. 



Champion of the World. Deep rosy pink, large and 

 double, very fragrant. A vigorous, free-flowering va- 

 riety, valuable for bedding.

 constant bloomer. 



Souv. de la Malmaison. Delicate flesh, tinted with 

 fawn ; large and very double, deliciously fragrant. A 

 grand Rose. 



Brier Roses 



Handsome flowering shrubs, perhaps more use- 

 ful as garden plants than for cut-flowers. They 

 require very little in the way of pruning, and the 

 shoots should be shortened only a few inches. If 

 severely trimmed, they will not blossom until an- 

 other season's growth has been produced. It is 

 common practice to grow several plants, severely 

 pruning a part of them in alternate years. 



Austrian Copper. Flowers single, bright coppery red, 

 the reverse of the petals golden yellow. Very effective.

 of exquisite form. An old-time favorite.

 mon Sweet Brier and other Roses. The foliage is de- 

 liciously fragrant when bruised. The flowers are single

Climbing Tea and Noisette Roses 



Free-flowering climbing Roses with an almost 

 continuous succession of handsome fragrant flow- 

 ers. They are especially valuable for trailing over 

 poiches, pillars or other supports, and require very 

 little pruning. They are partial to fertile, moist

 chosen that are protected fiom the coldest winds.
