Old-Fashioned Roses 



These grand Roses are hardy and very adaptable, 

 thriving in almost any garden soil. They require 

 comparatively little pruning and attention. 



Cabbage, or Provence. There are both white and red 

 forms. Flowers large, full and double, deliciously 

 fragrant. 



Celestial. The old-fashioned Celestial Rose, white 

 and fragrant. No sweeter Rose in cultivation. 



Damask. Deep rose, flowers large and double, very 

 fragrant. Forms a round compact shrub with hand- 

 some deep green foliage which is retained until late 

 autumn. 



Maiden's Blush. Blush-white ; flowers full and double, 

 very sweet. 



Perpetual. Delicate blush; very fragrant, blossoming 

 throughout the season. 



Tuscany. Dark velvety crimson. One of the richest 

 colored of all the Old-Fashioned Roses. 



Polyantha Roses 



Dwarf bushy shrubs with very double fragrant 

 flowers produced in large and profuse clusters. 

 They are often and most successfully used as hedge 

 plants or for bordering garden beds. They require 

 rather severe pruning in order to perpetuate a 

 leafy, floriferous growth. They are relatively hardy, 

 but require protection in very cold climates. 



Baby Rambler. Crimson-red ; flowers borne in great 

 profusion, in broad clusters throughout the season. 

 Forms a compact bush about 2 feet high. 



Clothilde Soupert. Ivory-white, shading towards the 

 center to silvery rose; flowers freely produced in clus- 

 ters throughout the season. A grand free -flowering 

 variety. 



Etoile d'Or. Pale yellow, changing to rosy red at the 

 center ; flowers full and very double, borne in large 

 clusters. 



Marie Pavie. Creamy white, flushed with rose, full and 

 double, borne in great profusion in broad clusters, de- 

 lightfully perfumed. 



Rambler Roses 



Remarkably vigorous and rapid-growing Roses, 

 often producing shoots 10 to 20 feet in length in a 

 single season. They are well adapted for training 

 against pillars or other supports, and produce a 

 brilliant effect by the wonderful profusion of their 

 flowers, which appear in early summer. They are 

 very hardy and thrive in any fertile soil. 



Crimson Rambler. Glowing crimson ; flowers produced 

 in great profusion, in large pyramidal trusses. A grand 

 Rose for porches or arbors, or for training on fences. 

 One of the most popular Roses of the period. 



Philadelphia Rambler. A variety of the Crimson 

 Rambler with brighter and more deeply colored, per- 

 fectly double flowers. Of exquisite form and substance, 

 and lacking the faded appearance sometimes seen in 

 the typical form. 



Pink Rambler (Psyche). Light pink, suffused with 

 salmon-rose and deeper pink, the base of the petals 

 pale yellow. Very vigorous. 



Yellow Rambler (Aglaia). Light yellow, changing to 

 straw-color. Very floriferous. The' very double flowers 

 are produced in large clusters, and continue to appear 

 for three or four weeks. 



White Rambler (Thalia). White, sometimes with faint 

 blush ; flowers profuse and very fragrant, borne in large 

 compact clusters. 



Striped Roses 



Hardy shrubs with quaint and very pretty flowers 

 that command attention wherever seen. They 

 thrive in almost any garden soil, and require very 

 little pruning. 



Cottage Maid. White, striped with rose. Very dainty. 



York and Lancaster. White, striped with red. A legend 

 associated with this Rose proclaims the blending of the 

 warring clans of York and Lancaster, who fought in 

 the historic Wars of the Roses under the insignia of 

 white and red Roses. 



Tea Roses 



Handsome free-flowering shrubs with showy and 

 delightfully fragrant flowers. They are well adapted 

 for bedding in the open ground, and thrive in any 

 good garden soil. They require protection in cold 

 climates during the winter, such as would be 

 afforded by litter, straw or evergreen boughs.

 maroon ; flowers large and double, of exquisite form 

 and fragrance. Highly recommended.

 and fragrant. The buds are very large and of superb 

 outline. One of the best. 



Bridesmaid. Clear rich pink ; flowers large and fra- 

 grant, especially beautiful in the bud. A grand bedding 

 Rose. 



Cornelia Cook. Creamy white, faintly tinged with 

 lemon-yellow : flowers very double, produced in great 

 profusion, of exquisite form and substance. Splendid 

 for bedding. 



Devoniensis. This is the Magnolia Rose of the South. 

 Creamy white with rosy center ; flowers large and 

 double, deliciously fragrant. A universal favorite. 



Etoile de Lyon. Golden yellow ; flowers very deep 

 and full, sweet-perfumed. One of the best Roses in its
