Henderson's Famous ROSES Are All Pot-Grown 



We Ship Them Already Growing to All Parts of the U. S. 



We do not sell dormant foreign Rose bushes such as are offered for sale by Depart- 

 ment Stores and others. These dormant plants are grafted on wild briar stocks, and 

 are both unreliable and unsatisfactory, possibly not ten per cent, of them grow. 



Roses are Our Leading Specialty and the greater part of our 4J^ acres of glass 

 structures at Arlington Ave., Jersey City, N. J., is devoted to the growing of Roses. 

 Here under the direction of experts who have had life-long experience we raise 

 annually hundreds of thousands of vigorous, healthy Rose plants, which we ship 

 already growing, and with leaves fully developed, to purchasers in all parts of the 

 United States. 



"The Roses came yesterday in 

 fine condition. The quality was 

 fine, and the packing splendid. 

 You deserve great credit for your 

 correct business methods. Set 

 me down for a life-long custom- 

 er." JOHN E. ENNIS, 



Hendersonville, N. C. 

 June 12th, 1915. 



"Roses bought from you last 

 spring are doing very well and 

 have given the greatest satisfac- 

 tion. The Tea Roses draw the 

 admiration of all visitors to 

 Rosemount, my summer home." 

 M. A. KEIFER, 

 Uniontown, Pa. 

 July 19th, 1915. 



"I bought a collection of Roses 

 from you last season and was 

 more than pleased with the 

 results. It was simply wonder- 

 ful to have suck beautiful Roses 

 and they bloomed continuously 

 until frost came."

"Please accept my thanks for 

 the fine Rose bushes you sent me. 

 They were fifty per cent, better 

 than I expected, and you surely 

 were very generous with the 

 extras. Your shipment was one 

 big surprise, and I shall recom- 

 mend your stock to all my 

 J riends."

The Imperishable Collection 



OF 12 HARDY ROSES 



The twelve Hybrid Perpetual Roses named below are unequaled 



In their class, combining the greatest variety of form, richness of 



color, and freedom of bloom, which it is possible to get in that 



number. The first and second sizes should bloom this year, and 



the third next year. 



Anna de Diesbach. Rich carmine. A grand Rose. This fine 

 variety is most useful either for garden purposes or for grow- 

 ing in pots in greenhouses. Very free-blooming; fine long 

 _ stems, so that it is very well adapted for cutting in summer. 



Clio. A very vigorous grower; has large, handsome foliage. The 

 color is delicate satin-blush, with a light shading of rosy-pink 

 at the center. 



Dinsmore. A splendid bedding Rose, as free-blooming as the 

 "Monthly"; dwarf branching habit. Dazzling scarlet- 

 crimson; full and double; rich, spicy fragrance. 



Frau Karl Druschki. The most beautiful and largest snow- 

 white Rose now before the public. The flowers are 4 to 5 

 inches across; perfectly double and delightfully fragrant with 

 large thick petals; a healthy, vigorous grower, entirely 

 hardy, and a constant and abundant bloomer. 



Gen. Jacqueminot. The most popular hardy crimson Rose ever 

 introduced. It is a strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy; 

 an early and abundant bloomer. Its brilliant crimson is 

 the standard of color by which other Roses are judged; 

 flowers full and fragrant, popularly called the "Jack" Rose. 



Hugh Dickson. A rich, deep crimson, shaded scarlet; interme- 

 diate tones added give a brilliant effect. An exceptionally 

 fine red Rose. Rich and spicy fragrance; a vigorous grower 

 and free bloomer. 



Jubilee. The grandest hardy dark red Rose yet offered. The 

 flowers are very large, the fragrance strong and spicy. The 

 color is pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson- 

 red with the darkest velvety-maroon in the depths of the 

 flowers. 



La France. Peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silver-rose. 

 The flowers are large and beautiful either in the bud form or 

 when fully expanded. It is very free-blooming, every shoot 

 forming a beautiful flower and most deliciously fragrant. 



Magna Charta. This fine hardy Rose is distinguished alike for 

 its vigorous, healthy constitution, freedom of bloom and 

 handsome foliage. Flowers bright, deep pink; very large 

 and fragrant. A popular Rose. 



Mrs. John Laing. Rich satiny-pink, large and full; delicious 

 fragrance. This fine variety cannot be too highly praised. 

 For freedom of bloom it is unsurpassed in its class. 



Paul Neyron. Probably the largest of all Roses. Color, clear, 

 dark pink shaded carmine. Form of flowers, bold and hand- 

 some; very fragrant. 



Ulrich Brunner. A beautiful hardy Rose in flower and foliage. 

 The former is large and cupped; bright cherry-red, and very 

 fragrant. Long flower stalks almost devoid of thorns.

A SELECTED LIST OF 



Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



The Hybrid Perpetual Roses are commonly known as "June 

 Roses." They are distinguished for their large flowers, richness 

 of coloring, delightful, spicy fragrance and above all for their 

 hardiness, being capable of resisting frost which would destroy 

 most of the ever-blooming Roses. For this reason they are 

 largely planted in the North. While the main crop of flowers 

 is borne in early summer, blooms also are produced late in the 

 season. See also Imperishable Collection on this page. 

 Alfred Colomb. Carmine-crimson. A grand Rose in every way. 



Unexcelled in habit and profusion of bloom. 

 Baron de Bonstetten. Blackish crimson, vivid red shadings. 



Considered by many to be the finest dark crimson Rose. 

 Baroness Rothschild. Exquisite shade of satiny-pink. A 



beautiful variety. 

 *Black Prince. One of the finest Roses of its class. The color 



is dark velvety crimson passing to intense maroon and 



shaded black.

white and carmine. A pretty and novel variety. 

 ♦Captain Hayward. Bright scarlet. Outer petals finely reflexed, 



while the center petals stand up well. 

 *Conrad F. Meyer. The color is a pure silvery-pink. Its 



beautiful foliage alone would recommend it as an ornamental 



shrub for the garden. For a flowering hedge it should take 



first rank. 

 *Coquette des Alps. One of the best and freest-blooming of the 



hardy white Roses, occasionally shows blush when opening. 

 Eugene Furst. A grand Rose, fiery-red; flowers large and double. 

 *Francois Levet. A profuse bloomer. The flowers are large, 



double and deep rosy-red, the shade known as "cherry-rose."

grand flowers.
