Out-of-the-Ordinary Roses 



*Schoener*s Nutkana. H.Spedes 



A. Schoener, Santa Barbara, Calif., 1930. Introduced, fall, 1930, by The Conard-Pyle Co. 



In general, Rose-hybridizing has been following 

 rather conventional lines, but in this new shrub Rose 

 the beginning of an entirely new race of Roses is 

 brought to light. Schoener's Nutkana is an American 

 origination, a cross of the wild species Nutkana with 

 Paul Neyron (H.P.). Nutkana is native of north- 

 western America and is the largest flowering species 

 in that section. An issue from such a parent, there- 

 fore, is not only super-hardy but truly 

 American in blood and especially 

 suited to cultivation in this country. 

 Clergymen have always been promi- 

 nent in Rose-culture, but probably 

 none in this country has made as 

 thorough a study of the science of 

 Rose-hybridization as the untiring 

 Father Schoener. His hybrid is a 

 shrub Rose, or may even be trained as 

 a pillar when the plant matures. Late 

 in May, large, single blooms and sharply pointed 

 buds, colored clear rose-pink, literally envelop the 

 plant. No other Rose of this type produces such a 

 glorious abundance of blooms. As several blossoms 

 appear in succession on each flowering stem, the 

 plants are bright with blooms during four weeks or 

 more. The canes are vigorous and upright, showing 

 no signs of dieback. Foliage is abundant and has the 

 leathery texture of Paul Neyron. Brightly colored 

 Rose-hips add color to the plants in the fall and 

 early winter. So highly do we esteem this spectac- 

 ular Rose that we've planted a great row of it 

 at 6-foot intervals in a huge semi-circle at the far 

 end of the lawn and bordering our species Rose- 

 Garden. Price, $3.50 each. 



Schoener's Nutkana 



• BIRDIE BLYE. H.MuIt. Rose-pink. Probably the most 

 persistent and abundant bloomer of any Rose we offer. A 

 Dr. Van Fleet creation which makes friends everywhere. 

 Really an everblooming shrub Rose 3 to 4 and often 5 feet 

 high. It produces a profusion of clusters of long-pointed, 

 carmine buds, which open to fragrant, rose-pink flowers. 

 Especially good in the North. $1 each. 



•NUR MAHAL. (The Light of Palaces.) H.Moschata. 

 Crimson. A vigorous, everblooming shrub Rose which can 

 also be trained on a fence or fan-shaped on a trellis. The semi- 

 double, musk-scented flowers bloom in clusters from May to 

 November. It requires little pruning. $1.50 each. 



•PROSPERITY. H.Moschata. Grows 6 to 8 feet high. 

 Hardy as an oak, it is a joy to us all summer, for the pink- 

 tinted buds and white flowers keep coming in fragrant 

 clusters all the growing season. An unusually continuous 

 semi-climber or pillar. $1.50 each. 



•HARISON'S YELLOW. Austrian Briar. See illustration. 

 Best of the old favorite golden yellow Roses. The semi- 

 double blooms come in great profusion about the middle of 

 May. Its foliage is slightly fragrant. Take out the dead 

 canes only when you prune. $1 each.
