TWO SPLENDID SETS FOR THE NORTH 
We realize that great numbers of people who live in the northern states think that they cannot grow 
Roses on account of the severe winters; but Roses can be grown in any climate, provided the right kinds 
are planted, and we have listed below twenty sturdy, vigorous kinds, most of them deliciously fragrant and 
all of them free bloomers when they become established. Try both sets. 
THESE NEED NO PROTECTION 
The Roses in this set will grow and bloom profusely in the coldest 
climate and need no winter protection, though some protection will 
help the plants to bloom better the next summer. These are not 
bedding Roses, and if planted together, should be at least from 24% 
to 4 feet apart.

PROTECT THESE FOR WINTER 
The hardiest of the everblooming Roses are listed here, and all 
should live through the most severe winters if protected as follows: 
Before frost, hill the earth around the plants to about 8 or 9 inches 
on the stems. When frozen, cover with strawy manure or leaves, 
about 6 inches thick, and on top of all place a little roof by nailing 
boards together in this way A. This sheds the rains and prevents 
moisture collecting around the plants. 
BABY RAMBLER. Bright crimson; flowers are borne in clusters; 
blooms unceasingly. 
BLUMENSCHMIDT. Citron-yellow; fragrant. See cut, page 20. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Dainty rose-pink flowers; greatly in demand 
for bouquets; fragrant. See cut, page 23. 
GRUSS AN AACHEN. Filesh-pink, shading to salmon-pink in 
the center of the flower. A superb Rose. 
HELEN GOULD. Rich crimson; very sweet. 
HERMOSA. Clear, bright pink. See cut, page 24. 
LA TOSCA. An exquisite flower; soft pink, passing to tender rose.

firm flowers. See cut, page 19.

growing, abundant-blooming Roses we know; rich carmine-red.
