*Schoener’s Nutkana. wuspecies 
Rev. George M. A. Schoener, Santa Barbara, Calif., 1930. Intro- 
duced, 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 northwestern America and is the larg- 
est flowering species in that section. An 
issue from such a parent, therefore, is 
not only super-hardy but truly American 
in blood and especially suited to cultiva- 
tion 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 hy- 
brid 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 sev- 
eral blossoms appear in succession on each flowering stem, 
the plantsare bright with blooms during four weeks or more. 
Thecanes are vigorous and upright, showing no signs of die- 
a back. Foliage is abundant and has the leathery tex- 
: 3 ture of Paul Neyron. Brightly colored Rose-hips 
aS add color to the plants in the fall and early winter. 
J Give this Rose a place of honor on your lawn.
