• BABY TAUSENDSCHON or THOUSAND BEAUTIES 



(Louise Walter). Flowers deep pink to white, same as with 



climbing Tausendschon. A continuous bloomer and a fine 



edging for Rose-beds.

in form. Color is soft, tender, attractive pink. The plant is 



more vigorous in growth than most other polyanthas. 

 •EDITH CAVELL. Color brilliant scarlet, overlaid with deep, 



velvety crimson or maroon. The blooms are single and come 



in great open clusters all season. The most attractive red 



Polyantha Rose in existence.

Rambler type of Polyantha Roses. Color is brilliant pink. 



It is very floriferous and sweetly scented. 



• ERNA TESCHENDORFF. Flowers glistening dark red, of 



same type as Red Baby Rambler, but much brighter in 

 color. Very effective when massed. A Rose you can depend 

 on for bright bloom continuously from June until frost. 



•LAFAYETTE (Joseph Guy). (New.) This Rose is, without 

 question, one of the finest introductions in the Polyantha 

 class in recent years. See description and price, page 1 1. 



•ORLEANS ROSE. Color is brilliant red, suffused with rose, 

 and center white. The flowers come in great trusses and 

 make a fine showing all summer. This Rose when massed in 

 solid beds or along borders is very fine and the color 

 has the effect of rich, glowing pink. Awarded a gold 

 " medal. 



•MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER (Sweetheart). No 

 Polyantha Rose in commerce can surpass this exquisite 

 variety, with its sprays of rich, rosy pink baby buds, 

 which open into lovely, perfectly double, miniature 

 flowers of seashell-pink. From a row pr bed of this 

 Rose you can have flowers all season for bouquets or 

 boutonnieres. It is intensely fragrant. (See cut.) 



Large- Flowering Tea Polyantha 



• GRUSS AN AACHEN. An unusual and distinctive 



Rose that we recommend highly to anyone desiring a 

 hardy, free-flowering variety; fully double to the 

 center, large flowers and a charming mixture of colors 

 which are flesh-pink, overlaid with yellow and shading 

 to deep pink at the base of the broad firm petals. A 

 charming Rose in every way. 



Planting in Solid Beds ( See Be ^ es ) 

 You cannot resist being enthusiastic over this splendid class 

 of Roses for they surpass all others in the quantity of bloom they 

 produce. Being perfectly hardy, low in growth and continuous 

 bloomers, they are taking the place of geraniums, for once planted 

 they are there to stay and increase in beauty yearly. 



In this class are different varieties of Polyanthas, such as the 

 Baby Ramblers, the small-flowered or standard Polyanthas, and 

 the larger-flowered kinds, such as Ellen Poulsen, Baby Doll and 

 the new Lafayette. All are suitable for bordering paths where a 

 continuous show of bloom is desired. Keep the dead flowers cut 

 off and encourage fresh bloom. Polyantha Roses are quite hardy 

 and bloom unceasingly all summer and until frost. 



Finest Displays Result from Mass Planting 



OF EACH OF THE FIVE DIFFERENT COLORS 



•RED BABY RAMBLER (Mme. Norhert Levavasseur). 



Grows 1 8 to 24 inches. Flowers are borne in clusters of 20, 30, 

 or more, resembling the Climbing Crimson Rambler. This 

 and the Pink and White Baby Ramblers keep up a con- 

 tinuous show of bloom all summer and until frost. They 

 are fine for bordering driveways, etc. 



•PINK BABY RAMBLER (Baby Dorothy, or Maman 

 Levavasseur). Beautiful bright pink. Blooms in masses, 

 like the climbing Dorothy Perkins Rose as shown on page 31. 

 An entire bed of Pink Baby Ramblers will make a delightful 

 showing all summer and until late fall. It is very attractive 

 also when used as an edging for walks. 



•WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Katharina Zeimet). Each 

 branch bears from 15 to 50 little creamy white flowers. Note 

 the quantity of bloom shown in illustration at top of page. 



•TIP- TOP ("Baby Doll). This is a "true tricolor" Rose and the 

 most unique variety in this class. It contains shades of old 

 gold, lavender, pink and tinted white, a bewitching combina- 

 tion. The buds are most exquisite, showing rich yellow with 

 pink tips and the plant blooms continuously. It grows only 

 15 to 18 inches high. A dainty, delightful little Rose. 



• GEORGE ELGER. Blooms continuously with quantities of 

 double, golden yellow flowers, which open to clear yellow. 

 Much the best of its color in the Polyantha Roses.
