ROSA HUGONIS “The Golden Rose of China” 
The Earliest Rose 
to Bloom 
March 20, 1924. 
Am sending you, under 
separate cover, the picture 
of my Hugonis. Rose, the 
thira year after I set it out. 
This picture was made May 
IO, 1923, and when the 
Rose was in full bloom I 
picked a huge bunch for a 
sick friend and waded in 
snow 3 to 4 inches deep. © 
I think it the most wonder- 
ful Rose that ever grew. 
The longer branches were 
(or exceeded) 80 inches in 
height. It is planted on the 
southeast corner of the 
house.—Mrs. A. H., Chilli- 
cothe, Ohio. 
Mrs. HERBERT HARDE, Editor ‘Our Garden Journal,’’ New York, writes, ‘‘Beautiful 
Rosa Hugonis, a lovelier sight than you in bloom I have never, never seen.” 
You will stop enchanted on first seeing in full bloom a well-grown plant of Hugonis, 
“The Golden Rose of China.” The delicately yellow, crepe-like, fairv flowers cluster on 
both sides of every graceful cane of last year’s growth, extending to the very tips, hiding 
the foliage so that only glimpses may be seen of the tiny acacia-like leaves between the 
petals. Under the weight of dew and bloom, the branches bend in arching sprays, with 
all the informal grace of a glittering golden fountain. 
But even when the bush is out of bloom, the Rose is full of interest. The fine-cut 
foliage and reddening fruits are most attractive, and the lush new growths which keep 
coming through the summer are deeply tinged with maroon. The mind’s eye can easily 
picture them laden with their golden blossoms early the next season. 
Fall is the time to plant this hardy Rose to have it well established and ready to start 
growth vigorously in the spring. Use Hugonis as a hedge, as a specimen plant, beside 
the porch steps, on the lawn, or scattered through the shrubbery border. It grows 5 to 
6 feet high, and is charming wherever it is grown.

The Nearest Perfection in Hybrid Tea Roses Are 
RADIANCE AND RED RADIANCE 
(SEE IN NATURAL COLORS ON FRONT COVER) 
These two Roses are, without question, the most popular and by far the most depend- 
able Hybrid Teas for the amateur who wants to be sure of results. 
In hardiness, freedom of bloom, size of flowers, fragrance, and strong, upright growth, 
they are unsurpassed by any other Roses in this free-flowering class. 
Their vigorous growth enables them to resist attacks of enemies to such an extent 
that they are almost disease-proof—no small recommendation. 
You can absolutely rely on these champions, year after year, to produce a profusion 
of perfect, long-stemmed flowers for cutting and have blooms for indoors from early June 
until hard frost.
