Makes a lovely informal hedge

•Rosa Hugonis, "The Golden Rose of China" 



• ROSA HUGONIS, "The Golden Rose of China." 



Species. See illustration. The aristocrat of hardy 

 flowering hedge plants. The extreme hardiness of this 

 "Golden Rose of China," its habit of blooming early 

 in May, and the long wands of fairy-like blossoms, all go 

 to make Hugonis one of the most valued shrub Roses. 

 The graceful, arching branches are completely covered 

 with bloom to the very tips in early May. This beauti- 

 ful shrub Rose, with its dainty foliage and graceful 

 growth, makes a distinctive and almost impenetrable 

 hedge. Plant 15 inches apart. Requires no attention, 

 and blooms best when planted in unfertilized soil. 75 cts. 

 each, 6 for $3.75. Write for quantity prices.

SEE ILLUSTRATION ABOVE; ALSO PAGE 23 



Probably one of the old Lawranceana Roses popular a 



century or more ago. After being lost to cultivation for 



many years, a plant was found growing in an Alpine 



window-garden by M. Correvon, the French rock-garden 



authority, just a few years ago. It is rapidly 



attaining popularity as a rock-garden "gem" 



and as an edging plant in front of Rose-beds. 



See edging illustration, page 23. The plant 



grows about 6 inches tall in bushy form, is 



healthy and hardy and blooms from early 



summer until frost. The tiny, rose-pink, quite 



double flowers are less than an inch in diameter. 



A real little treasure. 3-inch pot-plants, 75 cts. 



each; 4-inch pot-plants, $1.25 each. 



•POMPON DE ST. FRANCOIS. A dwarf Rose of 

 unknown parentage, probably a Gallica. The 12 -inch 

 plants are very bushy, w T ith tiny white flowers that bloom 

 profusely in June. 75 cts. each. 



•GOLDEN MOSS. H. Moss. (P. Dot, 1932.) B^ff- 

 yellow. See illustration. Here is one of the rarest Rose- 

 treats of all time — a yellow Moss Rose, the first one ever 

 produced. Fat pinkish buds open a rich golden buff with a 

 pinkish tint and age to cream-white. The flowers are about 

 3 inches in diameter, fully double, and twice fragrant — the 

 corolla has a delicious Rose perfume which is almost hidden 

 under the pungent scent of the mossy calyx. Can be used 

 as a pillar (mature plants will make 8-foot canes), or if 

 trimmed will make a shapely bush, 4 feet high and as much 

 through. $1.50 each.
