Some Special Roses 
THE SWEETHEART ROSE (Cecile Brunner) Remember 
this one? Many people ask for it still, and we have it again 
for them. It’s a famous old rose, the one to which others are 
compared when referred to as “sweetheart type’’ roses. 
Long buds and small, double flowers are pink. $1.75 ea.3 
3 or more, $1.55 ea.; 25 or more, $1.40 ea. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI A Hybrid Perpetual rose 
which we introduced back near the turn of the century, and 
famed all those years for its huge, double white flowers. 
These open from pointed buds tinged with carmine-pink. 
The tall-growing bush is extremely vigorous, has very dark 
foliage and is attractive. $1.75 ea.; 3 or more, $1.55 ea. 
I would like to give you here a few facts about Hedge Roses 
in general—what kinds are good and what are not so good for 
use around the home—and to suggest some ways in which 
you can use them to advantage. 
A good hedge rose with which to make a friendly fence or 
border should have these qualities . . . vigor, disease-resist- 
ance, long flowering season, balanced growth habit, attrac- 
tive foliage and ability to thrive with minimum care. The 
kinds of roses which, in my opinion, best fit these qualifica- 
tions are The Fairy, Red Glory and Robin Hood (not to be 
confused with Red Robin). I would add also many of the 
Floribunda roses, especially Fire King and Circus, for use 
as low-growing hedges. A hedge is, after all, only a series of 
individual, shrub-like plants growing in a row—so the Flori- 
bundas with good proportion and bushiness do make good 
low hedges. 
The kinds I’ve just mentioned plus the Floribundas are ideal

THE SWEETHEART ROSE 
Good Roses for HEDGES... 
and Friendly Fenees

for you if you have a small property in a small town or sub- 
urban area. There are several other kinds on the market 
which I think should be avoided because although they have 
some good points they have serious defects. Some of these 
kinds are extensively advertised for hedges and fences, but 
we do not carry them because we consider them undesirable 
for the average home. 
People with small properties should not plant common multi- 
flora either. This is ideal for farmers who want a thick, tall 
barrier for pastureland. 
As to use-ideas for friendly fences, consider Red Glory, Robin 
Hood, The Fairy and the Floribundas as property-line plant- 
ings, or along walks and driveways, or to fence in a play yard, 
or to screen unsightly areas. Remember, too, that these roses 
can also be used as shrubs planted alone or in groups for 
massed color effects.
