Hybrid-Perpetual Rose 



"AMERICAN BEAUTY" 



We can supply this beautiful Jorcinz Rose, but do not recom- 

 mend it for garden culture. While it is undoubtedly one of the 

 finest Roses when grown under glass under the care of the specialist, 

 it is, as a rule, worthless out of doors, except in favored locations, 

 and we only carry it in stock in the spring of the year to supply 

 customers who insist on trying it. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 $1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 



Old Favorite Bourbon Rose 



"HERMOSA" 



This old favorite has still many friends on account of the free- 

 dom with which its medium sized, bright pink flowers are pro- 

 duced, it rarely being out of bloom from early June until hard 

 frost in the late autumn. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Roses 



These lovely Roses form sturdy bushes 4 to 6 feet in height, cov- 

 ered with handsome crinkled flowers. They bloom nearly the 

 whole summer, and are equally as attractive during the autumn 

 and winter when covered with their large, brilliant red seedpods. 

 Of healthy, vigorous growth and equally desirable alike as single 

 specimens, particularly among shrubs or for making a hedge. 

 Rugosa Roses require no pruning, merely cut out dead and super- 

 fluous wood. 



Rugosa. Single rosy-carmine. 



— Alba. Single pure white. 



Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Large double clear silvery rose, 

 beautiful buds. 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Fine double pure white. 



Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 



Sir Thomas Lip ton. Exceptionally strong grower with very 

 large double white flowers. 



NovaZembla. A hybrid variety; the double flowers are large, of 

 fine form, white, with a pleasing flush of pink. 



Price. Any of the above varieties, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 

 $60.00 per 100. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Rose 



Hybrid Rugosa Rose 

 F. J. Grootendorst 



This is a new type of Rose, which might properly be called a 

 Rugosa Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the 

 crimson Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose 

 covered with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will 

 have a fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a Rose 

 that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or among shrubs in the 

 shrubbery border or use it for an everblooming hedge for which 

 purpose it is admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and con- 

 tinues in bloom until late in the fall. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 



per 100. 



TENDER AND CLIMBING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



While not as a rule as free flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of beautiful 

 flowers in June, with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. The tender sorts are not hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia, 

 except in favored positions, or with protection; especially adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for outdoor culture in the 

 South. 



Black Boy. An Australian introduction where it has become a 

 great favorite; a sweet scented large fiery scarlet overlaid with 

 blackish maroon. $1.50 each. 



Climbing Caroline Testout. Combines all the good points 

 of the popular pink bush Rose in climbing form. 



Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Beautifully shaped buds of 

 large size, of a rich dazzling scarlet. 



Climbing H. V. Machin. A counterpart of the rich scarlet 

 bush variety, but of very strong climbing habit. 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climbing Hy- 

 brid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 

 Nursery, with very little protection, has withstood many winters, 

 producing not only an immense crop of its very large soft rose- 

 colored flowers in June, but continuing to bloom almost without 

 intermission until the end of the season.
