NEW HYBRID RUGOSA ROSE 

 F. J. Groo tenders t 



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 continues in bloom 

 until late in the fall. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $75.00 per 100. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Rose 



MOSS ROSES 



The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy 

 covering which surrounds the buds, and gives the opening flowers a 

 unique appearance. Moss Roses should be pruned sparingly; 

 cut out the old wood and merely cut back the growth of last year. 



Blanche Moreau. Large pure white. 



Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 



Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 



Princess Adelaide. Bright silvery rose, large. 



Salet. Large, full double, light rose.

 ering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for outdoor culture in the
