New Hybrid Perpetual Rose, Mme. Albert Barbier 



New Hybrid-Perpetual Rose 

 Mme. Albert Barbier 



(Barbier Bros. 1925) 



A noteworthy novelty which we offered in a limited 

 way for the first time last season, and from which we 

 have had most gratifying reports of results obtained 

 during the past summer. 



It has been some years since we had the pleasure of 

 offering a new Rose in this class, in fact, the hybridizers 

 of the Rose world seem to have devoted their studies 

 and energies entirely to other types, particularly to 

 Hybrid-Tea and Pernetiana hybrids and when the 

 originators sent us this variety for trial, we did not 

 realize what a pleasant surprise was in store for us. 



The seed parent of this beautiful Rose is the inter- 

 national favorite, Frau Karl Druschki, and possessing 

 similar vigor and sturdiness, but of dwarfer more com- 

 pact habit, naturally forming a shapely bush of free 

 flowering qualities, in this respect surpassing all other 

 Hybrid-Perpetual Roses, yes, equaling, and even sur- 

 passing many of the popidar Hybrid-Tea varieties in 

 profuse blooming habit. 



The large flowers are of beautiful imbricated form 

 with long perfect buds developing into well-formed, 

 full, double flowers of a pearly white suffused with a 

 soft flesh pink, intensified and illuminated by the 

 golden apricot centre and base of the petals. Strong 

 two-year-old plants. $1.50 each. 



American Beauty. Rich dark carmine, a beautiful Rose 

 under favorable conditions, large, globular fragrant flowers. 



Anna de Diesbach. 



large size. 



Bright carmine-rose, a beautiful Rose of 



Baroness Rothschild. A superb Rose, of pale, satiny-rose;

Captain Christy. Delicate flesh-pink deepening towards the 

 centre, double, weU-shaped, fragrant flowers. 



Clio. Delightful satiny-flesh with deep centre; the flowers are 

 large, globular and borne on long stems. 



Frau Karl Druschki. This is the ideal hardy white Rose, 

 pure in color, perfect in form, strong grower and remarkably 

 free-flowering; superb in every way. 



General Jacqueminot. Brilliant scarlet-crimson; an old 

 favorite and one of the best known Roses in cultivation; does 

 well everywhere. 



Price. Extra strong two-year-old plants, of the above, SlOO each; Sll-OO per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 

 One each of the 16 varieties for $14.50. 



Sixteen Best Hardy Garden 



HYBRID-PERPETUAL ROSES 



The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best that can be selected in the Hybrid-Perpetual class, which, before the develop- 

 ment of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most popular type for garden planting, and even now they dare not be overlooked, but should be used 

 extensively in conjunction with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the Hybrid-Tea varieties has not been 

 established. The collection here offered embraces as complete a range of colors as it is possible to bring together in such a number of plants 

 with freedom of flowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and general excellence. 



In pruning Hybrid-Perpetuals cut away aU weak growths, and if quality of bloom is desired, cut back the strong canes to within 

 8 or 9 inches of the ground, but if quantity of bloom for garden effect is desired, leave these canes from 2 to 3 feet high, according to their 

 strength. 



George Arends, or Pink Frau Karl Druschki. This is a 

 pink, or rather a tender rose-colored form of the popular white 

 Frau Karl Druschki, possessing not only the exqmsite form, large 

 size, and remarkable free-flowering habits of its parent, but in 

 addition to this, it is also highly perfumed, a Rose worthy of 

 a place in every garden. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau. Very large, full globular 

 flowers of brilliant vermilion red, with velvety shadings. 



Magna Charta. Bright pink, suffused with carmine; a beauti- 

 ful Rose, and a strong vigorous grower; one of the best. 



Mrs. John Laing. Soft pink of beautiful form; exceedingly 

 fragrant and remarkably free-flowering; always does well and 

 stands very close to the top among fine Roses. 



Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford. Deep rosy pink, outer 

 petals shaded with flesh, one of the freest bloomers and a splendid 

 Rose in every respect. 



Paul Neyron. Dark rose of enormous size; perhaps the largest 

 of aU 



Prince Camille de Rohan. Deep velvety crimson-maroon; 

 shaded scarlet; a magnificent dark Rose. 



Ulrich Brunner. A bright cherry-red; flower large and full;
