Hybrid Sweet Briers 



Memorial or Evergreen Roses 



This group of Roses, Rosa Wichuraiaria. are of a trailing habit of 

 growth, very hardy, and are recommended for covering graves, 

 hence one of its names — Memorial Rose — climbing over walls, 

 arbors, stumps of trees, or for trailing over rocks or rough ground, 

 in fact, anywhere where a climbing or trailing Rose can be used. 

 The foliage is of a leathery texture, of a beautiful shining green, 

 and not only proof against all insects, but is retained on the plants 

 until late in the winter, making them almost evergreen. 

 Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of a 



cream color; incurving towards evening to the shape and color 



of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 

 Wichuraiana. Beautiful fragrant single pure white flowers, with 



yellow stamens followed in fall with bright red hips or berries.

 they produce should find a place for them in every garden.

 81.00 each; $11.00 per doz. 



Rosa Moyesi

 but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with attractive, brilliant, single, deep blood- 

 red flowers, in June. $1.25 each. 



Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 

 Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is 

 deliciously scented. Perfectly hardy. 



For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses; furnish them 

 with a stake or pole 5 to 6 feet high, tying the main shoots to this 

 and allowing the laterals to develop and ramble at pleasure. 

 Treated in this way and without pruning, beyond cutting out dead 

 and superfluous branches, they will produce an abundance of 

 lovely single or semi-double flowers with a beauty all their own. 

 Amy Robsart. Splendid deep rose color. 

 Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 



lustre, the base of each petal is yellow. 

 Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 



lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 



pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 

 Common Sweet Briar. This is the true English Sweet Briar 



or Eglantine, the single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is 



valued most on account of the refreshing fragrance of its foliage. 



SI .00 each. 

 Price. Strong two-year-old plants, except where noted, $1.50 



each. 



Rosa Hugonis 



This species, recently introduced from China, is unlike any other 

 Rose. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms 

 symmetrical bushes about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, 

 and while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable 

 subject when planted in connection with other shrubs or as single 

 specimens in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 

 sprays early in May, every branch of the previous season's growth 

 becomes lined on both sides to the very tips with these attractive 

 flowers, and after it has finished flowering it remains an attractive 

 decorative bush for the balance of the season; perfectly hardy. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.25 each.
