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.

— Alba. Single pure white.

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



Price. Any of the above varieties, 75 cts. each; S7.50 per doz; $60.00 

 per 100. 



New 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 continues in bloom until late in the fall. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Presumed to be a cross between Rosa Rugosa and Setigera, with 

 large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the pink form 

 of Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to its 

 attractiveness. It makes an excellent climber or piUar Rose, but 

 it appeals to us more particularly as a ground cover, for which 

 purpose it is superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The 



Tr.\iling Rose, Max Graf 



Ramanas or Rugosa Rosb 



foliage resembling Rosa Rugosa, is retained very late in the season 

 and is practically immune to mildew, black spot and insects, and 

 is perfectly hardy. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing 

 over a stone wall it has no equal. 



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

 per 100. 



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.

These are not hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia, except in 

 favored positions, or with protection; especially adapted to cov- 

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

 South. 

 Climbing Mrs. Herbert Stevens. Beautifully formed buds 



of a paper white color, delightfully tea scented. Two-year-old 



plants, $1.50 cacli.

shadings; a fine climber for a sheltered wall.

 cts. each.
