NEW PERNETIANA ROSES, 



or Hybrid Austrian Briers. 



A new type of Roses, the result of crossing Austrian Copper and 

 Yellow Brier Roses with various other types; all are of strong, 

 vigorous growth, flowering profusely in early summer and produc- 

 ing some bloom during the late summer and fall; a most distinct 

 and interesting class. 



Juliet ( Wm. Paul & Son, 1910). This beautiful variety has 

 attracted great attention in England during the past two seasons, 

 and when better known is certain to become as popular with us. 

 It is a most distinct and attractive novelty, with large, perfect 

 flowers. The outside of the petals is old gold, the interior 

 rich rosy-red changing to deep rose as the flowers expand; of 

 powerful, delicious fragrance; greatly admired. Strong two- 

 vear-old plants, 50 cts. each. 

 Rayon d'Or, or Golden Rays (Pernet Ducher, 1910). A 

 gorgeous new golden-yellow Rose. A vigorous, strong grower, 

 with glossy foliage, which appears immune to the attacksot mil- 

 dew. Flowers large, of globular form, color yellow cadmium 

 as the buds begin to expand, toning to golden-yellow as they 

 fully develop; a superb Rose. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 75 cts. each. 

 Soleil d'Or, Or Golden Sun. Varies from orange-yellow to 

 reddish gold, shaded with Nasturtium-red; large, full, perfectly 

 double flowers; a strong grower. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. ; §35.00 per 100. 

 One each of the 3 varieties for $1.50. 



Austrian, or Yellow Brier Roses. 



A very hardy type, producing medium-sized flowers of the most 

 pleasing and rich shades of yellow, copper, etc. As this class of 

 Rose produces its flowers from the tips of the previous season's 

 growth, they must not be pruned; simply cut out superfluous 

 and dead wood. They are especially useful to plant in the 

 shrub border. 



Austrian Copper. Beautiful bright reddish-copper; single. 

 Austrian Yellow. Very deep yellow; single; beautiful. 



Lord Penzance's Hybrid Sweet Brier 



Harrison's Yellow. Fine double golden-yellow flowers. 

 Persian Yellow. Large, deep golden-yellow; extra fine. 

 Stiong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



LORD PENZANCE'S HVBRID SWEET BRIERS. 



A correspondent of "Gardening" says of this class: "My collection of these beautiful hybrid Roses bloomed finely this season. 

 The flowers are large and clear in color, and single or semi -double. In the part of my grounds where they are grown the atmos- 

 phere wa.i heavy with the delicious scent of the Sweet Briers. They are strong, vigorous growers, throwing long, graceful branches 



which are wreathed with flowers. These lovely hybrids are crosses be- 

 tween the common Sweet Brier and various other Roses, and, like their 

 parent, the foliage is deliciously scented. The flowers are of the most 

 beautiful tints, and produced in great profusion, and the plants are perfectly 

 hardy, and possess a robust vigor which is quite astonishing. On no ac- 

 count should they be pruned beyond removing whatever branches are un- 

 desirable to keep. If pruned back like ordinary Roses they produce very 

 few blossoms. Give each plant a 4 to 6 foot long stake and tie up some of 

 the leading shoots to it. These Briers are seen to best advantage when 

 isolated on the lawn, or if grouped set far enough apart to allow of each 

 plant having unrestricted freedom and its branches to hang gracefully and 

 naturally. 



Anne of Giersteill. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Brenda. Maiden's blush or peach, dainty in color and shade; the effect 



of the golden anthers adds a peculiar charm. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a metallic lustre; 

 the base of each petal is a bright yellow, which, showing through the 

 golden anthers, forms a halo round them; very free-flowering, with a 

 delicious perfume from foliage and flower. 

 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. 

 Meg Merrilies. Gorgeous crimson, very free -flowering, wonderfully 



robust habit, large foliage; one of the best. 

 Refulgence. Semi-double flowers, 3£ inches across; on lit^t opening a 

 dazzling scarlet, changing to bright crimson as they develop, intensified 

 by the golden stamens. 

 Common Sweet Brier. This is the true English wweet Brier, or 1 

 lantine. The single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is valued most 

 on account of the refreshing fragrance of its leaves. -10 cts. each; $4.00 

 per doz. 

 Price. Except where noted, in extra stron & ,wo-year-oid piants, 50 cts. 

 Austrian, ok Yellow Brier Roses. each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts, $2.75.
