NE^V 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, 

 rigorous growth, flowering profusely in early summer and produc- 

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

 ind interesting class. 



Juliet ( Win. Paul d; So>i, 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 are old gold, the interior 

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

 powerful, delicious fragrance; greatly admired. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



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

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

 with glossy foliage, which appears immune to the attacks of 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 one-year-old plants, 

 $1.00 each. 



>Oleil 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,

AUSTRIAN, OR YEI.L01!V 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 

 »nd 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. 

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

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

 $35.00 per 100. 



Lord Pemzance's Hybrid Swpet Briers. 



NEIV HVBRID SWEET BRIER 

 « REFUEGENCE." 



A great advance both in size of bloom and brilliancy of color- 

 ing. The flowers when fully expanded measure about 3J inches 

 in diameter. In opening the color is a dazzling scarlet, which 

 changes to bright crimson as they develop. The rich array of 

 golden stamens in the centre of the semi-double flowers forms a 

 striking contrast to the gorgeous coloring of the petals. The 

 flowers are produced in large bouquet-like clusters of 15 to 20, 

 The foliage has the delicious Sweet-Brier fragrance. Strong 



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



LORD PENZANCE'S HVBRID SWEET BRIERS. 



A correspondent of "Gardening" says of this class: "My collection ol 

 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 atmosphere was 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 between 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 account should they be pruned beyond removing whatever branches 

 are undesirable to keep. If pruned back like ordinary Roses they produce 

 vei7 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 advan- 

 tage 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 grace 

 fully and naturally. 



Anne of Gierstein. Dark crimson, of gr-.icefu! habit. 

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



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. 

 Common Sweet Brier. This is the true English Sweet Brier, or Eg- 

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

 on account of the refreshing fragrance of its leaves. 

 Extra strong two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. Set of 6 

 Austrian, or Ykllow Brirk Roses. sorts, $2.00.
