Ramanas, or Rugosa Rose 



Hybrid = Perpetual Rose 

 "AMERICAN BEAUTY" 



We can supply this heauliiul forcing Rose, but do not re- 

 commend it for garden culture. While it is undoubtedly one 

 of the finest Roses when grown under glass under the care of 

 the specialist, it is, as a rule, worthless out of doors, except in 

 favored locations, and we only carry it in stock in the spring of 

 the year to supply customers who insist on trying it. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; |90.00 per 100. 



RAMANAS OR RVGOSA ROSES 



These lovely Roses form sturdy bushes 3 to 5 feet in height, 

 covered with handsome glossy green foliage and clusters of 

 beautiful fragrant single 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 sin- 

 gle specimens or for making a hedge. Rugosa Roses require 

 no pruning, merely cut out dead and superfluous wood. 

 Rugosa. Rosy-carmine. 

 Extra strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts.,each; $60.00 per 100.

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; they are of strong, vigorous growth, flowering 

 profusely in early summer and producing some bloom 

 during the late summer and fall; a most distinct and 

 interesting class. These should be pruned in the same 

 way as the Hybrid Perpetuals, described on page 128. 

 Beaute de Lyon. Forms a large, globular flower 

 of splendid shape, of a coral-red color shaded with 

 yellow. 

 Juliet. Outside of petals old gold, interior rich rosy- 

 red changing to deep rose as the flowers expand; of 

 delicious fragrance. 

 Price. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



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.

white.
