LORD PENZANCE'S 

 HYBRID SWEET BRIER ROSES 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet Brier and vari- 

 ous 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 astonish- 

 ing. 



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 Qerstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Jeannie Deans. Large semi-double scarlet-crimson. 



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. 



Lucy Ashton. White-tinted pink on the edges. 



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

 habit, large foliage; one of the best. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.25 each. Set of one each of the six 



varieties for $6.00. 



memorial, or Evergreen Roses 



The type of this group of Roses, Hosa Vi'ichnraiana, is of 

 Japanese origin, and flowers during June and July. This, as 

 well as the varieties that have originated from it, 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 any where 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 re- 

 tained on the plants until late in the winter, making them almost 

 evergreen. Pruning should be done in the same way as recom- 

 mended lor the Hardy Climbing sorts. (See page 132.) 

 Evergreen Qem. Flowers buff, changing to creamy whiter 



very double, foliage dense, of rich bronzy-green. 

 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. 



South Orange Perfection. Dwarf trailing habit, double 

 flowers, blush pink at tips, changing to white. 



Triumph. Double white flowers, produced in clusters; sweet 



scented. 

 Universal Favorite. Flowers very double, of a pretty rose 



color. 

 Wichuraiana. Beautiful fragrant single pure white Cowers, 

 %vith yellow stamens followed in fall with bright red hips or 

 berries. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 75fts. each; $60.00 per 100. 

 Set of 6 sorts, $3.75.
