Shrub Roses 



We group under this heading various types and species of Roses 

 that are of strong habit of growth and will be found especially 

 adapted to plant in mixed shrubbery borders, or in separate beds 

 or groupings, or as individual specimens in the garden. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Double pure white. 



Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Clear silvery rose. 



Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 



Red F.J. Grootendorst. A shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered 

 with trusses of lovely crimson Baby Roses. It is valuable to 

 plant as an isolated specimen or in a mass in a bed or in the 

 shrubbery border or may be used as an everblooming hedge. 

 Hardy, and continues to bloom until late in the fall. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the preceding 

 variety except in color which is a splendid clear pink. 



Rugosa. Large single rosy carmine. 



— alba. Large single white. 



Any oj the above: 85c each; $8.50 per doz. 



Rosa Hugonis 



Rose Species 



Rosa Hugonis. This species is most outstanding in several 

 ways. It is a splendid Rose for the shrubbery border where it 

 may be used in connection with other shrubs. The vigorous 

 upright habit makes it eminently suited to this purpose and the 

 long arching flower sprays set with delicate yellow single blooms 

 early in May present a truly charming appearance. During the 

 rest of the year it serves as a decorative shrub presenting a mass 

 of small graceful bright green foliage. 85c each; $8.50 per doz. 



Austrian Brier Roses 



A very hardy type that will give the best results with very 

 little pruning, since the flowers are produced from the upper end 

 of the old wood. This class is noted for its excellent rich tones of 

 yellow and copper. 



Austrian Copper. Bright coppery red; reverse golden yellow. 

 Harison's Yellow. Fine double golden yellow flowers. 

 Persian Yellow. Medium sized, deep yellow, double flowers. 

 Any of the three: 85c each; $8.50 per doz.

Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Trailing Roses 



Max Graf. Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will 

 be found most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is 

 far superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The fohage 

 resembles Rosa rugosa and is retained very late in the season. 

 It is practically immune to insects and diseases andis absolutely 

 hardy. The single, bright pink flowers are large and have prettily 

 crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or for traihng over 

 a stone wall, it has no equal. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 



Wichuraiana {Memorial Rose). Fragrant, single, pure white 

 flowers with yeUow stamens followed in the fall by bright red 

 hips or berries. Produces a dense mat of almost evergreen 

 foliage. 75c each; $7.50 per doz. 



Moss Roses 



A group with fragrant flowers highly valued for the Moss-like 

 sepals which give a beautiful effect to the buds. 

 Blanche Moreau. Large, pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Salet. Large, full double, light rose. 



Any of the above: 85c each; $8.50 per doz. 



Tree-Shaped Roses 



These Tree-shaped Roses are highly valued by many gardeners 

 as they add a most desirable effect to any Rose garden or border. 

 They bear their crown atop strong straight stems which are about 

 42 inches high. The effect they provide is unique either when 

 grown by themselves or incorporated in the Rose garden where 

 they serve as accent plants, breaking the uniformity of those 

 which are of bush habit.
