POTTED ROSES 
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. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Clear silvery rose. 
Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 
Red F. J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with 
trusses of lovely crimson Baby Roses and you will have a fair conception 
of this fine hybrid variety. 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 ever- 
blooming hedge. Hardy, and continues in 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. 
— alba. 
Dreet’s 
Double pure white. 
Large single rosy carmine. 
Large single white. 
Any of the above: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 
Rosa Hugonis 
Rose Species 
Rosa Hugonis. A splendid Rose for the shrubbery border with 
delicate yellow single flowers produced on long arching sprays 
early in May. After it has finished flowering it remains an attrac- 
tive decorative bush for the balance of the season; perfectly 
hardy. 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 
Rosa Xanthina. Double bright yellow flowers about two inches 
across. It is a strong grower which is at home in Turkestan 
and Afghanistan. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 
Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 
luster. The base of each petal is yellow. 
Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 
lemon yellow in the center, sometimes toned delicate pink. 
Either of the above: $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 
Austrian Brier Roses 
Austrian Copper. Bright coppery red; reverse golden yellow. 
Harison’s Yellow. Fine double golden yellow flowers. 
Persian Yellow. Medium sized, deep yellow, double flowers. 
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 foliage 
resembles Rosa Rugosa and is retained very late in the season. 
It is practically immune to insects and diseases and is absolutely 
hardy. The single, bright pink flowers are large and have prettily 
crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing over 
a stone wall, it has no equal. 75c each; $8.00 per doz. 
Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose). Fragrant, single, pure white 
flowers with yellow stamens followed in the fall by bright red 
hips or berries. Produces a dense mat of almost evergreen 
foliage. 75c each; $8.00 per doz. 
Any of the three: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 
Set of 3 Austrian Brier Roses, value $2.55, for $2.25. 
Dreer’s Roses 
Your success with Roses depends primarily upon the 
quality of the plants you secure. Cheap stock invariably 
is inferior and cannot produce vigorous plants that will 
support an abundance of large and perfect blooms. While 
cheap in the beginning they really are the most expensive 
in the end because they can only cause dissatisfaction. 
After all the slightly higher cost of Dreer’s Quality Roses 
is a minor expenditure compared with the results they 
produce. A few Rose plants of Dreer quality will give 
you more blooms than twice the number of plants of 
inferior stock. But that is not all. The flowers from 
Dreer Quality Roses will be larger, better, and they last 
longer. 
The Roses on this page are all very interesting and lovely 
Moss Roses 
Blanche Moreau. Large, pure white. 
Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 
Golden Moss. A true Moss Rose with golden buff flowers tinted 
pink and passing to creamy white. 
Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 
Salet. Large, full double, light rose. 
Any of the above: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 
One each of the 5 Moss Roses, value $4.25, for $3.50.
