CLASS II. RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
| 
(Rosa rugosa.) 
This is a very interesting group, of Japanese origin. The flowers are mostly singie. The plant is highly 
ernamental on account of its good habit and beautiful glossy foliage. 
Agnes Emily Carman, (Z. S. Carman.) A rugosa hybrid obtained by crossing the common pink 
rugosa with Harrison's Yellow. Flowers in clusters; brilliant crimson, of the shade of Gen. Jacque- 
minot ; very free blooming, and continuing in bloom nearly all summer; a rampant grower, hand- 
some foliage, and very hardy 
Belle Poitevine, vig. (Bruant, 1895.) Deep rose color. Flowers semi-double. 
BLANC DOUBLE DE COUBERT, zg. (Cochet-Cochet, 1894.) A new variety with double, pure white 
flowers. possessing a delightful fragrance. A distinct and beautiful rose. 
Chedane Guinoisseau. (Chedane-Guinoisseau, 1896.) Flowers very large, very full; color fine satiny rose; 
flowers in clusters and continues till frost. 
MADAME G. BRUANT, zig. (Bruant, 1888.) One of the first of a new race of hybrids. In the bud 
state the flowers are jong and pointed, when open, semi-double; pure white and fragrant, and pro- 
duced freely in clus ers at intervals throughout the summer; exceptionally hardy and vigorous; 
forms a handsome bush. Budded plants. 
Rugosa alba, mod. A species from Japan. Single, pure white flowers of five petals; highly scented; a 
splendid shrub. 
Rugosa rubra, vzg. Another Japan variety. Flowers single, of a most beautiful bright rosy crimson, suc- 
ceeded by large berries of a rich rosy red color, and are a great addition to the ornamental character 
of the plant. Makes a beautiful low hedge. 
Souvenir de Pierre Leperdrieux, wg. (Cochet-Cochet, 1896.) Flowers double, in immense clusters; color 
bright vinous red. Very vigorous; superb foliage; abundant fruits. Very ornamental. 
CLASS HI.—HYBRID CLIMBING ROSES. 
(Rosa hybrida scandens.) 
These are of modern origin, coming from various sources; many of them are sports from varieties of 
Remontant Roses. A valuable and interesting group. None of them make growth enough to cover large 
buildings, but for trellis or pillar work they are very desirable. 
Climbing Jules Margottin, v7g. (Cranston, 1875.) Carmine rose, fine in open flower and in bud; 
the best of all the climbing sports. It may be grown either as a Pillar Rose, or by pruning kept 
in bush form; it should be in every collection. 
Climbing Victor Verdier, free. (G. Paul, 1871.) Carmine rose. Budded plants. 
Paul’s Carmine Pillar, vig. (Paul & Son, 1896.) Flowers very large, single, bright rosy carmine, and 
produced abundantly. Grows ten to twelve feet in a season. 
GEASS 1V.— PERPETUAL MOSS ROSES. 
(Rosa centifolia muscosa.) 
These have the same characteristics as the other Moss Roses, except that they flower in Autumn. A 
great many so-called Perpetual Roses have been sent out, but those which we offer are the only ones, in our 
opinion, that are worth growing. None of these give buds that are equal in quality to some of the Summei 
varieties, but they come at a. time of the year when the others are not to be had, and are therefore useful. 
BLANCHE MOREAU, wig. (Moreau-Robert, 1880.) Pure white, large, full, and of perfect form; the 
buds and flowers produced in clusters and freely furnished with a deep green moss. A valuable 
variety. 
Salet, free or vig. (Lacharme, 1854.) Light rose, large, full, pretty in bud. Budded plants. 
CLASS V.—HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES. 
(Rosa Norsettiana hybrida.) 
This is a modern group of considerable importance, obtained chiefly from crosses between Remontant, 
Bourbon and Noisette Roses. They generally flower in small clusters, and bloom freely throughout the year. 
The flowers are mostly white, and though small are generally of good form. They are of about the same 
hardiness as the Bourbons and Hybrid Teas, requiring a little more care in their protection than the Hybrid 
Perpetuals. It is a class quite subject to mildew.
