22 ELLWANGER &• BARRY'S CATALOGUE OF 



CLASS II. RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 



(Rosa 7'ugosa.) 



This is a very interesting group, of Japanese origin. The flowers are mostly single. The plant is highly 

 ornamental on account of its good habit and beautiful glossy foHage. 



Agnes Emily Carman, {E. S. Caj-maii.) A rugosa hybrid obtained by crossing the common pink 

 rugosa with Harrisoii\^ Yellow. Flowers in clusters ; brilliant crimson, of the shade of Gen. Jacque- 

 ?nhzot ; very free blooming, and continuing in bloom nearly all summer; a rampant grower, hand- 

 some foliage, and very hardy. 



America, vi^. {Jackson Dawson, 1894.) Crimson lake; large, open single flowers. 



Belle Poitevine, vig. {Bruant, 1895.) Deep rose color. Flowers semi-double. % 



BLANC DOUBLE DE COUBERT, vig. {Cochet-Cochet, 1894.) A new variety mth double, pure white 

 flowers, possessing a delightful fragrance. A distinct and beautiful rose. 



Chedane Guinoisseau. {Ckedune-Gninoisseau, 1896.) Flowers very large, very full; color fine satiny rose ; 

 flowers in clusters and continues till frost. 



MADAME G. BRUANT, 7ug. {Bruant, 1888.) One of the first of a new race of hybrids. In the bud 

 state the flowers are long and pointed, when open, semi-double; pure white and fragrant, and pro- 

 duced freely in clusters at intervals throughout the summer; exceptionally hardy and vigorous; 

 forms a handsome bush. Budded plants.

 splendid shrub. 



Rugosa rubra, vig. 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, z-^;^. {Cochet-Cochet, 1896.) Flowers double, in immense clusters; color 

 bright vinous red. Very vigorous ; superb foliage ; abundant fruits. Very ornamental. 



CLASS III.— HYBRID CLIMBING ROSES. 



(Rosa hyh'ida sca?iciefis. ) 



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, 77^. {Cranston., 1875.) Carmine rose, fine in open flower and in bud; 



tlie 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,/>v?. (C. Bui/l, 1S71.) Carmine rose. Budded plants. 

 Paul's Carmine Pillar, c/V {Paul 6r^ Son, 1896.) Flowers very large, single, bright rosy carmine, and 



produced abundantly. Grows ten to twelve feet in a season. 



CLASS IV.— PERPETUAL MOSS ROSES. 



(Rosa centifoUa 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 

 opinioji, that are w6rth growing. None cff these give buds that are equal in quality to some of the Summer 

 varieties, but they come at a time of the year when the others are not to be had, and are therefore useful. 

 BLANCHE MOREAU, 7'/;^. {Moreaii-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,/r^^ or vig. {Lacharme, 1S54..) Light rose, large, full ; pretty in bud. Budded plants. 



CLASS v.— HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES. 



(Rosa NoisettiaJia hybrida.) 



This is a modern gtoup 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.
