New^ Hybrid -Rugosa Roses 



Red F. J. Grootendorst. This might properly be called a 

 Rugosa Baby, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson 

 Baby or Polyantha. Imagine a shrub like Rugosa Rose covered 

 with trusses of crimson Baby Roses and you will have a fair con- 

 ception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a Rose that j'ou 

 want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid-Per- 

 petual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen or 

 in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or in the shrubbery bor- 

 der or use it for an everbloorning hedge for which purpose it is ad- 

 mirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and continues in bloom 

 until late in the fall. $1 .00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the above variety, 

 except in color, which is a splendid clear pinis.. $1.00 each; 

 $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Agnes. Coppery yellow buds and flowers turning to amber yel- 

 low as they develop, the only Rugosa of a yellow color. The 

 flowers are of good size for this type, sweetly scented and pro- 

 duced freely in early summer. $2.00 e:u h. 



Trailing Hybrid -Rugosa Rose 

 Max Graf 



Makes an exLcUent 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, is retained very late in the season, it is practically immune 

 to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers are 

 large, single, bright pink with prettily crimped petals. For plant- 

 ing on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall, it has no 

 equal. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Roses 



These lovely Roses are absolutely hardy and form sturdy bushes 

 4 to 6 feet in height, covered with handsome crinkled flowers. 

 The single sorts flower almost continuously, and are equally as 

 attractive during the autumn and winter when covered with their 

 large brilliant red seedpods. Of healthy, vigorous growth and 

 equally desirable alike as single specimens, particularly among 

 shrubs or for making a hedge. Rugosa Roses require no pruning, 

 merely cut out dead and superfluous wood.

Blanc Double de Coubert. Fine double pure white. 

 Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Large double clear silvery rose.

Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses

Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage 



is deliciously scented- Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be • 



grown as pillar Roses.

Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 

 lustre, the base of each petal is yellow.

 yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 

 pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer. 

 Any of the above varieties, $1.50 each. 



Rose Species 



Rosa Hugonis. This species, from China, is unlike any other 

 Rose. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms 

 symmetrical bushes about 6 feet high, and while not suited to 

 plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable subject when planted 

 in connection with other shrubs or as single specimens in the 

 garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 

 sprays early in May, every branch of the previous season's 

 growth becomes lined on both sides to the very tips with these 

 attractive flowers. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; 

 $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Rosa Moyesi. A strikingly beautiful species, similar in habit of 

 growth to Rosa Hugonis but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with 

 attractive, brilliant, single, deep blood-red flowers, in June. 

 $1.50 each.
