CLASS VII.— 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. It promises to be a valuable and interesting- group. Xone of them make growth enough to cover large 

 buildings, but for trellis or pillar work they are very desirable. 



Climbing: Bessie Jolinson, vig. (G. Paul, 1S7SJ Of the Jules Mwrgotbin type. Blush, highly scented, A very 



excellent Pillar Rose. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 

 Climbing- Edward 3Iorren, rig. (G. Paid, 1879.) The flowers are somewhat smaller than those of the old variety, 



and they seem to open better. Budded plants. 50c. 

 CLI31BIXG- JULES MARGOTTES", vig. (Cranston, 1S7-5.) Carmine rose, fine in open Sower 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. On own roots. 50c. 

 CLDIBING VICTOR VERDEER, free. (G. Paid, 1871.) Carmine rose. On own roots. 50c. 

 Princess Eouise Tietoria, vig. (Knight, 1872.) Soft salmon pink ; of medium size, of good semi-globular form, not 



fragrant. Wood rather smooth, foliage dark and handsome. A very beautiful rose. On own roots. 50c. 



CLASS VIII.— 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. Xone of these give buds that are equal in quality to some of the Summer varieties, but they come 

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



BLANCHE 3IOREAU, vig. (Moreau-Eohert, 1SS0.) 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. Budded and 

 on own roots. 50c. 



3Iadame Edward Ory, mod. (Moreau-JZobert, 185k.) Carmine red. Budded plauts. 50c. 



Salet, free or vig. (Lacharme, 1S5U.) Lig-ht rose, large, full ; pretty in bud. Budded plants. 50c. 



CLASS IX.— HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES. 



(Rosa Nbisettiana hybrida.) 



This is a modern group of considerable importance, obtained chiefly froin crosses between Remontant, Bour- 

 bon 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. Eliza 

 Boelle and Mmc. Woman are the most beautiful, but are also the poorest growers. It is a class quite subject to 

 mildew. 



COQUETTE DES AEPES, vig. or free. (Lacharme, 1867.) White, slightly shaded with carmine; medium size; 



form semi-cupped ; wood long-jointed ; larger flowers than the others. The strongest grower of the entire 



class. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 

 Coquette des Blanclies, vig. or free. (Lacharme, 1872.) Pure white, sometimes faintly tinged with pink : flowers 



of medium size, somewhat flat, but full and very pretty ; growth more bushy and symmetrical than any of the 



others. One of the hardiest. Later than the rest in coming into flower. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 

 EEIZA BOEEEE, mod. (Guillot, 1S60.) White, delicately tinged with pink; medium size; full, beautiful circular 



form. An exquisite rose. Budded plants. 50c. 

 Madame Noman, dwf, (Guillot-pcre, 1867.) TThite, sometimes with shaded center; medium size; full, globular 



A rose of exquisite beauty. Budded plants. 50c. 



CLASS X. HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



(Rosa damascena hybrida.) 



This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak 

 shoots closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant ; some of them, like 

 Alfred Colombo Louis Van Houtte, Mme. Victor Vcrdicr, etc., are most delieiously perfumed. 



Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them are such in reality. However, many of them yield a 

 fair second crop of flowers in the autumn, which is very acceptable. Aside from this, there is no class, take it all in 

 all, so popular and which gives such general satisfaction. 



Abel Carriere, mod. (E. Verdicr, 1S75.) Velvety crimson, with fiery center. Of better form and finish than most 



of the dark sorts. Shy in autumn. Budded plants. 50c. 

 Abel Grand, free. (Damaizin, 1865.) Silvery pink, sometimes glossy rose; large, full, fragrant; valuable in the 



autumn. Budded plants. 50c. 

 AEFRED COLOMB, /rcc. (Lacharme, 1865.) Raised from Jacqueminot. Brilliant carmine crimson: very large T 



full, and of fine globular form ; extremely f rag-rant, and in every respect a superb sort. Green wood with 



occasional pale greenish thorns; foliage large and handsome. One of the most useful of all sorts for general 



cultivation. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 

 Alphonse Soupert, rig. (Lachai'mc, 188S.) Large, very handsome and showy ; bright rose color. A fine rose. 50c. 

 American Beauty, vig. (Hon. G. Bancroft : S< ut out by <;><<■ Field & Bro., 1885.) Large, globular ; deep pink, shaded 



with carmine ; dehcious odor ; has proved to be a most desirable variety for forcing. 50c.
