CLASS III.— MOSS ROSES. 



( Rosa centifolia muscosa.) 



This is a favorite class with everyone, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets and cut 

 flowers are invaluable. 



They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high culture. They amplv repay 

 careful attention by the increased size and beauty of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is 

 generally somewhat crimpled, and has mostly seven leaflets. 



The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud. Such kinds as the Co??imon, Gracilis, and Crested, with graceful 

 buds, are especially recommended. 



Common Moss,/t-«. Pale rose ; very beautiful buds. A great favorite. Budded plants. 

 Comtesse de Murinais, vig. ( Vibert, 1843.) White, tinged with flesh. 



CRESTED MOSS,y)-iV. ( Vibert, 1827.) Deep pink colored buds, surrounded with a mossy fringe and 

 crest ; free from mildew. A fragrant, very beautiful rose. Budded plants. 



Crimson Globe. (IV. Paul & Son, 1891.) Large, full, deep crimson, perfectly globular. A fine variety. 

 Budded plants. 



Gracilis, free. Deep pink buds, surrounded with delicate fringe-like moss. The most beautiful of all the 

 Moss Roses. Budded plants. 



Princess Adelaide, vig. (Laffay, 1845.) Pale rose, of medium size and good form. Foliage often 

 blotched or variegated. Good in bud and flower. Do not prune this variety severely. On own 

 roots. 



WHITE BATH, mod. (Salter, 1817.) White, sometimes tinged with flesh ; attractive in bud and open 

 flower. The best White Moss. Budded plants. 



CLASS IV.— MISCELLANEOUS ROSES. (Hardy.) 



In this class we place all the varieties of Summer Roses grown by us, that are not described in the three 

 preceding classes. Many of the groups of Summer Roses, by hybridization, are greatly intermixed ; in some 

 classes but one or two varieties are considered worth growing ; on this account we see no use in a catalogue 

 for a multitude of divisions, and therefore place them all in one class. 



Centifolia, Cabbage, or Common Provence, [Prov.] free. Rose color: large size, globular form ; very fra- 

 grant. A superb variety. Budded plants. 



Coupe d'Hebe, [H. Ch.] vig. (Laffay, 1840.) Deep pink; moderately large, cup-shaped flowers; seven 

 leaflets. A fine rose. Budded plants. 



Cooling's Single Crimson Bedder. A charming addition to the single and garden roses; quite distinct ; 

 semi-dwarf habit ; color glowing crimson ; flowers very large and produced in clusters. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER. (Turner, 1894.) The wonderful Japanese Rose, by far the most important and 

 valuable acquisition of recent years. The Crimson Rambler is unquestionably an acquisition, and 

 most distinct in its characteristics. It is a running or climbing rose of vigorous habit, strong 

 and rapid growth, with handsome shining foliage, and produces in marvelous abundance clusters of 

 the brightest crimson semi-double roses. Its clustered form, its brilliancy, the abundance of its 

 bloom, and the great length of time the flowers remain on the plant without falling or losing 

 their brilliancy, are qualities which will make this new claimant for admiration an assured favorite. For 

 verandahs, walls, pillars, and fences, it is a most suitable plant. If grown in beds and pegged down 

 it produces marvelous heads of bloom, or it can be grown in bush form and thus become a most 

 striking object. We planted this rose out of doors, along with Hybrid Perpetuals and other hardy 

 roses, and the plants came through the winter even better than many of the hardy varieties, remain- 

 ing fresh and green to the very tips. But it is not only for out-door use that it is valuable ; it can 

 be employed most satisfactorily for decorating in-doors when grown in pots, and for forcing at 

 Easter time when pot-grown specimens bring high prices. We are satisfied that this is the greatest 

 rose novelty of recent years. 



Dawson, vig. (Jackson Dawson.) A vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. Flowers 

 are clustered like those of the Rosa Multi-flora. They are quite full, of a deep pink color, and 

 very fragrant. Own roots.
