CLASS II. RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 



( Rosa rugosa.) 



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 foliage. 



Agnes Emily Carman, (E. 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. 



America, vig. (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. (Cocket-Cocket, 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, vig. (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. 



Rugosa alba, niod. A species from Japan. Single, pure white flowers of five petals ; highly scented ; a 

 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, vig. (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 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, vig. (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,/ra?. (G. Paul, 1871.) Carmine rose. Budded plants. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar, vig. (Paid & 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 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 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, vig. (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,/ra? or vig. (Lacharme, 1854..) Light rose, large, full , pretty in bud. Budded plants. 



CLASS V.— HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES. 



(Rosa Noisettiana 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.
