BABY RAMBLER ROSES 



A most interesting, valuable and useful class of 

 roses. Though the list of varieties is somewhat 

 limited, yet they are so unlike any other roses 

 that I offer them in a group by themselves. All 

 are of dwarf, bushy habit, and the flowers of all 

 are quite small; but are produced in clusters in 

 great profusion, without intermission, through- 

 out the summer and autumn. At Monmouth all 

 those offered are hardy without protection. 



BABY DOROTHY (Maman Levavasseur) .— A 



fine pink Baby Rambler rose. It is literally cov- 

 ered with w-ell-formed, double, clear deep pink 

 roses with lake and carmine shadings. (See cut.) 



BOSKOOP BABY— A distinct and valuable va- 

 riety giving a profusion of pretty China rose flow- 

 ers in clusters. 



CERISE-PINK BABY RAMBLER (Mrs. Cut- 

 bush). — Beautiful in color, being identical with 

 the charming Lady Gay Rambler. 



CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER (Mme. Norbert 



Levavasseur). — The well-known original Baby 

 Rambler. During the entire summer it yields a 

 constant display of small, double purplish-crimson 

 roses in clusters. 



MRS. TAFT.— Pure blood red. Flowers freely 

 during the whole of summer and until late. 



ORLEANS.— The finest of the Baby Ramblers 

 to date and very valuable. The large clusters 

 of semi-double flowers are bright geranium red, 

 edged with bright carmine and with a large white 

 center; exceeding gay and pleasing. A most pro- 

 fuse bloomer for a long season. 



PINK BABY RAMBLER (Anchen Muller).— 



The semi-double flowers are a clear soft lively 

 pink and are fragrant. The color does not change 

 as in the original Baby Rambler. A sturdy grower 

 and a constant free bloomer. 



WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Katharine Zeimet). 



— Of compact habit and yields double pure white 

 flowers in great profusion for nearly four months. 



I ofl'er these, grown upon their own roots and 

 in large pots only, the same as, and for the same 

 reasons, the Hardy Everblooming Roses are grown. 



Price, strong, two years old, in 5- and 6-inch 

 pots, each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50; 100, $25.00. 



A set, one each of the eight, for $2.50.

HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES 



An exceedingly valuable group of roses by rea- 

 son of their extreme hardihood, rich deep green 

 foliage, delicious fragrance and perpetual bloom- 

 ing properties. The foliage of all the varieties 

 named is very dense and leathery; as in the 

 species ( Rosa rugosa ) , and in addition to flower- 

 ing freely in June, they continue to bloom more 

 or less freely all summer and autumn. 



ALICE ALDRICH.— Sent out by the Monmouth 



Nursery several years ago and by its merits has 

 won favor with many. It is a hybrid of Rosa 

 rugosa and a tea rose. A prominent rose grower 

 in speaking of it says: "We consider this a re- 

 markably fine bush rose for garden planting. It 

 has lovely buds and its large double flowers of 

 clear bright pink are borne during the whole grow- 

 ing season; very sweet and beautiful." 



CONRAD F. MEYER, HALF SIZE 



CONRAD F. MEYER.— A grand variety, a hy- 

 brid between Rosa rugosa and a tea rose also. It 

 has elegant long pointed buds that develop into 

 perfectly double flowers, three to four inches in 

 diameter, of tender silvery rose, that are exquis- 

 itely perfumed. It is of strong growth and as 

 hardy as an Oak tree. 



NEW CENTURY.— The flowers of this are borne 

 in clusters, and are of good size, perfectly double, 

 rosy pink, deepening at the center, and pleasantly 

 fragrant. Being a hybrid of Rosa rugosa and the 

 everblooming Clothiide Soupert, it is a profuse 

 and constant bloomer. 



SIR THOS. LIPTON.— The finest and best Ru- 

 gosa hybrid giving double white flowers. It is 

 of strong, robust habit and has beautiful foliage. 

 A free and constant bloomer of fragrant double 

 pure white roses. 



Strong two-year plants from field or 5-inch 

 pots, as preferred, each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00. 



A set, one of each, for $1.00.
