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 profusely 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.— The finest' variety of 

 this class and a grand Rose. It is a hybrid of 

 Rosa Rugosa and a Tea. The buds are large, 

 pointed and quite long, and develop into perfectly 

 double flowers, three to four inches in diameter, 

 are a tender silvery rose in color and are exqui- 

 sitely perfumed. A profuse bloomer in June and 

 continues to flower until late autumn. A strong, 

 vigorous grower and surpassingly fine as a Tree 

 Rose when grafted upon Rosa Rugosa stock. (See 

 Cut.) 



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 Clothilde 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. 



Large two year plants, from five and six inch 

 pots, each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50. (A set for $1.25.) 



Strong two years old, from nursery row, each 

 25c.; dozen, $2\50. 



(All are much too large for mailing.)

 Received Rose bushes in good condition. I 

 planted them right away and hope to have good 

 results with them.

Ont., Can., July 15, 1913. 

 I wish to thank you for the Conrad F. Meyer 

 Rose on Rugosa stock in tub you sent me some 

 time ago. In spite of the treatment this 

 Rose received by fumigation at Niagara Falls 

 (singed and burnt down to the stalks), it sprouted 

 out at once, and now in the open ground is the 

 most satisfactory plant in my garden — a splendid 

 sight. I hope you will continue to ship these 

 Roses in the same way, as I intend to hand you 

 a good order early next spring.
