STANDARD OR **TREE'' ROSES 



CONRAD F. MEYER ON RUGOSA STOCK 

 (From a Photograph) 



• Until recent years. Tree Roses were produced 

 only by "working" the diflFerent varieties upon 

 stocks of the dog rose, which, unfortunately, does 

 not succeed in our American climate; hence, in the 

 past. Tree Roses were short lived and unsatisfactory' 

 in the United States. We now have Standard 

 or Tree Roses budded upon Rosa Rugosa stocks, 

 and can enjoy these objects of great beauty, devel- 

 oped to same perfection as they are grown in Europe. 



CONRAD F. MEYER.— In 1909 my attention 

 was called to the signal success and great beauty of 

 the Conrad F. Meyer Rose grown as a standard 

 upon the stock of Rosa Rugosa. At once I set about 

 growing a quantity of them and now have a supply 

 of several hundred strong, handsome plants of it, 

 grown in this way. This beautiful, pink, fragrant 

 rose grown as a standard upon Rosa Rugosa has 

 the vigor of an apple or pear tree and the "trees" 

 continue to flower all summer and autumn. The 

 trees offered were grown in my nursery here at 

 Little Silver, N. J., (not imported, which so often 

 fail in transplanting). Stems 4 to 5 ft., with full 

 heads, $1.25 each. 



NOVEL STANDARD ROSES 



Of the following Roses, I have a few hundred only grown on 

 Rugosa stock. They are all fine trees with large full heads. 



JACK LOVETT. — The most brilliant red rose I have ever 

 seen. It is a hybrid of Gen. Jacqueminot and Rosa rugosa 

 produced by Dr. Van Fleet. It has never been introduced and 

 is now offered for the first. The roses are of large size, full, 

 very freely produced for a long season and deliciously fragrant. 

 It has the rich fine foliage of the rugosa. Price, each, $5.00. 



MARY LOVETT.— The new white climbing Rose. Hand- 

 some trees, on rugosa stock. Each, $2.50. 



BESS LOVETT. — The new bright red climbing rose. 

 Handsome trees, each, $3.00 



BABY RAMBLER TREE ROSES 



There are a few varieties of the Baby Rambler 

 roses that succeed when budded upon the Rosa 

 Rugosa stock and are, therefore, an entire success 

 in the United States. I am fortunate in having 

 secured a nice lot of them upon rugosa stocks in 

 the following varieties. It will be noted the list 

 includes all the distinct and desirable colors.

 stems, each, $1.00; dozen $10.00. 



WEEPING ROSES 



In these we have something quite out of the usual 

 and as beautiful as they are novel. They are choice 

 free blooming varieties of the climbing roses, 

 "worked" on stout trunks five or six feet tall. 

 All are very hardy and they grow in graceful 

 fountain-like branches to the ground. In June they 

 are covered with masses of roses and each one pre- 

 sents a veritable fountain of flowers. See description 

 of flowers under Climbing Roses.
