Selected Hardy Roses 



No garden is complete without Roses. Space permits me to name but a few of the choicest varieties and with 

 brief notes only. The plants offered are strong, two years old and much too large for mailing. 



TWO NEW ROSES OF VERY GREAT MERIT 



ORLEANS ROSE. — Of the Baby Rambler type, but claimed and believed to surpass by far all that have preceded 

 it. The roses, which are produced in large clusters, are individually larger than those of any of the other Baby 

 Ramblers, fully double, and of a bright geranium red, edged with carmine and with white at the center. Ex- 

 tremely gay and festive. It attains a height of eighteen inches to two feet, with beautiful dark green, clean foliage. 

 Large, strong plants, each, 75c. 



DR. WALTER TAN FLEET.— A new Wichuraiana hybrid (Pres. Carnot X Rose Wichuraiana), another of Dr. Van 

 Fleet's disease-proof creations and I believe to be by far the most beautiful and valuable climbing rose as yet offered. 

 The cupped blossoms are large — frequently four inches in diameter, when expanded — very double, of the softest, ten- 

 derest flesh pink imaginable at the outer petals, shading to deeper tints at the center, with dainty fragrance. The 

 pointed buds are borne on strong, stiff stems a foot to a foot and a half long, the plant a strong grower, a free and 

 constant bloomer. Its abundant foliage is large and glossy rich green with metallic cast and never mildews. I have 

 watched and admired this remarkable Rose for many years and cannot command language half strong enough to do 

 it justice. I am sure every one who plants it will be delighted with it. Strong plants, each, 75c; doz., $7.50. 



BABY RAMBLER ROSES. 



-^m: 



HYBRID RUGOSA ROSES. 



Baby Dorothy Rose. 



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 double and are 

 produced in clusters in great profusion, without inter- 

 mission, throughout the summer and autumn. At Mon- 

 mouth, all those offered are hardy without protection. 



Grown as standards they are especially pleasing and 

 unique. (See Standard Roses.) 



BABY DOROTHY (Maman Levavasseur) . — The finest 

 pink Baby Rambler rose to date. It is literally covered 

 with well-formed, double, clear light crimson roses with 

 lake and carmine shadings. The flowers are borne in 

 clusters — some clusters having fifty or more roses — in 

 profusion the whole of summer and autumn. The foliage 

 is clear bright green and does not mildew. (See cut.) 



CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER {Mme. Norbert Levavas- 

 seur). — The well-known original Baby Rambler. During 

 the entire summer it yields a constant display of small, 

 double purplish-crimson roses in clusters. 



PINK BABY RAMBLER (Anchen Muller).— The semi- 

 double flowers are a clear soft lively pink and are fra- 

 grant. The color does not change as in the original Baby 

 Rambler. A sturdy grower and a constant free bloomer. 



WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Katherine Zeimet).— Of com. 

 pact habit and yields double pure white flowers bounti- 

 fully for nearly four months. 



Strong 2 year plants, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 



One each of the four for $1.00. 



An exceedingly valuable group of roses by reason of 

 their extreme hardihood, rich deep green foliage — that is 

 exceedingly free from insect pests, rust and blight — deli- 

 cious fragrance and perpetual blooming properties. The 

 foliage of all the varieties named is very dense and leath- 

 ery; as in the species (Rosa rugosa), and in addition to 

 flowering freely in June, they continue to bloom more or 

 less freely all summer and autumn. 



CONRAD F. MEYER.— A grand variety said to be a 

 hybrid between Rosa rugosa and a tea rose. It has 

 elegant long pointed buds that develop into perfectly 

 double flowers, three to four inches in diameter, of tender 

 silvery-rose, that are exquisitely perfumed. It is of 

 strong growth and as hardy as an Oak tree. The finest 

 of the Rugosa hybrids to date. 



HUNTER. — A strong growing variety with very large 

 deep green leaves. It is pretty in the bud and still finer 

 when its large semi-double flowers expand. The flowers 

 are deep crimson, and are richly fragrant. 



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 TH08. LIPTON. — The finest and best Rugosa hybrid 

 giving double white flowers. It is of strong, robust 

 habit with beautiful foliage and a free and constant 

 bloomer of fragrant double pure white roses. Of iron- 

 clad hardiness. 



Strong 2 year plants, each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 



One each of the four for $1.25.
