New Polyaxtha kose. Magnifique 



New Hybrid Rugosa Roses 



Red F.J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-lLke Rugosa Rose 

 covered with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you 

 will have a fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not 

 a Rose that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated 

 specimen or in a mass in a bed or in the shrubbery border or use 

 it for an everblooming hedge. It is absolutely hardy and con- 

 tinues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the above variety, 

 except in color, which is a splendid clear pink. 



Price. Either of above, 51-00 each; §10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 

 100. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Roses 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Double pure white. 

 Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Clear, silvery rose. 

 Hansa. Attractive double reddish- violet. 

 Rugosa. Single rosy-carmine. 

 Rugosa Alba. Large single white. 

 Two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each: S7.50 per doz.; S60.00 per 100. 



Trailing Rugosa Rose — Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found 

 most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is far superior 

 to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa 

 Rugosa, is retained very late in the season, it is practically immune 

 to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers are 

 large, single, bright pink with prettily crimped petals. For plant- 

 ing on a steep bank or for traiUng over a stone wall, it has no 

 equal. §1.00 each; §11.00 per doz.; §90.00 per 100. 



POLYANTHA OR BABY ROSES 



A type of Rose which is very popular for bedding purposes. 



They form shapely, compact bushy specimens about 18 inches 



high, producing in great profusion from early in the season until 



severe frost immense trusses of small flowers. 



Cecile Brunner {The Fairy, or Sweetheart Rose). A variety with 

 dainty double little flowers of perfect form produced in many 

 flowered graceful sprays; color a soft rosy-pink on a rich creamy- 

 white ground. 



Chatillon. Very distinct, a pretty silvery crimson-rose passing 

 to a white centre, very free, one of the most desirable varieties. 



George Elger. Buds bright yellow developing into dainty pale 

 creamy j'ellow blooms of prett}' form in graceful sprays. 



Golden Salmon. A new color, a greatly admired rich and 

 brilliant golden orange scarlet. 



Ideal. Intense dark, rich, lustrous garnet, th'e flowers are not 

 large but are produced in large effective trusses. 



Katherine Zeimet. Verj- free, full double, fragrant, pure 

 white. 



Lafayette. Very attractive large, bright crimson-scarlet, in 

 sprays of 40 or more flowers each, that can be depended upon for 

 a continuous display throughout the season. 



Le Marne. A beautiful semi-double with very pretty, good sized 

 flowers, bright salmon-rose at the edges, rosy blush at the centre, 

 exceptionally free and continuous flowering, one of the prettiest. 



Locarno. Brilliant glowing Oriental or Turkish red which as the 

 flowers mature passes to a pretty cochineal carmine. 



Magnifique. Of the same attractive shade of pink as the climb- 

 ing rambler Dorothy Perkins, but with a light centre and much 

 larger flowers with undulated or wavy petals forming a most 

 graceful semi-double flower produced most profusely and con- 

 tinuously in large branching panicles. 



Orleans. Of good size, flowers double, brilliant geranium-red 

 with white centre, very free and reliable. 



Pink Lafayette. Identical except in color with the favorite 

 red bedding variety Lafayette from which it originated as a 

 sport; color a lively rose pink. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz.; 

 §60.00 per 100. 



THREE NEW SINGLE 

 POLYANTHA ROSES 



Unlike all other single Roses, these new hj-brids are of very 

 vigorous habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet high and are a mass of 

 attractive flowers throughout the season. The blooms are about 

 two inches or more across, very substantial, borne in branching 

 clusters, not only holding their brilliant colors without fading but 

 last for ten days or more. We strongly recommend these hardy 

 bedding varieties, they will not disappoint you. 

 Else Poulsen. A beautiful tone of pure rose-pink. 

 Kirsten Poulsen. Rich bright scarlet. 

 Salmon Spray. Semi-double, rich salmon-pink flowers, with 



carmine reverse, sweetly scented, very free. 



Price. 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz.; §60.00 per 100. 



PERPETUAL FLOWERING 



BEDDING ROSES 



Gruss an Aachen. A very distinct type of Polyantha Rose 

 with exceptionally large flowers for this type, always a mass of 

 bloom throughout the season, color flesh pink with salmon and 

 yellow shadings, very effective as a bedder. 



Gruss an Teplitz. This is a Rose for everj'body, succeeding 

 under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of the richest 

 scarlet, shading to a velvety crimson; very fragrant, a free, 

 strong grower and in bloom all the time. 



Hermosa. Less than twenty years ago this was perhaps the 

 most popular bedding Rose and it still has many friends on ac- 

 count of the freedom with which its medium sized, perfect shaped 

 double, bright pink flowers are produced, it rarely being out of 

 bloom. 



Price. Any of the above strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; 

 §7.50 per doz.; §60.00 per 100. One each of the 3 sorts for §2.00. 



Prices on dormant Rose plants for delivery in the autumn include free delivery to any Postoffice in the U. S.
