The Standard Garden Rose of America 



This is by far the best pink garden rose in existence, 

 because of its vigorous, hea^"y growth, and its great 

 abundance of bloom. Extremely easy to grow, requir- 

 ing little attention, it is exceptionally well adapted for 

 the amateur's garden. The color is almost a soUd rose- 

 pink, but with hghter tints and reflections. Long, 

 hea\'y stems, bearing large and beautiful buds, which 

 open slowly into globular, somewhat loosely formed, 

 fairly double flowers. This is one of the hardiest of 

 roses, and will survive very severe winters. 

 Elsie Beck with. This is a very fine rose of a vigorous, 

 upright habit of growth. The very sweetly scented 

 blooms, with large bold stifl" petals, are produced on 

 strong stems. Not hable to damage by rain. Color 

 a rich glowing rosy pink. Fohage dark green, shaded 

 red; not subject to mildew. This is a good all round 

 sort for garden, bedding and under glass. It suggests 

 a glorified JMrs. Charles E. RusseU.

 peach tint toward center. Bud handsome, long and
