NEW HARDY HYBRID RUGOSA MAD. 

 GEORGES BRUANT 



A genuine ever-bloomer, a cross between ROSA 

 RUGOSA ALBA and that sweet Tea Rose, SOM- 

 BREUIL. It inherits the hardiness and glossy, leath- 

 ery leaves of the Rugosa class, with the free-bloorn- 

 ing qualities of the Teas. The flowers are of large 

 size, semi-double, and are produced with remarkable 

 freedom in clusters of five; the deliciously fragrant 

 buds are very beautiful in form— long and pointed, 

 as shown in illustration, resembling NIPHETOS; 

 color is pure, glistening white. 20c. each; 3 for 50c; 

 7 for $1; two-year-old plants, 40c. each; $4.50 per 

 dozen. 



ENGLISH SWEETBRIAR ROSE 



A fine old favorite; desirable for shrubberies and 

 general planting; the flowers are bright pink and 

 single; the fragrance of the flowers, leaves and young 

 branches in the early spring frequently perfumes the 

 whole neighborhood and is truly delightful. Large 

 plants, 20c. each; 3 for 50c; two-year-old plants, 

 40c each. 



HARRISON'S YELLOW ROSE 



The old-fashioned HARRISON'S YELLOW ROSE 

 is one of the finest, pure, deep yellow, hardy Roses 

 ever grown. Three-year-old field plants, very fine, 

 50c each; $5 per dozen, by Express only. 



THE CHEROKEE ROSE 



A strong, erect-growing Rose, with deep, glossy, 

 green leaves, and bearing large, pure white Roses 

 in great profusion; the flowers are double, very beau- 

 tiful and wax-like. Requires protection in winter 

 north of Washington. D. C. 20c each; 3 for 50c; 7 

 for $1; two-year-old plants, 40c each; $4 per dozen. 



THE GIANT ROSE 



Grows Forty Feet in One Season. 



This wonderful new climbing Rose from India is 

 the most valuable and interesting Rose novelty we 

 have ever offered. Within a season young plants 

 grow as if by magic to the incredible height of forty 

 feet and over. It throws up numerous strong canes, 

 and bears large, single flowers, 5 to 6 inches across, 

 which in color are pure bright pink. The foliage does 

 not look like a Rose, being very dark, of medium size, 

 long and leathery. Hardy with protection. In every 

 way an extraordinary Rose. It is for sale only by us. 

 Young plants, 20c. each; 3 for 50c; two-year-old 

 plants 35c each, by Express. (Stock limited.) 



Hardy Roses 



NEW CENTURY 



This variety is a cross between CLOTILDE SOU- 

 PERT and ROSA RUGOSA ALBA, and is recom- 

 mended as a splendid hardy, ever-blooming Rose, 

 blooming at frequent intervals during the summer 

 and fall. The large flowers, perfectly full and dou- 

 ble, borne in clusters, are bright, rosy pink, with 

 red centre, with the petals widely bordered with 

 creamy white. The fragrance is sweet, like that of 

 the wild Rose or Sweetbriar. Entirely hardy, and free 

 from insect attacks, blight and rust. Planted in rich 

 ground and well fertilized, it will grow and bloom 

 with the greatest freedom. 20c each; 3 for 50c; 

 two-year-old plants, 40c each; $5 per dozen.

 ble yellow Roses. Perfectly hardy and free growing. 

 Three-year-old field plants, 40 cts. each. 



ROSA RUGOSA ROSES 



These handsome Ramonas or Rugosa Roses still 

 maintain the prestige to which their admirable qual- 

 ities entitle them. They are rapid growers, of neat, 

 uniform, compact and sturdy habit, attaining a height 

 of 5 to 6 feet; perfectly hardy, rendering them avail- 

 able for impenetrable ornamental hedges, for which 

 purpose they are unexcelled. The foliage exhibits a 

 mass of dense, luxuriant, glossy green. The flowers 

 are large and single: perfect form and color; pro- 

 duced continuously throughout the season and until 

 late in the autumn, and as they mature are replaced 

 by small, glossy, golden and red apples.
