New Hybrid Rugosa Rose 

 F. J. Grootendorst 



This is a new type of Rose which might properly be called a Rugosa 

 Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson 

 Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-like 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 vnth. 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 in an exposed position or among shrubs in the shrubberj' 

 border or use it for an everbiooming hedge for which purpose it is 

 admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and continues in bloom 

 until late in the fall.

Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweetbrier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet Brier 

 and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is deliciously 

 scented. The flowers are of the most beautifxd tints, and produced in 

 great profusion, and the plants are perfectly hardy, and possess a robust 

 vigor which is quite astonishing.

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 



lustre, the base of each petal is yeUow. 



Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 

 lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 

 pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 



Common Sweet Brier. This is the true English Sweet Brier 

 or Eglantine, the single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is 

 valued most on account of the refreshing fragrance of its foliage.

Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Presumed to be a cross between Rosa Rugosa and Setigera, with 

 large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the pink form 

 of Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to its 

 attractiveness. It makes an excellent climber or pillar rose, but 

 it appeals to us more particularly as a ground cover, for which 

 purpose it is superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The 

 foliage resembling Rosa Rugosa, is retained very late in the season 

 and is practically immune to mildew, black spot and insects, and 

 is perfectly hardy. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing 

 over a stone wall it has no equal. 



Strong two-year-old plants, §1.00 each; $75.00 per 100. 



Rosa Hugonis 



This species, recently introduced from China, is unlike any other 

 Rose. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms 

 symmetrical bushes about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, 

 and while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable 

 subject when planted in connection with other shrubs or as single 

 specimens in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 

 spra3's early in May, every branch of the previous season's growth 

 becomes lined on both sides to the very tips with these attractive 

 flowers, and after it has finished flowering it remains an attractive 

 decorative bush for the balance of the season; perfectly hardj'. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each. 



Climbing Hybrid-Tea Rose 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climbing 

 Hybrid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 

 Nursery, with very little protection, has withstood the past 

 ten winters, producing not only an immense crop of its very 

 large flowers in June, but continuing to bloom almost without 

 interrnission until the end of the season. It is beautiful in bud 

 as well as in the fully expanded flower, color .soft carmine-pink 

 shading to golden yellow at the base. $1.00 each.
