Two Dr. W. Van Fleet Roses 



Introduced by the American Rose Society 



New Hybrid -Perpetual Rose 

 Mme. Albert Barbier 



(Barbier Bros. 1925) 



Introduced two years ago, this remarkable Rose has quickly 

 found its place in popular favor. 'In its habit of flowering it is 

 as free as many of the popular Hybrid-Tea varieties, its seed 

 parent is Frau Karl Druschki, from which it has inherited a 

 strong, clean, vigorous growth, its buds are long and well formed 

 of a pearly white color suffused with soft, salmony flesh and 

 develop into large, full double imbricated flowers of splendid 

 form which as they expand, show a golden apricot suffused 

 centre. A gem in every respect. $1.50 each. 



HYBRID-PERPETUAL ROSES 



The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best that can 

 be selected in the Hybrid-Perpetual class which, before the 

 development of the Hybrid-Teas, was the most popular type for 

 garden planting, and even now they dare not be overlooked, but 

 should be used extensively in conjunction with the other sorts, 

 and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the Hybrid- 

 Tea varietieshas not been established. 



American Beauty. Rich dark carmine. 



Anna de Diesbach. Bright carmine-rose of large size. 



Baroness Rothschild. Pale satiny-rose, very large. 



Candeur Lyonaisse. Large white with faint tint of yellow. 



Captain Christy. Delicate flesh-pink. 



Clio. Delightful satiny-flesh with deep centre; the flowers are 

 large, globular and borne on long stems. 



Frau Karl Druschki. This is the ideal hardy white Rose. 

 General Jacqueminot. Brilliant scarlet crimson. 

 George Arends. A beautiful pink variety. 



Gloire de Chedane Guinnoiseau. Large globular vermilion 

 red. 



Mrs. John Laing. Soft pink of splendid form, exceedingly 

 fragrant and very free flowering. 



The two varieties offered below were raised by the late Dr. 

 the descriptions are official from the Department. 



Dr. E. M. Mills {Hybrid Hugonis) (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1926). 

 An early-blooming, spreading shrub Rose, 3 to 4 feet high, simi- 

 lar to the graceful Scotch Roses in its habit and in its manner of 

 spreading by underground rootstocks. Foliage is small and 

 deep green, and the new growth is almost thornless, with sharp, 

 straight thorns on the mature wood. Flowers are medium size 

 (2 to 2\ inches across), semi-double, peculiarly globular in shape, 

 and profusely produced along and around the arching branches. 

 They are primrose color, with a pink suffusion which becomes 

 more pronounced in the later blooms. 



Van Fleet while connected with the U. S. Department of Agriculture; 



Sarah Van Fleet (Hybrid Rugosa) (Dr. VV. Van Fleet, 1926). 

 The plant is of erect and spreading habit, with medium green 

 Rugosa-type foliage. It is a vigorous grower, very hardy, with 

 flowers having three to four rows of petals, opens flat, shows 

 stamens; color, Wild rose-pink; form, cupped; fragrance, mod- 

 erate; bud, medium size; petalage, twenty to thirty; freedom of 

 bloom and lasting quality, excellent. The Rose is distinct from 

 all the Rugosa hybrids in purity of color and continuity of flow- 

 ering, and is considered as a decided improvement in the race. 



Either of the above varieties, $2.00 each.
