Various Types of RoSCS for Beds, Mixed Shrubbery Borders, Etc. 



POLYANTHA OR BABY ROSES 



A type of Roses which is very popular for bedding purposes, 

 forming shapely, compact bushy specimens about 18 inches high, 

 producing in great profusion from early in the season until severe 

 frost, immense trusses of sm'all flowers. 



Cecile Brunner {Sweetheart or Fairy Rose). A dainty variety 

 with small, double, rose-pink blooms on rich creamy white 

 ground. Fragrant.

 Xever fades and always is full, double, and free-flowering.

 glistening orange blooms that fairly blaze in the sunlight.

 globular form. They have an elusive fragrance.

 duced with the greatest freedom. Lovely and delightfully

Trailing Hybrid-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 

 rug >sa, is reta ined very late in the season, it is practically immune 

 to insects and disease, and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers are 

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

 planting on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall, it has 

 no equal. 75c each; $8.00 per doz. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids 



These are particularly valued on account of their hardiness, 

 freedom from disease, and ability to do well even under the most 

 adverse conditions of soil and climate. 

 Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Very large, intensely fragrant 



flowers of an appealing clear silvery pink. Borne in splendid 



clusters. 



Pink F.J. Grootendor St . Similar to the variety below but the 

 blooms are a splendid clear pink color. 



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

 covered with showy trusses of crimson Rambler Roses and you 

 will have a fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is 

 valuable to plant as an isolated specimen or in a mass in a bed 

 or in the shrubbery or as an everblooming hedge. It is abso- 

 lutely hardy and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Rugosa. Large single rosy carmine. 



— alba. Large single white. 



Any of the above: 75c each; $8.00 per doz.

 rocket, and the two new Perpetual Flowering Roses, Im-

Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses

 Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage 

 is deliciously scented. Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be 

 grown as pillar Roses.

 Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 



lustre, the base of each petal toned yellow.
