A Super Rose w*" 1 ' 



^Francis Scott Key 



This American production, named in hon- 

 or of the author of our national anthem, is 

 a credit to its name. It is by far the most 

 popular red rose, for its glowing colors, its 

 remarkable size, its fullness, its perfection 

 of form, make, it a greatly prized variety. 

 The color is a rich, glowing scarlet, with 

 darker shadings, becoming darker as the 

 flower ages. It is a continuous bloomer, pro- 

 ducing its immense blooms on stout stems 

 in great profusion. The growth is excellent 

 and the foliage heavy, little troubled with 

 disease. Very hardy. Reports from almost 

 all sections of the country show excellent 

 results with this remarkable rose. 

 LADY ALICE STANLEY— Massive buds 

 and blooms, fully double and very sweet, 

 outside petals coral-rose, inside pale flesh 

 pink. One of the dependable roses for 

 any purpose. 

 LORD CHARLEMONT— Flowers clear 

 crimson, deepening to carmine crimson 

 with almost black shadings, perfectly 

 shaped, long pointed buds, large and full 

 sweetly scented flowers. Free-growing 

 and free-flowering, a splendid Rose of 

 exceptional richness and beauty. 

 PRESIDENT TAFT— A most remarkable 

 pink Rose, with a shining intense deep 

 pink color of a very distinctive shade. 

 Splendid grower in every respect. 

 GEN. ARNOLD JANSSEN— Color a dee-> 

 glowing carmine. Free bloomer. Buds 

 long and pointed on long, stiff stems.

John Cook 



A seedling of La 

 France is noted for its 

 profusion of bloom 

 throughout the entire 

 season. The buds form 

 in clusters of two to six. 

 The flowers are similar 

 to La France in color, 

 but it is a great improve- 

 ment of that variety in 

 its quick growth and 

 freedom from black spot. 



BRITISH QUEEN — 



The flower resembles 

 Frau Karl Druschki, 

 but with Tea Rose 

 form and refinement. 

 Buds sometimes show 

 a slight flush, which 

 disappears as flower 

 expands. 



HENRIETTA — Long 

 buds, opening to semi- 

 double blooms of fiery 

 orange and coral red, 

 almost perfect in half 

 open state, quite fra- 

 grant. Strong grower with good foliage. 



SALMON SPRAY— Salmon pink with car- 

 mine reverse. Flowers of medium size 

 and borne in clusters. Continuous and 

 profuse bloomer. Good for cutting. Very 

 unique. 



LULU — Beautiful buds of orange red shad- 

 ed with salmon. Very dainty and distinct 

 being somewhat similar to Mile. Brunner 

 but much larger. A fine bedding variety. 



*JONKHEER J. L. MOCK— The buds are 

 immense and of very fine form, borne on 

 long, stiff stems. Color a clear imperial 

 pink, reflexed petals of a lighter shade. 

 Strong, tall grower, at its best in heat, 

 when the heavy petals open to perfection. 



DEAN HOLE— Silvery carmine Roses 

 with salmon shadings. The coloring is 

 distinct and unique; handsome tribute to 

 the eminent Rosarian whose name it 

 bears. 



*MAD. ABEL CHATENAY— This splen- 

 did Rose is one of the very best of its 

 color — rosy-carmine with darker shade. 



COMMONWEALTH — Bud large, long 

 pointed; flower large, open, double, very 

 lasting; deep pink, solid color; borne 

 singly on medium strong stem; moderate 

 fragrance.
