New and Rare Miscellaneous Hardy Roses 



New Hardy Hybrid Rugosa, Mad. Georges 

 Bruant. 



A genuine ever-bloomer, a cross between Rosa Rugosa 

 Alba and that sweet Tea Rose, Sombreuil. It inherits the 

 hardiness and glossy, leathery leaves of the Rugosa class, 

 with the free-blooming qualities of the Teas. The flowers 

 are of large size, semi-double, and are produced with remark- 

 able 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. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1 ; two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cts. each ; $6 per dozen ; three-year-old plants, $1 

 each by Express. 



English Sweetbriar Rose. 



A fine old favorite; desirable for shrubberies and general 

 planting; the flowers are bright pink and single; the fra- 

 grance of the flowers, leaves and young branches in the early 

 Spring frequently perfumes the whole neighborhood and is 

 truly delightful. Large plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 

 two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



Bardou Job. 



An offspring of Gloire des Rosomanes; large, rich crim-

 leaves, and bearing large, pure white Roses in great pro- 

 fusion; the flowers are double, very beautiful and wax-like.

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 in- 

 credible height of 40 feet and over. It throws up numer- 

 ous 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, 

 30 cts. each; 2 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each 

 by Express. (Stock limited.)

Rosa Rugosa Roses. 



These handsome Ramonas or Rugosa Roses still maintain 

 the prestige to which their admirable qualities entitle them.

 habit, attaining a height of 5 to 6 feet; perfectly hardy, 

 rendering them available 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.
