HIPPOLYTE BARREAU. 



This variety is one of the best 

 introductions for many years ; 

 it is a distinguished Rose in every particular ; it is a strong 

 grower, with large heavy foliage ; in open ground it is 

 hardy with moderate protection, blooms as freely as a Tea 

 Rose, but in other respects has all the characteristics of a 

 Hybrid Perpetual; the flowers are extra large, full and 

 double, with petals well arranged ; both in bud and when 

 fully expanded, they are extremely beautiful; the fra- 

 grance is delicious ; the color is unusually rich — a deep car- 

 mine crimson, shaded velvety maroon. As a free-bloom- 

 ing hardy Rose for open-ground culture this variety is hard 

 to equal; we recommend it strongly, 2 cts. each. 



LADY HENRY GROSVENOR. This is an ideal Rose ; re- 

 I ceived first-class Certifi- 



cates and Reward of Merit. It is an exceedingly free and 

 effective garden Rose, and is a product of the late Mr. 

 Henry Bennett, the celebrated English Rose grower. The 

 flowers are large, full and globular ; color delicate flesh —

 pmk shade ; buds long and beau- 

 tifully rounded, immense in size on long heavy stems. One of

 and so healthy as to require but little care ; hardy with pro- 

 tection, A grand variety in every particular. 25 cts. each. 



PINK ROVER. ^ decidedly meritorious new English Rose 



'■ of semi-climbing habit. The color is pale 



pink, deeper in the centre of flower. The open flowers 

 have the delicate tints of Alba or Maiden's Blush Roses. 

 The flowers are large, full and expanded, exceedingly 

 sweet; most useful in the bud state for buttonholes. A 

 most desirable variety for pegging down for pillars, stan- 

 dards, or covering moderately sized spaces on walls or 

 fences. Is hardy, with moderate protection. The growth 

 and bloom is extremely free ; worthy of extensive planting. 

 25 cts. each. 

 PRINCESS MAY This variety is of the Gloire de Dijon race, 



— — ^^ ' but is not quite so vigorous in growth 



as the majority of its class, being of only semi-climbing 

 habit. It is distinct and beautiful in color, the flowers 

 being a very clear soft opaque pink; large, fiill and globu- 

 lar. Fine indoors or in open ground, where it blooms freely, 

 particularly in Autumn. Moderately hardy. 25 cts. each, 



SOUV. DE MAD. EUGENE VERDIER. ^'^'^i^ °"^ °f ^^^ 



— grandest Roses in 



this book. It is a very strong free grower, throwing up

 Rose and one that will draw forth exclamations of admira- 

 tion from all who see it. 25 cts. each. 



New and Rare Climbing Tea and Noisette Roses, 



CAROLINE MARNIESSE. ^.^^'"^^ ^''V^^'^^^^^^^u'' 



bloom. As a bedding Rose this 



variety has no superior. It is literally a continuous bloomer ; 

 when other Roses show only scattering blossoms, or none 

 at all, the rows of Caroline Marniesse are a perfect mass of 

 flowers. The blossoms are blush white, small but full, and 

 borne in very pretty clusters. The bush is low, growing 

 about 18 to 24 inches, and especially adapted for a border. 

 It is entirely hardy, having withstood unprotected a tem- 

 perature of twenty-five degrees below zero without the least 

 injury. 25 cts. each. 



CLIMBING LA FRANCE. 



This beautiful new Climbing 

 Hybrid Tea is a sport from that 

 grand variety, La France, and identical with it in every 

 particular save its climbing habit of growth. Beautiful in 

 form and color, an early and continuous bloomer, it stands 

 out as one of the most magnificent climbing Roses in cul- 

 tivation. It is a strong rapid grower, producing its splendid 

 large delicate silvery pink flowers in great abundance. Re- 



New Bourbon and China Roses. 



RERTHA CLAVEL {Striped Malmaison). This superb 



. new variety is a sport from that famous 



old Rose, Souvenir de la Malmaison, from which it inherits 

 vigor of growth, freedom of bloom and fine large flowers. 

 The color is creamy white with rose centre, reverse of 

 petals striped carmine and light rose — a beautiful combina- 

 tion. Fine for outdoor cultivation. 20 cts. each. 



CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA \Y'''^'^ Malmaison).

 son except in color of flower ; this fact alone will make it

 yellow. It is wonderfully free flowering, and in open 

 ground is excellent. Fully as good as Malmaison, and a

 riety of its class ; vigorous grower and good habit. The

 white, tipped with deep rosy pink. A splendid constant- 

 flowering decorative Rose. Much more like a fine Tea 

 than a China in character of bloom, 25 cts. each.

' ^ marked value. It is a strong rampant

 blooms with the greatest freedom, having good -sized 

 orange-yellow flowers, that shade darker towards the cen- 

 tre. An exceedingly fine Rose of much merit. 25 cts. each.

 green. A choice variety in every way. 20 cts. each. 



Climbing Polyantha Roses. 



CLAIRE JACOUIER ^^^^ good old standard variety has 



'- been brought into prominence in 



Europe because of its resemblance to Crimson Rambler in 

 growth and habit of flowering. The small nankeen-yellow 

 flowers are produced profusely in large clusters like Crim- 

 son Rambler, with which they contrast well. It is exceed- 

 ingly pretty and hardy ; it climbs rapidly and blooms early 

 and continuously, 25 cts. each. 



MAX SINGER This Rose is comparatively new, but we do 

 '- not find it offered by any one in this coun- 

 try. It is altogether a rather remarkable variety. It is a 

 strong healthy climber, with foliage resembling the hardiest 

 Hybrid Perpetual ; it is large and heavy, of splendid tex- 

 ture. The flowers are produced very freely, are of medium 

 size and in color are light red. It is hardy with moderate 

 protection. A splendid companion to Climbing White 

 Pet. We predict that this will become a popular variety 

 when it becomes known, 25 cts, each.

This fine hardy free-flowering 

 garden Rose is a cross between 

 Rugosa Rosea and Harrison's Yellow, both remarkably 

 hardy vigorous varieties, and is fully as hardy as either.

 what similar to the Rugosa. Flowers large, semi- double; 

 fine in the bud state. A remarkably free bloomer, and con- 

 tinues in bloom a long time. Color rich deep crimson.
