New Hybrid Rugosa Rose 

 F. J. Grootendorst 



This is a new type of Rose which might properly be called a 

 Rugosa Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the 

 crimson Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-lilce Rugosa Rose cov- 

 ered with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will 

 have a fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a 

 Rose that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated 

 specimen or in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or among 

 shrubs in the shrubbery border or use it for an everblooming hedge 

 for which purpose it is admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy 

 and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 

 per 100.

Trailing Rose, Max Gr.^f

Rosa Hugonis 



Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Presumed to be a cross between Rosa Rugosa and Setigera, 

 with large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the 

 pink form of Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to 

 its attractiveness. It makes an exceUent climber or pillar Rose, but it 

 appeals to us more particularly as a ground cover, for which purpose it is 

 superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembling Rosa 

 Rugosa, is retained very late in the season and is practically immune to 

 mildew, black spot and insects, and is perfectly hardy. For planting on a 

 steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall it has no equal. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Austrian Brier Roses 



Austrian Copper. Bright coppery-red, reverse of petals golden yellow. 

 Beaute de Lyon. Forms a large, globular flower of splendid shape, of a 



coral-red color shaded with yellow. 

 Harrison's Yellow. Fine double golden-yellow flowers. 

 Juliet. Outside of petals old gold, interior rich rosy-red changing to deep 



rose as the flowers expand; of delicious fragrance. 

 Persian Yellow. Medium sized deep yellow double flowers very hardy; 



to flower freely should receive little or no pruning. 

 Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; set of 5 varieties for $3.50. 



Rosa Hugonis 



This species, recently introduced from China, is unlike any other Rose. It 

 is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms symmetrical bushes 

 about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, and while not suited to plant 

 in the Rose border, it is an invaluable subject when planted in connection 

 with other shrubs or as single specimens in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching sprays early 

 in May, every branch of the previous season's growth becomes lined on both 

 sides to the very tips with these attractive flowers, and after it has finished 

 flowering it remains an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the 

 season; perfectly hardy. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 

 per doz.; $75.00 per 100.
