Lyonnaise, Prince Canaille de Rohan and TJlrich 

 B runner. 



This class is extremely well adapted for hedges, 

 growing as they do to a height of 4 to 5 feet. Very 

 hardy and need very little attention except pruning. 



Rugosas 



The Rugosas offered in our catalog are not to be 

 compared to the old Rugosa Rubra and Alba varieties 

 used so extensively as hedges They bloom only once 

 a year as does the June Rose, but the newer sorts are 

 almost everblooming and produce handsome double 

 blooms. They are extremely hardy and suitable for 

 any place where little attention can be given, such as 

 cemeteries, and parks. Sir Thomas Lipton, the white; 

 Conrad F. Meyer, silver rose; New Century, rosy 

 pink; Magnifica and Grootendorst, red. 



The Polyantha Roses 



A distinct species of rose introduced from Japan 

 ■many years ago. Distinguished by having numerous 

 very small flowers borne in panieled clusters. Dwarf 

 in growth. Free flowering. Suitable for mass effect. 

 The following are the leading varieties: Baby Doll, 

 Mile. Cecil Brunner, Perle D'Or. 



Dwarf Baby Ramblers 



These are a type of Polyantha Rose but more dwarf 

 in habit, 12 to 18 inches. Hardy and suitable for beds 

 or borders along walks, etc. Small blooms in immense 

 clusters. Always blooming. Those offered in catalog 

 are the standard sorts, all good. 



Climbing or Rambling Roses 



The varieties listed in our New Guide to Rose 

 Culture as Hardy Climbers are those botanically 

 known as Multiflora Hybrids and Wichuriana Hy- 

 brids. There is so little difference between the 

 Ramblers (Multiflora) and the Hardy Climbers 



(Wichuriana) that it is very difficult for an amateur 

 to detect it. 



The Ramblers, such as the old variety of Crimson 

 Rambler, produce many small blooms in hea\ y clus- 

 ters, while the climbing roses produce larger blooms 

 and fewer on the stem. 



The Climbers are not so susceptible to mildew and 

 disease as the Ramblers, therefore much to be pre- 

 ferred. Some of the Hardy Climbers resemble the 

 Ramblers so closely that any one wanting them will 

 find a great improvement in such ("limbers as Excelsa, 

 Lady Gay, Newport Fairy, Hiawatha. 



Climbing Roses should all have some support such 

 as a pergola or arch. A wire fence where convenient 

 may be utilized with splendid effect. They also make 

 a good hedge using Excelsa, Newport Fairy, Tausend- 

 schon, Dorothy Perkins, Keystone, or Aunt Harriett. 



For pillars, roses like Paul's Scarlet, Birdie Blye, 

 Dr. Huey, Mary Lovett, Climbing American Beauty 

 are good. They may also be used as individual speci- 

 mens by pruning to a shape and size desired. For 

 good climbing roses for use anywhere: Dorothy Per- 

 kins, Climbing American Beauty, Christine Wright, 

 Mary Wallace, Jean Girin, Dr. Van Fleet, American 

 Pillar, Silver Moon, Tausendschon, Northern Light. 



Where less growth and more bloom is desired we 

 recommend the Climbing Hybrid Teas. They pro- 

 duce the fine blooms of the bush Hybrid Tea, but arc 

 fairly good climbing roses. They make a gorgeous 

 sight at the natural blooming period and if pruned will 

 bloom again, but not so profusely as at first. Most of 

 them are hardy enough to stand moderate winters 

 without much damage. We recommend the varieties 

 like Climbing Gruss an Teplitz, Climbing Columbia, 

 Climbing Sunburst, Climbing Lady Hillingdon, 

 Climbing Mme. Caroline Testout, Climbing Killarney, 

 white and pink; Mrs. Robert Peary, Climbing Cochet, 

 pink and white. For the South such climbers as 

 Marechal Neil, William Allen Richardson, Allister 

 Stella Gray, Climbing Marie Guillot.
