 New Rugosa Rose, Had. Georges Bruant. 



63 



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-flowering qualities 

 of the Teas. The flowers are of large size, semi- double, and are pro- 

 duced with remarkable 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. 

 It makes a particularly fine plant for lawn decoration, being quite 

 hardy everywhere. This new Rugosa is one of the new plants that 

 we can strongly recommend to our friends. Strong young plants, 

 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. Large, strong two-year-old 

 plants, ready for immediate blooming, 75 cts. each. 



Polyantha Grandifiora.— Produces large panicles of white bramble- 

 like, semi-double flowers, produced in great profusion ; of climbing 

 habit and very hardy. Very beautiful. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts ■ 

 7for$i. 



Glorie des Rosomanes.— A beautiful variety, which cannot be had 

 elsewhere, it being exceedingly scarce and consequently very valu- 

 able. The flowers are large, semi-double, and are produced in great 

 profusion until late in Autumn. It is one of the finest Autumnal 

 bloomers. The handsome flowers are so perfect that we are sure 

 this variety will delight all who plant it. Strong plants, 20 cts. each ; 

 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. 



Agnes Emily Carman.— This fine hardy free-fiowering garden 

 Rose is a cross between Rugosa Rosea and Harrison's Yellow, both 

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

 The growth is robust, with dense rich heavy foliage, somewhat simi- 

 lar to the Rugosa. Flowers large, semi-double ; fine in the bud 

 state. A remarkably free bloomer, and continues in bloom a long 

 time. Color rich deep crimson. 25 cts. each. 



ROSA RUGOSA RUBRA. 



NEW RUGOSA ROSE, MAD. GEORGES BRUANT. 



English Sweetbrier Rose. 



A fine old favorite ; desirable for shrubberies and general 

 planting; the flowers are bright pink and singte ; the fragrance 

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

 frequently perfumes a whole neighborhood and is truly delight- 

 ful. Large plants, 25 cts. each. 



The Cherokee Rose. 



A strong, erect-growing shrub, with deep glossy green leaves, 

 and bearing large pure white Roses in great profusion ; the 

 flowers are double, very beautiful and wax-like. It is much 

 esteemed in many parts of the South and Southwest, where it 

 is extensively used for hedges, etc. It is a beautiful shrub and 



worthy of more general planting. Requires protection in Winter north 



of Washington, D. C. 20 cts. each. 



Cooling's Single Crimson Bedder. 



A very charming addition to single garden Roses, now so popular. This 

 variety is entirely distinct to any variety at present in cultivation. It is a 

 real perpetual bloomer, producing continuously a prodigious number of 

 flowers from early May until severe frost. A bed of this Rose in bloom 

 presents a beautiful sight — a solid sheet of glowing crimson color. It is 

 of semi-dwarf habit of growth, making it an excellent bedding Rose. It 

 has the habit of growth of the Hybrid Perpetuals, free and robust, and 

 with good protection should be entirely hardy. The color of flower is a 

 beautiful glowing crimson ; the flowers are large and produced in clusters, 

 and appear to last longer than any other single variety we know. F01 

 bedding or for single specimens, and for cutting for vases, this fascinating 

 new single Rose is a great acquisition. Strong young plants, 25 cts. each ; 

 3 for 60 cts.; 5 for $1 ; $2 per dozen. 



Rosa Rugosa Rubra. 



This handsome Ramona or Rugosa Rose still maintains the prestige to 

 which its admirable qualities entitle it. It is a rapid grower, of neat, uni- 

 form, compact and sturdy habit, attaining a height of 5 to 6 feet ; perfectly 

 hardy, rendering it available for impenetrable ornamental hedge?, for which 

 purpose it is unexcelled. The foliage exhibits a mass of dense, luxuriant. 

 glossy green. The flowers are large and single and the perfection of form and 

 color, and are produced continuously throughout the season and until late in 

 the Autumn, and as they mature are replaced by small, glossy red apples. The 

 color is bright shining crimson, wonderfully beautiful.
