SHRUB ROSES 



We group under this heading various types and species of Roses that are of strong habit of growth and will be found 

 especially adapted to plant in mixed Shrubbery Borders, or in separate beds or groupings or as individual specimens in the garden. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids 



Agnes. Copper yellow buds and flowers turning to amber yellow as they 

 develop, the only Rugosa of a yellow color. The flowers are of good size for 

 this type, sweetly scented and produced freely in early summer. $1.00 each. 

 Blanc Double de Coubert. Double pure white. 

 Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Clear, silvery rose. 

 Hansa. Attractive double reddish- violet. 



Red F. J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with 

 trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will have a fair conception 

 of this new hybrid variety. It is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed or in the shrubbery border or use it for an everblooming 

 hedge. Itis absolutely hardy and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 

 Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the above variety, except in 



color, which is a splendid clear pink. 

 Rugosa. Large single rosy carmine. 

 —Alba. Large single white. 



Price, except where otherwise noted, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 

 per 100. One each of the 8 varieties for $6.00. 



Hybrid -Musk Roses 



Perpetual flowering Roses of shrub-like habit, valuable for planting in the 

 shrubbery, being particularly attractive in the fall. 



Cornelia. Always in bloom, with fragrant rosette shaped flowers about 3 

 inches in diameter, borne in clusters. Color strawberry flushed yellow. 



Penelope. Semi-double, shell pink flowers shaded saffron, borne in branched 

 clusters. Growth vigorous, nearly always in bloom. 

 Price. Either variety, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Trailing Hybrid-Rugosa Rose 

 Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found 

 most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is far superior 

 to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa 

 Rugosa, is retained very late in the season, it is practically immune 

 to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers are 

 large, single, bright pink with prettily crimped petals. For plant- 

 ing on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall, it has no 

 equal. 75 cts. each; $8.00 per doz.; $65.00 per 100. 



Rosa Hugonis 



Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit.

Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 

 lustre, the base of each petal is yellow.

 lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes tones with a most delicate 

 pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 

 Any of the above varieties, $1.00 each; one each of the 4 vari- 

 eties, $3.50.
