HARDY GARDEN ROSES 



THE beauty of the Rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity 

 it now enjoys and the demand for Hardy Garden Roses is annually 

 increasing. In old-fashioned gardens, in borders, along garden walks 

 or on arbors the sweet perfume of blooming roses is a source of constant 

 delight to all who grow them. 



The varieties listed under the heading of Bush Roses are very useful 

 when grouped among shrubbery; but the Hybrid Perpetual, Tea and 

 Hybrid Tea varieties will do best if planted by themselves. Almost 

 every house has space for a small rose garden; the beauty and enjoyment 

 that they create beget a love and devotion that one never forgets. All 

 of our Hybrid Perpetuals, Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses are budded on 

 Manetti stock. It has been found that many varieties of roses grown on 

 this stock are more hardy and bloom more profusely and are far better 

 than if grown on their own roots. Budded roses should be planted suffi- 

 ciently deep so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from two to 

 three inches below the surface of the earth. 



Our potted roses have been pruned, and will need no further care in 

 this respect the first year. The quality of bloom depends a great deal on 

 pruning, so in future years do not fail to have your plants properly pruned 

 early in the Spring. Tea roses do not require as severe trimming as the 

 Hybrid Perpetual and climbing roses. 



Your orders for the Hybrid Perpetual, Tea and Hybrid Tea, 

 Moss and miscellaneous roses will be filled with potted plants, 

 like the illustration. These potted plants have been properly 

 pruned, carefully started and will arrive in the best possible con- 

 dition to give you an immediate effect. Excepting in southern or 

 sheltered places we recommend planting after April 15. 



One of our Hybrid Perpetual Roses 

 ready to be boxed for shipment. The

 neat paper one substituted; thus in-

 about the roots, which reduces the 

 risk of transplanting to a minimum.
