Sixteen Selected Rose Plants 



Given for a Club of Only Eight Yearly Subscribers 

 for THE FLORAL WORLD. 



Premium 29. 



Mosella— The center is deep orange-yellow, 

 shading to lighter lemon-yellow on edge of 

 petals. It is a remarkably free bloomer; flowers 

 of the largest size. 



Laevigata— A new, hardy, evergreen Japanese 

 Rose with the most beautiful, heavy, dark, 

 glossy-green foliage that is as bright and showy 

 in Winter out of doors as it is in Summer. The 

 plant trails over the ground, the runners grow- 

 ing six to ten feet in a season. 



Climbing Bridesmaid— The flowers are simply 

 beautiful (identical with Bridesmaid). A clear, 

 dark pink. In bud they are superb beyond that 

 of any other Climbing Rose. Bridesmaid is con- 

 sidered the most beautiful of all pink Roses, 

 and in Climbing Bridesmaid you have all this 

 beauty coupled with a rampant climber. 



Norma— Is a Rose at once unique and valuable, 

 having the vigor, strength and hardiness of a 

 Hybrid Perennial, an enormous flower like the 

 American Beauty, and the perpetual blooming 

 qualities of Tea Rose. From our experience 

 with it we are satisfied that it is the grandest 

 Rose ever introduced. 



Bridesmaid — This Rose is fast superseding Cath- 

 erine Mermet. Identical with it in growth and 

 shape of flower, difl'ering only in its color, which 

 is the most charming pink imaginable. 



New Climbing Red Rose, Climbing Souvenir De 

 Wooton— It is a very strong, rapid grower, throw- 

 ing out thick canes and bearing large clusters 

 of deep violet-crimson flowers. As a free- 

 blooming red climber has always been in great 

 demand. 



Antoine Rivoire — A handsome new Rose of 

 vigorous growth, with large, full. Camellia- 

 shaped flowers. Color, rosy flesh, on a yellow 

 ground, shaded with a border of carmine; flow- 

 ers five inches in diameter. A remarkable va- 

 riety of great worth 



Beaute Inconstant— (The Rose of many colors.) 

 A single plant will bear flowers ranging in color 

 from coppery-yellow, blush pink, carmine and 



apricot to light crimson. The bud is especially 

 fine, keeping a coppery-orange-scarlet, all the 

 variations of color are to be found in the open 

 flower. 



Crown Princess Victoria — (Bourbon.) '-White 

 Malmaison." The bud, which is slightly tinted 

 yellow, opens out into a flne double pure white 

 flower. Very fragrant. 



White Maman Cochet— The finest Rose of the 

 year. Like its parent the growth is vigorous, 

 with rich, healthy foliage, introducing large, 

 fine flowers of the purest white. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria — Color, delicate 

 creamy-white, deliciously fragrant. The plant 

 is a strong healthy grower and constant bloom- 

 er. The flowers are on strong, stifl' stems, with 

 rich, glossy foliage, making it one of the finest 

 Roses for corsage wear. 



Helena Gambler- Of medium size, very full and 

 of varying colors, from salmon-rose to coppery- 

 rose, often of a handsome safl'ron hue, becoming 

 lighter as the flowers open. A fine sort. 



Red Marechal Niel — The Yellow Marechal 

 Niel has been known from time immemorial as 

 one of the most fragrant and delightful of all 

 Roses. The red one is a cross between the old 

 Marechal Niel and the equally well-known and 

 desirable Rose, Gen. Jacqueminot. Color a 

 bright carmine-red, shading to pink. 



Triumphe de Pernet Pere— The flowers are extra 

 large, having broad, thick petals and long taper- 

 ing buds; color, fine, clear magenta red. 



Papa Gontier -A grand red Tea Rose of fine 

 crimson shade and silken texture. The bud is 

 flne size and graceful form. 



Psyche, The New Rambler Rose— A cross between 

 Crimson Rambler and the Polyanthe Rose 

 Golden Fairy. In growth and habit it much re- 

 sembles the Rambler. The flowers are produced 

 in clusters of eight to thirty-flve, and are two 

 to two and one-half inches across when fully 

 expanded.
