Rosa rugosa, .Blanc Double de Coubert. Block of this and the Belle Poitevine in our nursery. Photographed in 
August, when most of the double Roses are unsightly semi-bare little bushes with foliage despoiled by insects and fungi. We 
believe that this stock offers an unparalleled opportunity to secure these varieties. They are on their own roots and purchasers 
may extend their plantations without expense by transplanting the suckers. 
Hardy Roses 
The short list of Roses we offer includes those 
varieties that are most popular because of their 
beauty and hardiness in this climate. If a greater 
variety is desired we will procure them. The hybrid 
perpetuals bloom abundantly in June and occasion- 
ally during the summer and fall. 
Anne de Diesbach. Carmine. A large, beautiful 
and fragrant rose. Plant vigorous. 
Baron de Bonstetten. Velvety maroon. One of 
the richest dark Roses. 
Baroness Rothschild. Delicate pink. Large, full 
flowers, growing closely against the smooth, light 
green leaves. Very choice and beautiful. Not 
fragrant . 
Francois Levet. Cherry-red. A valuable Rose 
from its strong growth and free-blooming habit. 
General Jacqueminot. Brilliant crimson. This is 
perhaps the most popular Rose. A vigorous 
plant, with abundant large, fragrant blooms. 
Hermosa. Bright rose-pink. One of the best bed- 
ding Roses that blooms constantly from June till 
October. A small, compact plant. 
Jules Margottin. Carmine-rose. This grows to be 
a bush 5 to 6 feet high and wide, with luxuriant 
foliage and abundant blossoms. 
Madame Gabriel Luizet. Silvery pink. A beauti- 
ful Rose. Slightly fragrant. 
Madame Plantier. Pure white. Foliage and stem 
light green. This makes a large bush that is 
useful for hedges or for massing in shrubbery. 
The white blossoms are borne in large clusters.
