MISCELLANEOUS ROSES 



Hermosa. Bourbon-China. Bright rose-pink. One of 

 the best of all bedding Roses, which blooms constantly 

 from June till October. A small, compact plant. 



Rosa rugosa. Worthy of a position amidst the best archi- 

 tecture, out on a rough hill-side or on the beach. 



In the background are tall Cedars and a flat-topped Cedar 

 hedge planted by our movers to separate the terrace from 

 the service entrance. Residence of Mr. W. P. Thompson, 

 Westbury, Long Island. 



Rosa rugosa as a shrub is especially valuable 

 because its foliage is always dark and solid and is never dis- 

 figured by mildew or insects. In the circle, Rosa rugosa, double 

 white (Blanc Double de Coubert). 



MISCELLANEOUS ROSES, continued 

 Crimson Baby Rambler. A dwarf Crimson Rambler, 

 which grows about 15 inches high and blooms continuously 

 throughout the summer. In midsummer the blossoms 

 fade, but with the cooler autumn weather they regain 

 their brilliancy. 



Madame Cutbush. One of the new Roses of the Baby 

 Rambler class, having delicate pink blossoms shaded with 

 rose. 



Princess Adelaide. Moss Rose. Delicate rose-color. 



The buds are well covered with mossj foliage is dark. 



Persian Yellow. A thorny bush with delicate foliage, 

 bearing a profusion of small, bright yellow Roses clustered 

 thickly along the branches. A favorite in old-time gardens. 

 Very hardy. 



ROSA RUGOSA • Japanese Rose 



Roses are usually thought of as of value for their 

 flowers only, their foliage being of doubtful healthfulness, 

 and if unsightly in midsummer, they repay us by their 

 beautiful flowers. The Rosa rugosa, R. Wichuraiana and 

 R. muUiflora, all from eastern Asia, bid fair to change all 

 this. They are perfectly healthy in foliage, are handsome 

 all through the summer and need no protection to prevent 

 killing back in the winter. 



The form of the Rosa rugosa bush is broad and rounded, 

 4 to 6 feet high and equally broad. It is solid and dense 

 from the ground up. The foliage is dark green, shiny, 

 and the leaves are rugose or ridged between the veins. 



Rapid strides are being made by plant-breeders in this 

 country and Europe in introducing new varieties with 

 improvements in colors, size and doubling of the flowers. 



The Rosa rugosa begins to bloom about May 15 and 

 blooms again during August and September. A good 

 way to increase the amount of this midsummer blooming 

 is to cut back the plants nearly to the ground or half- 

 way in the winter. Some can be cut back in June. This 

 cutting back is beneficial, at least once in two or three 

 years, to make the plants more compact. The red fruits 

 are like little apples, about i inch in diameter, and are 

 verv showy, being in large clusters.
