New Rose— "SANTA ROSA." 
(Hybrid Bourbon Tea.) 
The old favorite, ever-blooming rose Hermosa, introduced in 1840, is prob- 
ably the best known and most widely grown of the entire Rose family. It verv 
rarely produces seed, so that 
improved Hermosas have 
not made their appearance 
until Santa Rosa, now of- 
fered, which was grown from 
second generation Hermosa 
seed with an unusually fine 
semi - double, thick - petaled 
seedling of the well-known 
Bon Silene for the other 
parent. 
In Santa Rosa we have a 
rose wonderfully improved in 
size, brilliancy of color and 
perfection of form, with Her- 
mosa's reckless habit of 
blooming at all seasons. 
Every little plant commences 
to bloom as soon as it starts 
from a cutting, and the 
branches, roots, and even sin- 
gle buds take root and grow 
almost as freely as grass. 
Flowers rich shell pink, 
inclining to crimson, full, 
double reflexed petals. Plants 
grow in rather compact, 
(See also fourth page of cover.) , , , r > 
bushy form. 
Foliage always free from rust, mildew, or any defect. Not a transient nov- 
elty, but a rose for everybody everywhere. 
Strong field-grown bushes. 
Each, $1; per ten, $5; per hundred, $40. 
To South American, Australasian, East Indian and African purchasers we 
will send value of remittances in partially dormant cuttings at the proper season, 
as it is very difficult to ship growing Roses through the tropics safely. We ship 
dormant grafts, cuttings, nuts, seeds, bulbs, etc., safely everywhere in metallic 
packages by mail.
