early bloomer. Season of flower June and 
July. "The hardy yellow Kose of our mother's 
garden." If pruned too closely, they will nut 
bloom, as the tlowers are jirodui-ed from the 
terminal shoots of the old wood, so only short- 
ten a few inches the shoots left for flowering. 
Prince Camille de Rohan. H. P. 
Darkest red. A magniticent Rose, and very 
desirable for its lari;e, handsome, fragrant 
flowers, which are produced so abundantly. 
Color is a deep, rich, velvety crimson, which 
runs into a deep maroon, shaded black ; in 
fact, it appears black at a short distance. 
Princess Adelaide. M. Pink. Flower 
of medium size and good form. Pale rose 
color. Good in bud or flower. Hardy. Foli- 
age very blotched or variegated. Should not 
be pruned severely. Blooms in June and July. 
Queen of the Prairie. C. Red. Of 
rapid growth, and with luxuriant foliage. 
Flowers bright, rosy red, sometimes striped 
with white, produced in large clusters. 
Blooms in June and July. Pretty on porches 
or trained to pillars. Hardy. When it is de- 
sired to cover walls, unsightly buildings, etc., 
this and the Crimson Rambler, Baltimore Belle, 
and Gem of the Prairie are very efficient. 
Rugosa Roses. Hardy. The plant is 
highly ornamental on account of its good habit 
and beautiful glossy foliage. We have the 
Rugosa alba, with single, pure white flowers 
of five petals ; highly scented. AKso the 
Rugosa rubra, with single, beautiful bright, 
ro.sy crimson flowers, succeeded by large ber- 
ries of a rich, rosy red color, which are a 
great addition to the oniamental character of 
the plant. (See also Mme. George Bruant's de- 
scription.) All of Japanese origin. 
Salet. M. Bright red. Flower full, pret- 
ty in the bud; an abundant bloomer. Flowers 
in the autumn, and valuable, as they come at a 
time of the year when "summer" Mo.ss Roses 
are not to be had. Hardy. Good, fail' grower. 
Souvenir de la Malmaison. T. Pinkish 
white. Color a delicate flesh, shaded with fawn, 
flower flat in form; very large for a Tea. A 
moderate grower. Plant not quite hardy, but 
a slight protection is suflScient in the winter. 
A continual bloomer at intervals from June to 
November, with rich, lu.\uriant foliage, and is 
most beautiful in the autumn. Flowers for 
the most part are produced in clusters, well 
shaped and somewhat fragrant. Suitable for 
planting singly or for low beds on the lawn. 
TREE ROSE. These are grafted on tall 
stems of the Dog Rose, forming a half-weeping 
head 4 to 6 feet from the ground. They can 
be furnished in dark and light colors only, but 
the particular varieties grafted in the head 
cannot be named. Orders must be by color 
only, thus: "Tree Rose, Light," or "Tree 
Rose, Dark." One color only on each tree. 
Ulrich Brunner. H. P. Red. Raised 
from Paul Neyron. Brilliant cherry red, a very 
efl'ective color ; flowers of fine form and finish, 
carried well upon jilant ; petals of great sub- 
stance ; plant vigorous, hardy; resists mildew. 
Victor Verdier. //. /'. Red. Bright rose, 
carmine center, a very fresh shade of color; 
not fragrant;free bloomer; wood nearly smooth. 
This variety, with its numerous progeny, is 
more tender than any of the other types in the 
class. A beautiful Rose. 
White Rambler. C. White. This Rose 
is a valuable addition to the list of climbers. 
Hardy. The flowers are of the purest snow- 
white, blooming in clusters, completely cover- 
ing the plant as the Crims<m Rambler does. 
Blooms about the middle of June, the flowers 
remainmg on the plant four or five weeks. 
WICHURAIANA, Trailing or Creeping 
Rose. A low, trailing species, its stems 
cree])ing on the earth almost as closely as the 
Ivy. The flowers are produced in the greatest 
profusion, in clusters on the end of every 
In-anch, after the June Roses are past, from 
the first week in July, throughout the month. 
They are pure white, IJ to 2 inches across, 
with yellow stamens, and having the strong 
fragrance of the Banksia Rose. It is quite 
hardy, with the excejition of the latest imma- 
ture growth, which may be cut back to some 
extent. This variety has proved valuable for 
covering banks, rockeries, etc., and for cemeter- 
ies. A distinct, valuable variety from Japan. 
Yellow Rambler. 
Yellow Rambler. C. Yellow. Markedly 
similar to the Crimson Rambler. Flower is 2 
to 2| indues in diameter, growing in clusters 
of from 20 to .50. Yellow in the bud, but 
cream-white when fully open. Beautifully fra- 
grant. Hardy. Plant vigorous and free- 
blooming, and the flowers remaining on the 
bush for weeks. A hu.sh in full bloom is one 
of the most beautiful sights imaginable.
