ROSA RUGOSA. 
This is a very interesting group, of 
Japanese origin. The flowers are mostly 
single. The plant is highly ornamental 
on account of its good habit and beauti- 
ful glossy foliage. 
Madam G. Bruant — One of the first of a 
now race of hybrids. Semi-double; 
pure white, fragrant, and produced 
freely in clusters at intervals 
throughout the summer; exception- 
all}' hardy and vigorous. 
Rugosa Rose — (D. L. Hay) — This new 
Rose has rugosa foliage like the 
single Rugosas. It flowers in large 
clusters of double deep-red flowers, 
which is followed by large clusters 
of seeds. It withstands the coldest 
weather without injury, and we rec- 
ommend it as very desirable. 
Rugosa Rubra — Another Japan variety. 
Flowers single, of a most beautiful 
bright rosy crimson, succeeded by 
large berries of a rich rosy red color. 
Rugosa Alba — A species from Japan. 
Single, pure white flowers of five 
petals; highly scented; a splendid 
shrub. 
MOSS ROSES 
Blanche Moreau — Pure white, large, full 
and of perfect form; the buds and 
flowers produced in clusters and 
freely furnished with a deep green 
moss" A valuable variety. 
Blanche Robert — Flower pure white, large 
and full; buds very beautiful. A 
rampant grower, being almost as vig- 
orous as a climber.

very desirable; the finest white moss.

beautiful and fragrant; growth slen- 
der.

June to November. 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
Baltimore Belle — Pale blush, nearly 
white; double; the best white climb- 
ing rose. 
Crimson Rambler — (Climbing Polyantha) 
— A wonderful rose from Japan, 
bearing immense trusses of deep 
crimson flowers, which hold their 
beautiful color a long time without 
fading. The plant is a very vigorous 
grower and thus makes a splendid 
climbing rose, though it may also be 
grown in bush or pillar form. When 
in full bloom and covered as it is 
with its great trusses of flowers, con- 
taining thirty to fifty blossoms each, 
it is a most magnificent sight. It has 
proved entirely hardy in this coun- 
try, and is a very great acquisition 
to our rose garden. 
Climbing Jules Margottin — -Carmine rose, 
fine in open flower and in bud; the 
best of all climbing sorts. It may be 
grown either as a Pillar Rose or by 
pruning, kept in bush form, it should 
be in every collection. 
Dorothy Perkins — A hybrid of Rosa 
Wichuraiana and Mine. Gabriel 
Luizet. In its foliage, growth, and 
habit of blooming, it is remarkably 
like Crimson Rambler, but the flow- 
ers are more double and of a beauti- 
ful shell-pink color, and hold a long 
time without fading. The flowers are 
also very sweetly scented, a charac- 
teristic not possessed by most other 
Roses of the Rambler family.
