ROSES. 
HARDV GARDEN ROSBS, 
The following Roses are hardy, but it is better to protect in winter in northern states. 
Evergreen Gem (new). A wonderful new hardy Rose, with sweetbriar fragrant foliage of a 
bronzy color; flowers on single stems, perfectly double; color, yellow, shaded buff, changing to white. 
This is a very strong climbing rose; will grow where any sort will, and is very fine for trailing on ground, 
for trellises, and fine for cut flowers. Price 60 As. 
South Orange Perfection. This is a gem, growing freely, and having multitudes of the most 
perfectly formed double flowers, about one and a half inches in diameter, soft blush pink at the tips, chang- 
ing to white. Price 15 As. 
Pink Roamer, The single flowers, which are produced in close heads, are nearly two inches in 
diameter, bright rich pink, with almost a white center, which lightens up the orange-red stamens, produc- 
ing an effect which, combined with fragrance, makes it one of the most valuable roses. Price 15 As. 
Manda's Triumph. This grand Rose is of free growth, luxuriant foliage, has large clusters of 
double pure white flowers, beautifully imbricated, two inches in diameter; sweetly scented. Price 15 As. 
Universal Favorite. Very vigorous. The double flowers are over two inches in diameter, and of 
a beautiful rose color, similar to the “ Bridesmaid,” and deliciously fragrant. Price 15 As. 
The habits of the above five new Roses are the same as the Rose Wichuriana, or Memorial Rose, of 
•which they are hybrids. The growth is creeping, and therefore can be used to cover ground, stems of 
trees, pillars, posts, trellises or any other purpose desired, including pot culture. They are the hardiest 
Roses known, and will stand any climate or exposure, and will thrive in the poorest soil. The flowers are 
produced in the greatest profusion ; deliciously fragrant and last a long time in perfection. 
Wichuriana (New Japanese Creeping Rose, also known as Memorial Rose), A low, trailing 
species, its stems creeping on the earth as closely as Ivy, and forming a dense mat of very dark green lus- 
trous foliage. The flowers are produced in greatest profusion, in clusters, after the June Roses are past, 
and continue during the season. Pure white, from one and one-half to two inches across, and very fra- 
grant. Valuable for covering banks, rockeries, slopes and beds among shrubs; also fine for trellises, cov- 
ering buildings, fences and stumps; extremely hardy. Price 10 As. 
Yellow Rambler (Aglaia). This new hybrid Noisette produces its flowers in thesame manner as 
the popular “Crimson Rambler” — that is, in large pyramidal shaped trusses, frequently being from fifty 
to one hundred flowers in a truss. In color, it is a decided yellow, with moderate sized cup-shaped, nearly 
full flowers, which are sweetly scented. Its habit of growth is very strong, frequently making shoots of 
ejght to ten feet in one season. This is as hardy as “Crimson Rambler,” and possibly more so; not yet 
fully tested by us. Price 15 As. 
Crimson Rambler. This is undoubtedly the greatest acquisition in a climbing Rose introduced 
for many years. It is of vigorous growth, making shoots from four to ten feet in height during a season, 
and is consequently a most desirable climbing variety. As a pot plant it is unequaled for decorative pur- 
poses. The flowers w'ith which the plant is covered in the spring are produced in large trusses of pyra- 
midal form, and of the brighest crimson color. The blooms remain on the plant for a great length of time 
without losing their brightness. It is hardy, having withstood the test in exposed situations two winters, 
but it should have protection in extreme North. Price 15 As. 
Mme, Chas. Wood. One of the best Roses for general planting ever introduced ; the flower is 
extra large, full ^d double; color, deep rosy crimson; sometimes brilliant scarlet with maroon shading. 
A constant and profuse bloomer. Price 20 As. 
American Beauty. The largest Rose and the most vigorous growing by far among continuously 
blooming Roses, throwing up very strong stems from the base of the plant, every shoot terminating with a 
single flower, which is of the largest size. Color, deep rose. In foliage and size of flower it resembles 
the large Hybrid Perpetual. It is as fragrant as the most fragrant of hardy Roses. Price 30 As. 
Magna Charta. A splendid sort. Bright clear pink, flushed with violet-crimson; very sweet; 
flowers extra large; fine form; very double and full; a free bloomer. Price 30 As.
