Always a favorite in the South and the best of all pink 
Hybrid Perpetual roses for this section. Best and 
freest bloomers of all the hybrids in the South; in fact, almost as free in 
blooming as the teas and hybrid teas. Flowers are immense and borne on 
long stiff stems that are fine for cutting. This is said to be the largest flow¬ 
ered of all roses. 
ftanaral larnnaminnt A rose with a world wide reputation 
Ucllcrdl Jdl>(|UcllllllUl and fame with its very full double flow¬ 
ers of the deepest shade of velvety crimson. While not the freest of bloom¬ 
ers the superb flowers well repay one for having a plant of it in their col¬ 
lection of roses. 
U Kl . cmU|/i Also known under the name of White 
ridU radii l/rU9Clini American Beauty. A grand white Hybrid 
Perpetual rose—the best snow white rose of its class ever introduced. An 
extraordinary hardy grower with magnificent white flowers that are noth¬ 
ing less than glorious. Color is a marvelous pure white without a shade or 
tinge of any other color. A true paper white, the standard by which all 
white roses are judged. 
Uauu/avr) Ranks right up with Frau Druschki except in 
vd)lldlll ndyndru color, which is a bright glowing crimson. Of 
the largest size, color rich and glowing. We know of no red Hybrid rose that 
in any way compares with it in color or freedom of bloom and vigor. 
Prinro ramillo Ho Rohan Tbe last on our list of hybrids 
rlinCc Vdlulllc Uts nuildll and in some respects our best. 
A fine vigorous grower with large double flowers of fine form and of deep 
velvet maroon color. Perhaps the best of all the dark colored hardy roses, 
with the possible exception of General Jacqueminot. 
M.. e r n | ou Mnhhc A rose first introduced in 1010 and it is really 
■ wltSjr I 1 UUU 3 a SU p er b variety and a giant among the Tea 
roses. Its huge, thick shell shaped petals create a bloom of exceptional mer¬ 
it; in color a most delicate ivory white, faintly tinged with pink on the edge 
of the petals. Has a delicious perfume. Really this new rose stands with¬ 
out a rival in its class. 
T—f J. You may or may not like our ex-president and his 
r rcsIUclll laic policies, but if you grow this rose named in his 
honor you will certainly agree that it is a rose well worth while. Originating 
in President Taft’s old home in Ohio it is beyond question one of the most 
remarkable and beautiful of the free blooming pink roses. It has a deep, 
shining pink color that is possessed by no other rose. A fine grower, free 
bloomer, of good size, form and fragrance, and so far as pink color is con¬ 
cerned it is really in a class by itself. 
Another superb scarlet bedding rose. While it produces only 
tCdlldlc medium sized flowers, it is of such a brilliant scarlet in color 
and such an incessant and constant bloomer that we consider it one of the 
best of our scarlet bedding roses. 
I arlu Uatheifina Da C a A splendid new hybrid tea rose first m- 
LdQj rvainerme nose trodueed in 1911. Of French origin and 
of the most distinct and delicate pink color imaginable. Petals are distinct 
and has a most delicious tea fragrance. This variety at once caught the at¬ 
tention of expert rose growers and we feel sure that you will be 
pleased with it when it finds a place in your collection. 
U Ke A 9 >nn lA/arH A real joy to the lover of fine roses, 
nmrs. Maron ward nn( j absolutely distinct. One of the 
most delightful roses of recent years in color. Coppery orange in 
the open bud, golden orange when partly developed, pinkish fawn 
of lovely shade when fully open, when it looks like a full fluffy-silk 
rosette. Color effect of the whole flower is Indian yellow. One of 
the most beautiful roses in existence. 
■U, Another splendid new pink rose. 
Mrs. uCOi 2lliaW^y©r extra strong grower and flow¬ 
ers are borne on long stiff stems. In color it is a bright peach pink. 
From the point of quality and production of bloom it is easily the 
peer of any pink rose in existence. You certainly don t want to 
miss having this variety in your rose garden if you appreciate qual¬ 
ity in the pink rose class. 
I »rlu nnuina A splendid bedding rose with large handsome 
Lady UvWIIC flowers on stiff stems. Of very peculiar color, 
being a rare and beautiful shade of buff. When fully open the cen¬ 
ter is deep yellow, maturing later into a pleasing light yellow shade. 
IklAUino A rose deserving of much greater planting 
WIII. Rolling than it has had. A first-class rose, and as a 
budding sort it has few if any equals. Flowers are large and full; 
1 bright rosy cerise color, with center of deeper shade. Sweetly per¬ 
fumed. You will like it. 
MOSS ROSES —Red, Pink and White 
While the generality of Moss Roses do not do so well in the South, 
*ve have found one of each color that has done well and can he plant¬ 
ed with reasonable assurance of success almost anywhere in the 
South. Moss roses are beautiful, peculiar in foliage and appearance 
and distinct. One or more of them should be found in every collec¬ 
tion. In ordering please specify color of bloom wanted. 
Climbing or Pillar Roses 
the climbing or pillar roses are more beautiful and useful than in 
the South. Porches need shading, unsightly fences need covering and 
arbors and passage ways need shading from summer sun. In addi¬ 
tion to needed shade comes abundance of beautiful fragrant bloom. 
UosAAlial MiaI When the last word has been said for all 
marecndl IvICI t j le other roses, we believe that every true 
lover of roses in the South will agree that there is no rose grown 
Climbing Roses on a Southern Home 
that will compare with this world-famous rose with its profusion 
of large, yellow globular flowers of sweetest fragrance. Perfectly 
hardy in the Gulf Coast sections. In the central and northern parts 
of the Cotton States it had best be planted in sheltered spots on the 
south side of buildings or arbors, where it can be protected from 
cold winter winds. 
A rose of the Marechal Niel class; a more 
vigorous grower with rather large sul- 
f'l-lL n i /* A |r| phur yellow, deep center flowers. A great 
UwlU favorite in Florida and Gulf Coast sections. 
Chromatella or 
Reine Marie Henrietta ^se av< Not e as po free a°bio p omlr 
as some, but the beauty of its large, double, cherry-red flowers more 
than make up in quality what it lacks in quantity. 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert fST,; 
close dense dark green foliage, and in season stems and foliage are 
almost covered over with the enormous clusters of medium sized, 
full white flowers with pale pink or flesh colored center. For porch¬ 
es, pillars, etc., Climbing Soupert is superb. 
THE BEST OF THE RAMBLER ROSES 
A distinct class of climbing roses that have become almost uni¬ 
versal favorites in recent years. We list below the five.Rambler 
varieties that we consider best for the South. 
The original Rambler rose and 
when in bloom the plants are a per¬ 
fect mass of brightest crimson color. 
nnvnlku Packing The favorite Rambler in this section

scented pink flowers. 
d|„ a DamhlaK Also known as the “Blue Rose” and “Viel- 
Biue nainuier chenblau.” A true Rambler Rose. Re¬ 
markably healthy and has flowers of a shade of violet blue. 
T-mcAnrlerhAail ° r “Thousand Beauties.” All colors of 
I all3CllUS4«IIUCII tender and bright rose and white, yel¬ 
low and other tints. A splendid rose. 
White Dorothy Perkins and Crimson Rambler in 
growth and freedom of bloom. Color white. The three colors of 
Ramblers make a splendid collection.
