ROSES 
3 
HERMOSA—(China) —One of the very old garden roses with medium to 
small, very double, bright pink, sweet scented flowers born in clusters abund¬ 
antly all the season. It is a moderate grower but hardy. It is especially good 
for garden decoration, but rather short-stemmed for full satisfaction in cutting. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA—(Hybrid Tea)— Beautiful buds; full 
rounded blooms of pure white or cream, with occasionally a slight blush on 
the outside. It is a free and constant bloomer with upright strong growth, dark 
green foliage and is hardy. It is useful as a cut flower and for garden decoration. 
WHITE COCHET—(Tea) —Long pointed buds and large full snow-white 
flowers, sweet scented and of great substance. The outsides of the outer petals 
range from pink to deep pink, the degree probably being influenced somewhat 
by the season. It is free-flowering, a constant bloomer and vigorous grower 
though the branches are slender, and the bush is much branched and spreading. 
It is hardy and adapted both for garden decoration and for cutting, even though 
the stems are not so long and stiff as those of some other varieties. 
OPHELIA—(Hybrid Tea) —A large fully formed blush rose shading to 
yellow. The foliage is dark green and healthy, the stems long, flowers con¬ 
tinuous and abundant. It may possibly be not quite so hardy as the other 
roses described but is worthy of a place in every garden. It is especially 
good for cutting. 
MRS. A. R. WADDELL—(Hybrid Tea) —Buds apricot or salmon with a 
golden sheen; especially beautiful when half open, the fully open flowers that 
follow being orange-salmon, loose petaled, and graceful It is a constant 
bloomer and free flowering. The bushes are upright, well formed, vigorous and 
hardy with good foliage. It is especially useful for cutting, but also suitable 
for garden decoration. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ—(Hybrid Tea) —A beautiful clear permanent 
crimson-scarlet rose that is a trifle more than semi-double. Its flowers are 
borne three or four to a stem, opening a few days apart, so that it is not so 
satisfactory for cutting as some others. But because of its brilliant color, 
number of flowers, and constancy of bloom from May till frost, it is de¬ 
servedly prized for garden decoration. The foliage is a dark bronzy-green and 
abundant, the bush is a free grower and hardy. 
RED RADIANCE—(Hybrid Tea) —A large globular deep red rose that 
holds its color. It is a free and constant bloomer throughout the season, has 
dark green healthy foliage, is a strong upright grower and is hardy. One of 
the best for cutting and bedding, and equal to its worthy parent Radiance. 
HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 
For decoration of the home grounds, the Climbing Roses, or Ramblers, as 
they are often called, may be used for positions where the less vigorous and 
hardy Bush Roses would be unable to serve. The varieties given below may be 
used to cover fences, arbors, pergolas, lattice screens, unsightly stumps, for 
holding the earth on steep banks, etc., as shrubs on the lawn or in the garden or 
border. All are vigorous and hardy, and bloom—just once—in such profusion 
as to make in their season as gorgeous a display of flowers as is possible with 
any ornamental plant. 
We are often asked by our friends for Everblooming Climbers, hardy in 
this climate, and suitable for use as shrubs or vines. Such a plant would indeed 
be a fine thing, and we do not say that it cannot be produced, but it has not 
yet been thoroughly worked out by the plant breeders. For the present, 
perhaps, we had better grow the Climbers and the Everblooming Roses as 
distinct classes. 
Plant breeders have worked with the Climbing Roses with much success, 
and the result is that now we have them in all the colors possible to the Rose; 
by a careful selection of varieties a period of nearly two months of lovely 
bloom may be obtained through a succession of sorts.
