Standard ROSES 
OAKLAND MUNICIPAL ROSE GARDEN 
This lovely garden is set in a natural amphitheater extending from Jean Street 
on the lower side to Oakland Avenue on the upper side. 
Commonly known as Tree Roses, Standards are lop-budded on 
vigorous stock. The standards we offer have well developed, two-year 
heads. These will be found to be much more satisfactory than the 
one-year heads commonly offered. 
Proper pruning is essential to success. Shorten in the head and 
thin out the plant. The first two seasons, wrap the stem with paper or 
burlap to prevent sunburn and cut away all suckers appearing below 
lhe crown.

rose-pink. The open flower is quite double 
with a golden glow shining up through the 
rose-pink petals. 75c.

buds, long-pointed and of medium size 
opening to moderately double flowers. 50c.

buds; double flowers of good form and 
texture; lasts a long time when cut. 60c.

cribed on page 28. 50c. 
The Queen Alexandra. H.T. Intense 
Vermillion on inside and old gold on reverse 
of petals, which spring from a deep orange 
base. Its moderate height and free-flowering 
habit make it an exceptionally good bedding 
rose. 50c.

tone pink rose of great beauty. Flowers are 
large and borne very freely. 60c.

vigorous and hardy. Exceptionally good as 
a hedge rose. 50c. 
♦Vaterland. H.T. (1928) A strong growing 
rose larger and darker than Hadley. Buds 
ovoid; flowers very double. Except for a 
tendency to burn in strong sun, it is the 
most beautiful of the verv dark red roses 
60c 
Vesuvius. H.T. Shapely buds, opening to 
dark red single blooms with showy yellow 
stamens; exquisitely fragrant. A very 
vigorous grower and blooms much more 
profusely than other single roses. 50c. 
♦Yosemite. (1933) We like this little rose 
very much. Buds are beautifully formed, 
coppery-orange in color, opening to fully 
double blooms of orange-scarlet It blooms 
cheerfully throughout the season. Foliage 
is very healthy. Patented. SI.50.
