AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSES 
Austrian Briers are descendants of Rosa foetida, a yellow-flowered species which has been in cultivation 
more than three centuries. They have developed the few very valuable shrub Roses mentioned below, and 
through the efforts of the late M. Pernet-Ducher, of Lyon, France, have been induced to blend their mar¬ 
velous yellow color with the more recent Hybrid Teas.

SCOTCH ROSES 
Scotch Roses were once very popular, and old Rose catalogues contain lists of hundred of varieties, 
most of which have disappeared from cultivation. They are descendants of Rosa spinosissima, which we also 
offer among the Species on page 27. These Roses are very hardy, shrubby plants inclined to be very perma¬ 
nent, and wholly charming in their quaint old-fashioned way.

OLD-FASHIONED ROSES 
Under this heading we have grouped the Moss Roses, the Cabbage Roses, the Damask Roses, the Fairy 
Roses, and the French Roses, which are, in many cases, the parents of our modern Roses. 
Many are almost forgotten, but a feeling of loss has crept into the consciousness of all who love 
Roses. Friends of this firm have known for a long time of our interest in Old-Fashioned Roses. We have not 
propagated these Roses extensively, but we have a sufficient number to supply the collecting interest. We 
herewith offer the most popular and also finest varieties, but can supply many other varieties which are 
listed in our special booklet, Old-Fashioned Roses, mailed free upon request. 
All popular varieties priced at 75 cts. each are S6.50 for 10. 
The scarce varieties at $2.50 each are $20 for 10

THE MOSS ROSE 
Rosa centifolia muscosa 
It is probable that the Moss Rose originated as a sport from 
the common Cabbage or Provence Rose (Rosa centifolia ), 
which it resembles in all characteristics, including delicious 
fragrance, but, in addition, has acquired a dainty, fairy-like, 
mossy envelope which adorns the calyx of the opening bud. 
Anni Welter. (N. Welter, 1906.) Very large flowers of dark 
rose-pink, fragrant, and well mossed. 75 cts. each. 
Baron de Wassenaer. (V. Verdier, 1854.) One of the good 
Moss Roses. Light crimson, globular flowers, not fully 
double, and of more than average size. Vigorous growth. 
75 cts. each. 
Berangere. (Vibert, 1849.) The delicate pink flowers are 
large and full, shaped somewhat like a large zinnia. $2.50 
each. 
Capitaine Basroger. (Moreau-Robert, 1890.) The plant is 
very vigorous, of almost climbing habit. Flower is large and 
full, bright carmine-red, shaded with purple or carmine, 
mixed with crimson. $2.50 each. 
Capitaine John Ingram. (Laffay, 1854.) The medium-sized, 
full flowers are variously described as dark purple, velvety 
crimson, reddish purple. Plant is vigorous, free-blooming 
and the buds well mossed. $2.50 each. 
Catherine de Wurtemberg. (Robert, 1843.) This Rose was 
grown in America in 1854. The flowers are large, very full, 
of handsome, globular form, soft pink or “roseate.” Buds 
nicely mossed. $2.50 each. 
Celina. (Hardy, 1855.) This was a very popular old Rose, 
producing heavily mossed buds and dark crimson flowers, 
tinged with purple and occasionally marked with white 
streaks in the center. $2.50 each. 
Comtesse de Murinais. (Robert, 1843.) A vigorous white 
Moss. The buds are mossy and the flowers are large, not 
very double, lightly tinged with blush when first open. 
$2.50 each. 
Crested Moss. This Rose was found in Switzerland in 1827. 
It has been called Cristata and Chapeau de Napoleon. 
Although it is not a true Moss, the calyx of the bloom is so 
remarkably fringed and frilled that it cannot be assigned 
to any other class. The flowers are large, full, and bright 
rose-pink. A very desirable and popular variety. 75 cts. 
each.
