Rosa Rouletti Miniature Rose 
Probably one of the old Lawrenceana Roses popular a century 
or more ago. After being lost to cultivation for many years, a 
plant was found growing in an Alpine window-garden by M. Cor- 
revon, the Swiss rock garden authority just a few years ago. 
It is rapidly attaining popularity as a rock garden “gem” and as 
an edging plant in front of Rose beds. The plant grows about 6 
inches tall in bushy form, is healthy and hardy and blooms from 
early summer until frost. The tiny, rose-pink, quite double flowers 
are less than an inch in diameter. A real little treasure. 3-inch 
pot plants, 75c each. 
Polyantha Roses 
A type of Roses which is deservedly very popular for bedding 
purposes. They form shapely, compact, bushy specimens, most of 
them growing about 8 inches high, producing in great profusion 
from early in the season, without stopping, until severe frost, 
trusses of small flowers. Pruning is not necessary; simply re¬ 
move the past season’s flower stems.

Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond the 
cutting out of very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the 
laterals and long canes to make the growth conform to the space 
to be covered; but a severe pruning in July, directly after they 
have finished flowering, is beneficial. Cutting away at that time 
all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which 
will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this and the next page a selection of twelve of the 
most modern Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses. 
« 
American Pillar. A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The 
flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade 
of pink, with a clear white eye and clusters of yellow stamens, 
and are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in full 
bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 
100 . 
Bess Lovett. Large, fairly full flowers of light crimson-red, cup¬ 
shaped, and borne in long-stemmed clusters suitable for cut¬ 
ting; sweetly fragrant. Plant very strong, exceedingly free 
flowering, with fine, glossy foliage almost immune to disease. 
Better habits than Climbing American Beauty but totally un¬ 
like it in color and form. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Blaze, The Evertolooming Paul’s Scarlet. A marvelous new hardy 
everblooming climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss an 
Teplitz, thus combining the most attractive features of both 
its parents. It is a very vigorous climbing variety which will 
grow to considerable height and produce flowers on both the. 
old and the new growth. In our opinion, this Rose is destined 
to enormous popularity. $1.50 each.
