BUSH ROSES 
TEAS, HYBRID TEAS, HYBRID PERPETUALS 
AND POLYANTHAS 
(Varieties of recent introduction are marked * and date of introduction given) 
♦Alezane. H.T. (1934) The novel coloring 
of this new introduction in the nursery 
rows caught our eyes immediately last 
year and we found it equally attractive 
when it bloomed in our test garden this 
summer. Buds are chestnut-red and the 
open blooms are golden brown paling to 
coppery salmon. Flowers are quite dou¬ 
ble, of medium size and borne in gener¬ 
ous number. $1.50. 
♦Amelia Earhart. (1929) A stunning 
flower graduating from a deep yellow 
center to cream at outer edges with 
warm blush tints; large ovoid buds; foli¬ 
age exceptionally good. Patented. $1.50. 
American Beauty. H.P. We do not rec¬ 
ommend this rose for general garden 
use but many will wish to grow it for 
sentimental reasons. In some gardens it 
produces lovely blooms in early spring 
and late autumn. Crimson-carmine, 
shaded deep pink, very fragrant. 50c. 
AN INVITATION 
We invite you to visit our 
new rose test gardens to make 
your selections for next 
year’s planting from roses 
actually in bloom. Here you 
will see more than 200 va¬ 
rieties, both new and old, 
growing and blooming under 
average California garden 
conditions. From April to 
November rose lovers will 
find this garden a place of 
interest and enjoyment. 
Angele Fernet. H.T. (1924) None of the 
most recently introduced roses can 
equal Angele in intensity of coloring. 
Buds are deep, flaming orange, opening 
to semi-double blooms of brilliant red¬ 
dish apricot. Petals are beautifully 
notched and frilled. Foliage is glossy 
and remarkably free from mildew. 50c. 
Austrian Copper. Briar. Plant this bril¬ 
liant old favorite among shrubbery 
where it will not be disturbed. Prune 
lightly or not at all except for removal 
of very old, weak branches. Single 
blooms, petals orange-red on inside, 
yellow on reverse. Occasional flowers 
are entirely yellow. 50c. 
-Autumn. H.T. (1928) As the name sug¬ 
gests, this rose is of mingled shades of 
burnt orange and red. Somewhat like 
President Herbert Hoover but smaller, 
darker and more double. Rather sus¬ 
ceptible to mildew if neglected. 50c. 
♦Billy Boiler. (1927) An Australian in¬ 
troduction with large flowers of daz¬ 
zling red borne on very long, upright 
shoots. Of such vigorous growth that it 
can be treated as a low-growing climber 
or pillar rose. An unusual rose that is 
praised by everyone who has grown it. 
75c. 
♦Caledonia. H.T. (1928) This is the best 
pure white rose of recent years. Buds 
CHAS. P. KILHAM 
are extra long and open very slowly. 
Sometimes inclined to ball but exquis¬ 
itely lovely when well grown. 60c. 
♦Carrie Jacobs Bond. H.T. (1935) Named 
for the popular composer. The large, 
magnificently formed flowers are a 
warm coral-rose in color. The fragrance 
is the true rose perfume of old-fash¬ 
ioned varieties. Stems are long and 
extra strong, holding the flowers up¬ 
right. We recommend this variety as 
being one of the best 1935 introductions. 
$1.50. 
Cecil. H.T. Very large, single flowers of 
clear, golden yellow. Combines beauti¬ 
fully with other garden flowers. Resis¬ 
tant to mildew and almost constantly in 
bloom. Ranks with Isobel and Irish Ele¬ 
gance in desirability. 50c. 
“ Roeding’s Quality” rose bushes are

bloom well the first summer after 
planting. When ordering roses in
