*Susan Louise. H.T. (1929) A lovely 
light pink bush rose that is a seedling 
of Belle of Portugal. The very long 
buds are slightly darker than those of 
Belle of Portugal and are borne con¬ 
tinuously throughout the summer. 50c. 
^Syracuse. H.T. (1930) Bright crimson 
buds; double flowers of good form and 
texture; lasts a long time when cut. 50c. 
Talisman. H.T. (1929) The coloring is 
most unusual, being a combination of 
gold, apricot, pink and carmine in min¬ 
gled splashes, streaks and blends. It 
has fragrance equal to Mine. Butterfly 
and blooms as profusely as Mme. 
Edouard Herriot. For greatest satisfac¬ 
tion the flowers should be cut in the 
tight-bud stage. (See illustration in 
color on page 45.) 50c. 
The Queen Alexandra. H.T. Intense Ver¬ 
million on inside and old gold on re¬ 
verse of petals, which spring from a 
deep orange base. Its moderate height 
and free-flowering habit make it an ex¬ 
ceptionally good bedding rose. 50c. 
* Thomas Edison. H.T. (1931) A two- 
tone pink rose of great beauty. Flowers 
are large and borne very freely. 60c. 
*Trigo. H.T. (1930) Bud rich yellow 
striped with red, flowers deep apricot, 
fully double. 60c. 
Ulrich Brunner. H.P. Geranium-red 
changing to carmine; large, fairly full, 
cup-shaped and sweetly scented. Growth 
vigorous and hardy. Exceptionally good 
as a hedge rose. 50c. 
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. 
* Vivid Mason. H.T. (1935) A brilliant 
novelty rose opening deep carmine and 
orange, changing to lovely shades of 
rose and pink with gold shading at base 
of petals. Plant is an exceptionally ro¬ 
bust grower with strong stems. An ex¬ 
cellent variety for cutting. $1.00. 
*YoSemite. (1933) We like this little 
rose very much. Buds are beautifully 
formed, coppery-orange in color, open¬ 
ing to fully double blooms of orange- 
scarlet. It blooms cheerfully through¬ 
out the season. Foliage is very healthy. 
Patented. $1.25.

Standard ROSES 
Commonly known as Tree Roses, “Roeding’s Quality” Standards 
are top-budded on vigorous stock. The standards we offer have well 
developed, two-year heads. These will be found to be much more satis¬ 
factory 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 the crown. 
STANDARD ROSE 
The following varieties can be sup¬ 
plied in 40-inch Standards at $2.00 each; 
in lots of 5 or more, $1.85 each; in lots 
of 10 or more $1.75 each.
