GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Hardy Roses 
ROSES, continued 
Crimson Rambler. (Pol.) This novelty of 
the Polyantha class came originally from Japan. 
The flowers are produced in great pyramidal 
panicles or trusses, each carrying from 30 to 40 
blooms, the individual flower measuring about 
1 to 1 x /z inches in diameter. The foliage is 
bright green and glossy, and contrasts finely 
with the bright crimson of the flowers. 
Devoniensis. (C. T.) On account of its 
whiteness and sweetness, often called the Mag¬ 
nolia Rose ; creamy white, delicately flushed in 
the center with pink; possesses an exquisite 
and distinct fragrance. This is one of the most 
magnificent of Roses in this region ; an excep¬ 
tionally strong grower and vigorous climber, 
and bears profusely and constantly flowers of 
large size and great beauty. 
Dinsmore. (H. P.) Flowers large and per¬ 
fectly double; color rich crimson-scarlet. 
Douglass. (Beng.) Medium to large, dark 
cherry-red flowers. 
Duchesse de Brabant. (T.) Exquisite 
shell-pink, tinged at the edges with carmine. 
The buds and opening flowers are very beauti¬ 
ful. The flowers hold their form and color for 
a long time after being cut. In coloring it is 
unsurpassed, perhaps unequaled, by any pink 
Rose. It is strong and vigorous, and blooms 
profusely the year round. One of the best for 
this region of the South. 
Duke of Edinburgh. (H. P.) Dark, vel¬ 
vety maroon; large size, full, regular form; 
very handsome and fragrant. 
Elise Boelle. (FI. N.) White, delicately 
tinged with pink ; medium size, full, beautiful, 
circular form ; very sweet. A lovely Rose. 
Ellen Drew. (H. P.) Delicate peach blos¬ 
som, pink on top side of petals, reverse side 
rosy pink. Medium size, double, very full. 
Empress Marie of Russia. (T.) Flowers 
canary-yellow, sometimes shaded with w'hite 
and lemon. 
Empress of China. (C. C.) A new free- 
flowering climbing Rose of Chinese origin. The 
plant is a strong, healthy grower, making a fine 
specimen in a very short time, and produces its 
medium-sized flowers in profusion. Climber. 
Color soft red, changing to light pink when 
fully open, covering bush with a mass of color. 
Duchesse de Brabant 
Estelle Pradel. (C. N.) Lovely, pure 
w'hite buds; fknvers medium size, full and 
sweet ; profuse bloomer. A favorite climbing 
Rose in the South. 
Etoile de Lyon. (T.) Beautiful chrome- 
yellow, deepening to pure golden yellow at the 
center ; the flowers are very large, very double 
and full, and delicately fragrant. Unequaled 
among the yellow Roses in this region, except 
by Marechal Niel, which it much resembles. 
In the North it is styled a rival of Perle des 
Jardins, but is much larger and more satis¬ 
factory than the latter here. A vigorous, lusty 
bush ; blooms profusely at all seasons. One of 
the best. 
Exposition de Povins. (H. P.) Bright vel¬ 
vety red ; very full and double and exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant. Strong grow'er, and a desir¬ 
able variety. 
Ferdinand Batel. (H. T.) Varying color 
from pale rosy flesh on yellow nankeen, to 
yellow nankeen-orange. A fancy-colored Rose; 
quite distinct and pretty.
