ROSES 
and in every way more desirable than the small pot-grown plants sent out by nearly all northern 
nurseries. 
There are several different classes of Roses. The class indicates, to a large extent, the 
character of the variety, and, to some extent, its adaptability. These classes are indicated by 
initial letters in parentheses immediately following the name of the variety; the key to which is 
as follows: 
Bk., Banksia; Beng., Bengal; Bour., Bourbon; C. B., Climbing Bengal; C. C., Climb¬ 
ing China; C. N., Climbing Noisette; C. T., Climbing Tea ; H. C., Hybrid China ; H. N., 
Hybrid Noisette; H. P., Hybrid Perpetual; H. T., Hybrid Tea; Mult., Multiflora; N., 
Noisette; Pol., Polyantha; P., Prairie; T., Tea; W., Wichuraiana. 
AGRIPPINA. (Beng.) Rich, velvety crimson, 
beautiful bud; for bedding it is unsurpassed. 
Few Roses so rich in color. 
ALFRED COLOMB. (H. P.) Bright clear 
red; a fine shade. Large, double ; strong grower. 
ALPHONSE SOUPERT. (H. P.) Large, 
very handsome and showy; bright rose-color. 
AMERICAN BANNER. (T.) White striped 
or shaded red. Flowers of medium to large size 
and fine form. Good grower, and very satisfactory 
variety. 
ANNE DE DIESBACH. (H. P.) The color is 
a most lovely brilliant carmine ; long pointed-buds 
and large, finely formed, compact, slightly cupped 
flowers. Very full and double, and delightfully 
sweet. A vigorous grower and a fine bloomer. 
ANTOINE MOUTON. (H. P.) A vigorous 
grower, bearing flowers of extraordinary size and 
fullness. Bright, clear pink, reverse of petals 
silvery rose. 
APOLLINE. (Bour.) Color clear pink, dashed 
with rosy crimson; edges and reverse of petals 
silvery rose. 
ARCHDUKE CHARLES. (Beng.) Brilliant 
crimson-scarlet, often marbled with lighter shades. 
A good grower and very satisfactory variety. 
BANKSIA ALBA. (Bk.) Same as the Yel¬ 
low Banksia, except that the flowers are white. 
BANKSIA LUTEA. (Bk.) Clusters of 
diminutive but exquisitely beautiful yellow flowers. 
The Banksia is entirely hardy in the South, where 
it is one of the most satisfactory climbers. It is as 
strong and rampant as the native Cherokee Rose, 
but does not throw up suckers from the roots like 
the latter; the foliage, which bears little resem¬ 
blance to that of other Roses, is striking and 
exceptionally handsome. In spring it is a mass of 
yellow bloom. 
BEAUTY OF WALTHAM. (H. P.) Very 
large, finely formed flowers; bright cherry-red, a 
fine color; very fragrant. A profuse bloomer. 
BESSIE JOHNSON. (II. P.) Beautiful blush- 
color, highly scented; distinct. 
BLANCHE DE MEUR. (H. P.) Light flesh- 
color, changing to white. 
BON SILENE. (T.) Deep salmon-rose, 
illumined with carmine; highly scented. Valu¬ 
able for its buds, which are large and of fine form 
and color. Very strong and robust in this section; 
bears profusely the year round. An old favorite. 
BOUGERE. (T.) Extra large, very double 
and full; exceedingly sweet Tea scent; color 
bronze-rose or violet-crimson, delicately shaded 
with lilac. Vigorous and a profuse and constant 
bloomer. An old Rose, but one of the most 
desirable. 
BRIDE. (T.) A superb pure white Tea Rose; 
one of the best of its color; the buds and flowers 
are unusually large and finely formed. It is a 
strong, healthy grower and a quick and constant 
bloomer. A fine variety for outdoor culture. 
BRIDESMAID. (T.) A very large, finely 
formed Rose; fine clear pink. A splendid variety, 
and appropriately named, for it is an excellent 
companion for that grand Rose, the Bride. 
CAPTAIN CHRISTY. (H. T.) Extra large, 
flat flowers, very full and regular; the color is a 
lovely shade of pale peach, deepening toward the 
center to rosy crimson. Vigorous; a free and per¬ 
petual bloomer; one of the best in our gardens. 
CATHERINE MERMET. (T.) Very distinct 
and beautiful; valued highly for its elegant buds; 
color clear shining pink, with delicately shaded 
amber and fawn center; large, globular flowers; a 
strong, healthy grower and free bloomer. One of 
the most satisfactory. 
CECILE BRUNNER. (Pol.) Salmon-pink, 
with deep salmon center; an admirable Rose. 
CHARLES LEFEBVRE. (H. P.) Reddish 
crimson, sometimes with a shade of purple; very 
velvety and rich. Continues to bloom throughout 
the year; one of the most satisfactory of its class 
in this section.
