GLEN SAINT ^MARY NURSERIES 
Hardy Roses 
ROSES, continued 
Chromatella (Cloth of Gold). (C. N.) 
Clear, bright yellow; good form and substance; 
large, very full and double; very sweet; a con¬ 
stant and profuse bloomer; much prized in the 
South as a pillar or veranda Rose. 
Clement Messier. (C. N.) Medium size; 
full and double; white petals surrounding deli¬ 
cate pink center; very pretty in either bud or 
flower; sweet Tea scent; a strong grower. 
Climbing Bridesmaid. (C. T.) Somewhat 
similar to its parent, Bridesmaid; dark pink, 
almost magenta-rose. Strong climber and a 
splendid variety. 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert. (C. T.) An 
offspring of Clothilde Soupert, of which it is an 
almost exact counterpart, except that it is a 
strong climber. Its introducers say that it is 
one of the most valuable, if not the most val¬ 
uable, climbing Rose ever introduced 
Climbing Marie Guillot. (C. T.) A grand 
new climbing Rose, differing from its parent, 
Marie Guillot, only in habit of growth. Beauti¬ 
ful creamy white flowers, sometimes with pale 
yellow center. Strong grower and profuse 
bloomer. 
Climbing White Pet. (Mult.) Strong¬ 
growing Rose of the Rambler class; showy 
white flowers borne in clusters; fragrance like 
cherry blossoms. 
Climbing Wootton. (H. T.) Very large, 
rather open flowers, beautifully formed; color 
bright magenta-red, passing to violet-crimson, 
richly shaded. A free bloomer, strong grower, 
and a beautiful Rose. 
Clothilde Soupert. (Pol.) This lovely 
Rose resembles the Tea Roses so closely that it 
is called a Tea Polyantha. The flowers are 
borne in clusters, and are of large, round, flat 
form, with beautifully imbricated petals; per¬ 
fectly full and double, and deliciously sweet; 
color beautiful pinkish amber or pale, creamy 
yellow, delicately flushed with silvery rose, 
sometimes ivory-white, exquisitely tinted with 
pale salmon, and sometimes both red and white 
flowers are produced on the same plant. It is 
a particularly handsome Rose, and has always 
been greatly admired. The bush is a vigorous 
and compact grower and a continuous and re¬ 
markably profuse bloomer. 
Comtesse Eva Starhemberg. (T.) Yellow, 
buff and yellow center, edged rose. Medium 
to large, double and full. Strong grower, and 
a desirable kind. 
Comtesse Riza du Parc. (T.) Color cop¬ 
pery rose, shaded with violet-crimson. Flowers 
are large, double and full. Beautiful in bud 
and flower. 
Coquette Bordelais. (H. P.) Large, open 
flowers which remind one of a camellia. Color 
carmine-rose, sometimes rosy pink, with white 
stripes in center of petals. 
Coquette des Alpes. (H. N.) Medium¬ 
sized white flowers tinged with blush. 
Coquette des Blanches. (H. N.) Delicate 
white or flesh-colored flowers of medium size. 
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 Yz 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. (FI. P.) Flowers large and 
perfectly 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 uncqualed, 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.
