Moss Roses 
The Moss Roses are favorites with everyone, on account oi the beautitul 
buds, which for bouquets and cut flowers are invaluable. 
Blanche Moreau. Pure white, large, full and of perfect form. 
Crested Moss. Deep pink buds, surrounded with mossy fringe. 
Glory of Mosses. Color pale rose. 
Henri Martin. Unusually well mossed buds opening to deep carmine blooms. 
General 
Jacqueminot. 
Spanish Beauty (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). A plant of this “Queen of the 
Climbing Roses” in full bloom is one of the most beautiful sights we have 
ever seen. Long-pointed buds of crimson open to great urn-shaped flowers 
of iridescent pearl-pink, with splashes of ruby-carmine on the outside of the 
petals. These deliciously fragrant blooms are produced so lavishly that they 
almost hide the plant, and coming as they do on long stems, 12 to 18 inches, 
they are perfect for cutting. The long bloom-period is followed by the largest 
Rose seed-pods we know; they are as large as small pears and after coloring 
are wonderfully decorative. 
Tausendschon. An extremely valuable and distinctive rose. The buds are cherry- 
pink, opening to very double flowers of softer shades, all shades being found 
in a single cluster. A moderate grower, with glossy, light green, disease-re¬ 
sistant foliage, its smooth canes being almost thornless. A highly desirable 
variety for covering walls, fences, porches, and pergolas, and unique among 
climbers. 
White Dorothy Perkins. Of the same habit of growth as the Dorothy Perkins. 
Where a white Rambler is wanted, we recommend this variety. 
Wichuraiana or Memorial Rose (Japanese Trailing Rose). A distinct and valu¬ 
able variety from Japan; it is a low-trailing species, its stems creeping on the 
earth almost as closely as the ivy. The flowers 
are produced in the greatest profusion in clust¬ 
ers on the end of every branch, after the June 
Roses are past. Pure white. Excellent for cov¬ 
ering banks and low walls. 
Miscellaneous Roses 
Baby Rambler, Pink. Dwarf. Large clusters of 
brilliant rose colored flowers in great profusion. 
A splendid bedding variety. Blooming all seas¬ 
on until buds are killed by severe frost. 
Baby Rambler, White. Dwarf. Flowers are borne 
in clusters of 50 to 75 individual flowers; fol¬ 
iage glossy and finely cut; vigorous, hardy and 
free blooming. A fine bedding variety. 
Hybrid Tea P.oses 
Hybrid Tea Roses are not very hardy in 
the Northwest for without very careful winter 
protection they freeze out, and for that reason 
we do not list them in our catalog. Neverthe¬ 
less, many people are planting them because 
they feel the results they get the first summer 
are so fine that it is worth the extra effort 
needed to protect them over winter, and the 
cost of making replacements annually. 
The McKay Nursery Company has a very 
select list of varieties, and will be glad to 
quote prices to anyone interested in planting 
these wonderful roses.

J. B. Clark. 
Baby Rambler, Red. A dwarf form of the popu'ar 
climbing Rose, Crimson Rambler, being hardy, vig¬ 
orous and perpetual flowering. The flowers are well 
formed, of a crimson-red color, and borne in clusters. 
Blooms continuously. 
Dr. E. M. Mills. New. A hybrid of Rosa Hugonis 
showing traces of Rugosa blood. The color is light 
primrose with pink suffusion that becomes more pro¬ 
nounced in the later blooms, which are medium in 
size, of cupped form, and semi-double. Flowers 
come singly all along the stem, like hollyhocks. 
Hugonis. Takes first place among the single-flowered 
Roses, and probably among the best shrubs for gen¬ 
eral garden use. Pale clear yellow, delicately fra¬ 
grant flowers, borne so abundantly on the long, 
gracefully arching canes as to form a continuous 
band of color; foliage small, pale green and dis¬ 
tinct, on curious red-tipped twigs. A vigorous grow¬ 
ing shrub that blooms profusely and very early— 
just before Bridal Wreath time. (See picture on 
page 25). 
Harrison's Yellow. Perfectly hardy, semi-double; 
blooms early. 
Persian Yellow. Flowers double and full; deep golden 
color: blooms freely in June. Finest hardy yellow 
Rose grown.

McKay Roses.
