The Tiniest Rose Bush in the World! 
Rose Rouletti 
The New Miniature Rose 
So tiny that a bee will almost cover a bloom, as yon 
will notice from the illustration, Rose Rouletti, the 
smallest rose bush in the world, grows only from six 
to eight inches high, bearing a profusion of lovely 
semi-double soft rose pink rosette flowers less than an 
inch in diameter, from early summer until frost! It is 
practically everblooming. Rose Rouletti makes a 
shapely compact growth, very bushy, with dainty finely 
cut foliage which is almost evergreen. This foliage is 
an attractive light green and is in itself very distinc¬ 
tive. 
A Real Find For Edging Rose Beds 
Aside from Rose Rouletti being a wonderful novelty, 
the lovely little bushes supply a long-felt want as a 
border for the rose bed! Or they may be used most 
effectively as a border for the perennial bed, along the 
walk or driveway, and last but not least, Rose Rouletti 
is highly desirable for the rock garden. In tests it has 
been perfectly hardy and in most locations it holds its 
evergreen foliage almost all winter. It is well to pro¬ 
tect it over the first winter, however, in severe climates. 
Truly A Treasure 
Rose Rouletti is so unique, so different and so ap¬ 
pealing, that it has commanded fabulous prices, sell¬ 
ing at from $1.00 to $2.00 per plant and worth it! 
It has been, and still is, very scarce, but by not offer¬ 
ing any of them until this spring, we have built up a 
nice stock and can therefore offer it at a reasonable 
price. Rose Rouletti is so supremely good that we 
know you will thrill to having some of these tiny rose 
bushes in your own garden!
