Rose Novelties for 1935 
ABBREVIATIONS: HT., Everblooming Hybrid Tea; CHT., Climbing Hybrid Tea; R., Rambler or small-flowered Climbers; 
LC., Hardy Climbers with large flowers; Poly., Polyantha 
ANGELE. HT. We believe this is one 
of the finest white Roses, even better than 
the old Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria which it 
resembles in many respects. Its creamy 
white buds and open flowers are exquisite 
in the extreme, and remarkable for a 
delicious, delicate fragrance rare in white 
Roses. Superb for cut-flowers. 1-yr. 
plants, 20c each; 2-yr., 75c. 
AUTUMN QUEEN. HT. It is difficult 
to describe this Rose Decause of the in¬ 
tense richness and blending represented 
in its coloring. The full handsome buds 
are superbly shaded with burnt-orange, 
pink, salmon and gold, blending in the 
full open flowers to the most glorious 
autumn shades. The plant is a strong 
grower with bronzy green foliage. A won¬ 
derful fall Rose. See color illustration on 
page 5. 1-yr. plants, 25c each; 2-yr., 75c. 
BLAZE. R. U. S. Plant Patent No. 10. 
Described as an everblooming Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber, producing its vivid, 
blazing red flowers in huge clusters in early 
summer and frequently and abundantly 
thereafter until stopped by winter. Hardy, 
everblooming Climbers are rare and pre¬ 
cious. Blaze has attracted enormous at¬ 
tention, and thousands of plants have been 
sold. 2-yr. plants only, $1.50 each. 
CLIMBING ETOILE DE FRANCE. 
CHT. A remarkable everblooming climb¬ 
ing Rose which we are proud to recom¬ 
mend. It is a sport of the well-known, 
popular dwarf Hybrid Tea whose rich, 
glowing crimson flowers have adorned 
gardens for many years. The blooms 
resemble in all respects the original bush 
Rose from which it sprang. See illustra¬ 
tion on page 9. 1-yr. plants, 25c each; 
2-yr., 75c. 
CLIMBING TALISMAN. CHT. 
Everybody admires the brilliant red and 
gold Rose, Talisman, is a climbing 
form of it which will rapidly run up a 
trellis or cover an arch. It blooms con¬ 
tinuously throughout the season, produc¬ 
ing flowers exactly the same in shape and 
color as its famous counterpart. 1-yr. 
plants, 25c each; 2-yr., 75c. 
COMTESSE VANDAL. HT. U. S. 
Plant Patent No. 38. This lovely garden

shows, and becoming popular in this 
country. 2-yr. plants only, $1.00 each.

GOLDEN SALMON. Poly. A start¬ 
ling new Polyantha with small, vivid 
orange flowers in huge clusters. The color 
is so bizarre that it scarcely resembles a 
Rose at all, and attracts admiring and 
amazed attention from everybody. See 
illustration on page 5. 1-yr. plants, 20c 
each; 2-yr., 60c. 
HOLLYWOOD. HT. This popular 
Rose has recently escaped from the 
florists’ shops to the garden. It resembles 
somewhat the older Premier in its long- 
pointed buds which open into full-blown, 
beautifully shaped Roses of deep vivid 
cerise, shaded with crimson in cool 
weather. Superb for cut-flowers. 1-yr. 
plants, 25c each; 2-yr., 75c.

excellent free-blooming habit. See illustra¬ 
tion on page 5. 1-yr. plants, 25c each;

Patent No. 8. This stunning Rose is a 
dark glowing red sport of the famous 
Talisman. At times the color is almost 
brown; at others it verges to scarlet or to 
interesting rosewood shades. We have 
never seen the least tinge of blue in the 
color at any stage of the flower, a most 
unusual quality in red Roses. 2-yr. plants 
only, $1.00 each. 
MRS. ARTHUR CURTISS JAMES 
(Golden Climber). LC. U. S. Plant

hardy, yellow climbing Rose. The semi¬ 
double, handsome, well-shaped flowers are 
deep vivid yellow and do not fade white. 
The plant is very vigorous and the large 
flowers are borne on long, strong stems. 
It is not everblooming. 2-yr. plants only, 
$2.00 each. 
ROSLYN. HT. A lovely deep golden 
yellow flower, unshaded by any other tint 
or hue. The bush is vigorous and holds its 
flowers uniformly erect. Much admired 
for its unfading color. See illustration on

SCARLET BEAUTY. HT. An all¬ 
round, good garden Rose whose large,

effective Roses in the garden. 1-yr. plants, 
25c each; 2-yr., 75c.

No. 25. The red and yellow color of the

Talisman. Its clear yellow flowers do not 
bleach or fade. An excellent grower and a 
free bloomer. 2-yr. plants only, $1.00 each. 
SUNKIST. HT. This is an orange or 
orange-yellow sport of the well-known 
buff and gold Joanna Hill. Its long, beau¬ 
tifully shaped buds vary through shades 
of copper, buff, and bronze, and open into 
lovely, deep, orange-tinted flowers of 
finest form. 1-yr. plants, 25c each; 
2-yr., 75c.
