Hardy Everblooming Bush Roses 
Rose Growing Made 
Easy 
Don’t Bother with Budding or 
Grafting. Briar is Always a 
Nuisance. 
With roses on their own roots, 
there is never any of this trouble. 
Should the bush be cut down by 
frost at any time and the roots not 
harmed, real rosewood is again pro¬ 
duced in the spring. On the other 
hand, many amateurs have set out 
to plant a rose bed and secured the 
best of budded stock but in a year 
or two have had only briars for 
their trouble. All our roses are 
grown on their own roots.
