Dependable Garden Roses 
By all means have Roses in your garden—Roses to cut and bring indoors where they may be enjoyed 
more intimately. 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a soil that will grow good vegetables, and 
reasonable care will produce surprisingly good blossoms from June until late October. No flower approaches 
the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its appeal as a cut-flower. 
Many new varieties have been added in recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time 
making it possible to select varieties that can be grown without too much cultural attention. The beginner, 
however, will do well to consult one of the many good books available, such as “How to Grow Roses” or 
“The Rose in America.” 
A word about our Rose plants. It is generally agreed that Hybrid Tea Roses on their own roots, that is, 
grown from cuttings, lack sturdiness and vigor and are not as free in flowering as those budded on the stronger 
roots of a more vigorous type. We believe the Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, 
fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New England conditions. With few exceptions, 
our plants are grown on this stock, which is hardier and more permanent than the majority of the western 
stocks which make a softer, more rapid, but less sturdy growth. 
Choice Newer Varieties 
Better Times. Plant Patent No. 23. Very large, full, 
double flowers of a brilliant cerise-red color that is 
altogether distinct. Extremely free, producing 
deliciously fragrant flowers on long, straight 
stems. $1.50 each. 
Carillon. (J. H. Nicolas.) Plant Patent No. 136. 
Long-pointed, orange-scarlet buds, opening into 
large, well-formed rose, coral and orange when 
fully open. Not unlike Mme. Edouard Herriot but 
far superior as a garden Rose. $1.50 each, $15 
per doz. 
Crimson Glory. Plant Patent No. 105. Lovely in 
the bud form, it opens to a large, perfectly shaped 
flower, deep crimson in color with a velvety sheen 
which adds a quality of richness that is different 
from any other Rose in this color. Growth is 
branching but symmetrical; quite free. $1.25 each. 
Countess Vandal. Plant Patent No. 38. This new 
Rose has been a consistent medal-winner in 
Europe. It is a lovely blending of bronze, coppery 
salmon, and gold. The long-pointed buds develop 
into large, sweetly perfumed flowers, always re¬ 
taining their excellent form. Very free and 
vigorous. A grand Rose for cutting. $1 each. 
Luis Brinas. Plant Patent No. 102. Fine, pointed 
buds of orange-copper open slowly, the petals 
curling back, making a starry flower with a 
high center. The flower lasts a long time in this 
condition and gradually a lovely shade of pink 
overspreads the copper and orange, making a new 
rose-color. When fully open, the color is-soft old- 
rose, flushed with gold. Delightfully mild fra¬ 
grance. A vigorous, free-growing plant, upright in 
habit, with bronze new foliage. Gold Medal, 
Bagatelle, 1932; First Class Certificate, National 
Rose Society Trial-Grounds, 1932; Gold Medal, 
Saverne. 1933. $1.50 each. 
Nigrette. Plant Patent No. 87. Introduced last 
season as “The Black Rose of Sangerhausen,” this 
variety has proved altogether satisfactory in 
many instances, disappointing in others. Well 
established, it produces many flowers, medium in 
size but unique for their intensity of color— 
almost black during the cool nights of autumn. 
$2 each, $20 per doz. 
Rochester. (J. H. Nicolas.) Plant Patent No. 131. 
A serviceable variety that will appeal to those 
who want an unfailing supply of cut Roses all 
through the summer. The flowers are large, 
carried many to a cluster, but can be cut indi¬ 
vidually with 8 to 9-inch stems. Color blush- 
yellow, with carmine markings on the petal re¬ 
verse. Lusty-growing habit. Almost equal to 
Radiance. Foliage luxuriant and disease-resistant. 
$1.25 each, $12.50 per doz. 
Symphony (Pink Frau Karl Druschki). Plant Patent 
No. 79. An everblooming Hybrid Perpetual, bear¬ 
ing handsome, massive, perfect flowers, often 6 
inches in diameter, on stout, sturdy stems. The 
buds are blush-pink, opening to pale rose, deep 
pink in the center of the flower, shading white to 
the edges. Open flowers are full, symmetrical in 
shape. A truly magnificent Rose. $1.50 each. 
Vivid Mason. Plant Patent No. 52. A truly re¬ 
markable Rose with the red color-play of Olympiad 
but so free in flowering and growth that there is 
no comparison. The flower is of perfect form, 
delightfully fragrant, rich Oriental red in color, 
with a blending of orange that makes accurate 
description difficult. Splendid, erect growth and 
healthy dark green foliage. Be sure to add this 
beautiful garden Rose to your collection. $1.50 
each.
