BRIER ROSES 
Austrian Brier Roses 
Austrian Briers are descendants of Rosa Joetida, a yellow-flowered species which has been in culti¬ 
vation more than three centuries. They have developed the few very valuable Shrub Roses mentioned 
below, and are the ancestors of the modern yellow, orange and copper Hybrid Teas or Pernetianas. 
These Roses are 75 cts. each 
Austrian Copper (Rosa Jcetida bicolor). Single flowers 
of intense copper-red, reverse of petals bright 
golden yellow.

Persian Yellow. Double, rather small, deep golden 
yellow flowers. A fine old-fashioned Shrub Rose. 
Star of Persia. A very handsome early-flowering

Hybrid Sweetbriers 
A class of Roses known as the Penzance Briers, developed from the common Sweetbrier or Eglan¬ 
tine, Rosa rubiginosa. They have deliciously scented foliage, and bear charming single or half-double 
flowers along their arching canes. Useful in parks, driveways, and shrubberies. When well established, 
they are hardy in all but the most difficult climates without protection of any sort.
