OAKLAND MUNICIPAL ROSE GARDEN 
This lovely garden is set in a natural amphitheater extending from Jean Street 
on the lower side to Oakland Avenue on the upper side. 
Irish Fireflame. H.T. Orange and crim¬ 
son buds opening to very large single 
blooms of gold and apricot with pink 
shadings. Foliage bronze and dark 
green. An unusually strong growing 
rose. 50c. 
Isobel. H.T. Flowers single and of a 
rich flushed orange-scarlet changing to 
brilliant pink and copper with pure yel¬ 
low centers. The wild-rose loveliness of 
Isobel makes it extremely popular. (See 
illustration on page 37.) 50c. 
*J. C. Thornton. H.T. (1926) Medium 
size, long, pointed bud of glowing crim¬ 
son-scarlet. A seedling from K. of K. 
but fully double. The exquisite form 
and brilliant coloring of this rose give it 
a leading place among the new red 
roses. 50c. 
Joanna Hill. H.T. (1928) The texture 
of petals is not injured by cold, foggy 
weather or scorching sun. The exquis¬ 
itely formed, long buds are of apricot 
with just a suggestion of bronze. The 
open blooms are somewhat lighter with 
sunset shades of gold and apricot-yel¬ 
low. Joanna is one of our favorites. 50c. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. H.T. Pearly 
white, tinted with lemon in center. 
Large, fully double and of perfect form. 
Introduced more than forty years ago, 
this rose is still one of the best in its 
class. With the increasing popularity of 
white flowers we find it much in demand. 
A very satisfactory white rose. 50c. 
K. of K. (Kitchener of Khartoum). H. 
T. Semi-double; intense scarlet with 
large velvety petals. The blooms of un¬ 
usual beauty are borne profusely on 
extra long stems. 50c. 
Lady Forteviot. (1928) Form similar to 
Angele Pernet but color is more golden. 
Foliage dark and glossy; bush grows 
well and produces a generous amount of 
flowers ; resistant to mildew. 60c. 
Lady Hillingdon. T. Deep rich apricot- 
yellow in color; buds long, pointed and 
beautifully formed. Foliage when young 
dark violet, turning to deep green with 
age. A beautiful and graceful busb that 
is almost continuously in bloom. 50c. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. H.T. (1927) A 
gorgeous rose which we like better each 
year. The long, high-centered buds of 
orange-yellow are veined and splashed 
with scarlet and the reverse of the petals 
is streaked with orange and carmine. 
Lady Margaret likes hot weather and 
the color is most intense in summer; 
spring blossoms are sometimes rather 
pale. (See illustration in color on page 
43.) 50c. 
Lafayette. Poly. Moderately double 
blooms of lovely cherry-red borne in 
large, loose clusters throughout the 
year. A really continuous bloomer and 
in the San Francisco Bay region a hedge 
is never without flowers. Unexcelled as 
a low hedge. Its average height is two 
to three feet. 50c. 
‘Lord Lonsdale. H.T. (1933) Light yel¬ 
low. Described on page 34. 75c. 
Los Angeles. H.T. Lovely, long buds 
opening slowly to blooms of beautiful 
form. The color is flaming pink, spring¬ 
ing from a golden base. A dependable 
bloomer, rose succeeding rose through¬ 
out the season. Stems are long and 
strong, making it ideal for cutting. 50c. 
‘Lucia Zuloago. H.T. (1932) Lacquer 
red. Described on page 34. $1.00. 
‘Luis Brinas. H.T. (1932) Salmon 
pink. Described on page 34. Patented. 
$1.25. 
Lulu. H.T. The buds of this lovely 
little rose are exceptionally long and 
slender with the tips of the petals re¬ 
curving very sharply. The most ex¬ 
quisitely modeled buds imaginable. 
Color is a warm salmon-pink. The open 
blooms are semi-double. 50c. 
*Malar-Ros. H.T. (1932) A large, dark 
red rose with the finest perfume of any 
new rose. Flowers blue somewhat in 
sun but it is worth growing for its 
heavenly fragrance. $1.00. 
Mari Dot. H.T. (P. Dot, 1927) This 
rose challenges your attention by its re¬ 
markable vigor and beauty. Buds are 
reddish salmon-yellow opening to dou¬ 
ble blooms of brilliant salmon-pink 
overlaid with a faint coppery sheen. 
There is a luminous effect to the petal- 
age that is usually found only in poppies 
and begonias. The plant grows very 
strongly and blooms through hot or cold 
weather. Foliage is very glossy and 
holly-bke. (Illustrated in color on page 
39.) 60c. 
WATERING ROSES 
In watering roses it is best to let 
the water run slowly into a basin dug 
around the bush. Water roses preferably 
in the morning; never wet the foliage 
in late evening. A good mulch of rotted 
manure or peat moss is of assistance in 
retaining soil moisure in summer. Where 
a mulch is used, very little summer cul¬ 
tivation is required except an occasional 
stirring of the mulch to prevent its 
packing. 
Buy only No. 1 grade rose bushes that will 
bloom abundantly the first year. They will give 
you more flowers at less cost per flower than 
roses of lighter grade. Every “Roeding’s Qual¬ 
ity” Rose is No. 1 Grade.
