True rugosa foliage. Double, bright crimson, borne in' 
large clusters like the Baby Rambler, from May con¬ 
tinuously until November. One of the most valuable of 
all Roses in the North. In the colder parts of the country 
it is hard to get a continuous bloom of Roses, but these 
Grootendorst Roses are true everbloomers. The old blos¬ 
soms should be kept trimmed out as they pass and the 
bushes will be covered with a mass of clusters of little 
Roses an inch or more in diameter of a brilliant red all 
summer way up to frost. 
Medium-size plants, 50c each; 10 for $4.50.
