General Washington. See page 26 
MARGUERITE GUILLARD. (C. Chambard, 1915.) 
Pure white, very large flowers of fine form, 
A thornless variety. Sport of Frau Karl Druschki 
with flowers much like its parent. 
MARQUISE DE CASTELLANE. (Pernet pere, 1869.) 
Large, full, dark rose-pink flowers of peculiar bril¬ 
liance. Only a moderate grower. 
Valued for its excellent form. At one time a noted 
exhibition variety. 
MARSHALL P. WILDER. (Ellwanger & Barry, 1884.) 
Cherry-colored flowers with carmine reflexes; well 
shaped. 
A popular exhibition variety at one time which is 
very much worth having. It is somewhat similar to 
Alfred Colomb. 75 cts. each. 
MERVEILLE DE LYON. (Pernet pere, 1882.) Cup¬ 
shaped flowers of pure white, marked with satiny 
rose. Stiff, erect habit, with healthy foliage. 
Historically interesting because it is one of the 
parents of Frau Karl Druschki, and before Druschki 
It was considered the finest white Rose. 
MME. A. LABBEY. (Origin unknown.) One of the old¬ 
est Hybrid Perpetual varieties, with medium-sized or 
small pink and lilac flowers. A collector’s item. 
MME. ALBERT BARBIER. (Barbier & Co., 1925.) 
Full, cupped flowers of soft fawn-yellow, paling to 
white, with pinkish shades in the center. Dwarf 
growth; almost everblooming. 
The nearest yellow of any Hybrid Perpetual with 
uite dwarf, very thorny plants, bearing exquisite 
owers all season. 75 cts. each. 
MME. GABRIEL LUIZET. (J. Liabaud, 1877.) Rather 
large pink blooms with mauve shadings, double, and 
slightly fragrant. Vigorous, healthy, and profusely 
blooming in its season. 
One of the parents of Dorothy Perkins. It is best 
early in the season. 
MME. VICTOR VERDIER. (E. Verdier, 1863.) Well- 
shaped, very double, cherry-crimson flowers of globu¬ 
lar form, and very fragrant. 
One of the ancestors of our modern Roses. It was 
considered a superb Rose before the advent of the 
Hybrid Teas. 
MONS. LOUIS RICARD. (Boutigny, 1894.) Large, 
full, blackish purple flowers with vermilion lights. 
Plants vigorous. 
An outstanding variety because of its peculiar 
color. Very interesting. 
MRS. J. F. REDLY. (Originator 
unknown.) Sturdy plant of the 
Frau Karl Druschki habit, with 
large, flesh-pink flowers lightly 
tinged with salmon in the center. 
Often listed as a Hybrid Tea, 
but the growth is too vigorous for 
that family. 75 cts. each. 
MRS. JOHN LAING. (H. Bennett, 
1887.) Large, smooth blooms of 
clear pink, double, and very sweet. 
Very lovely old Rose which blooms 
all the time. 
One of the standard Hybrid 
Perpetuals which finds its way to 
most Rose-gardens. A thoroughly 
dependable Rose. 75 cts. each. 
MRS. R. G. SHARMAN - CRAW¬ 
FORD. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1894.) 
Rosy pink, shading lighter toward 
base of petals; rather informal, 
double flowers, and mildly fra¬ 
grant. Good growth, average foli¬ 
age, and continuous bloom. 
One of the loveliest of the pink Hybrid Perpetuals, 
blooming at irregular intervals. 75 cts. each. 
OSKAR CORDEL. (P. Lambert, 1898.) Very large 
buds and double, cup-shaped flowers of bright car¬ 
mine; deliciously fragrant. A compact plant and 
practically a continuous bloomer. 
It is a question whether this should be called 
Hybrid Perpetual or Hybrid Tea, as it resembles 
both. However, it is a fine Rose whatever it is called. 
PAUL NEYRON. (A. Levet, 1869.) Very double dark 
lilac-rose blooms of immense size. 
One of the largest of all Roses but with very poor 
form and quite often of a muddy color. However, it 
will be wanted because of its size. 75 cts. each. 
PEONY OF FRAGRANCE. (L. Pahissa, 1933.) Large, 
peony-like pink flowers; fragrant. Remontant. 
A new Hybrid Perpetual, blooming in spring and 
fall only. The fragrant flowers are very beautiful. 
PHOEBUS. (Origin unknown.) This ancient Hybrid 
Perpetual was introduced in 1837. The flowers are 
bright pink, shading lighter. A collector’s variety. 
PITTSBURGH. (Rev. G. M. A. Schoener; introduced 
by Bobbink & Atkins, 1929.) Very large buds and 
blooms of light flesh-pink, with a yellow base, globu¬ 
lar form, and slight fragrance. The plant grows 5 to 
6 feet tall, blooms freely in June and sparingly there¬ 
after. Large, healthy foliage. 
A modern variety, the flowers of which differ from 
the usual Hybrid Perpetual type. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. (E. Verdier, 1861.) 
Dark crimson flowers of fair size, shaded blackish 
maroon. 
Another of the so-called black Roses with deli¬ 
ciously fragrant, very dark flowers. One of the best 
of the type. 75 cts. each. 
REINE D’ESPAGNE. (Fontaine, 1861.) A handsome 
old Hybrid Perpetual with brilliant red flowers. 
Lovely old variety which has been out of com¬ 
merce for a long time. 
ROGER LAMBELIN. (Mme. Schwartz, 1890.) Ir¬ 
regular, semi-double, crimson flowers rnargined or 
streaked with white. A curious and beautiful variety. 
These flowers are not the freaks which the de¬ 
scription would indicate. While spectacular, they 
are very beautiful. 
S. M. GUSTAVE V. (P. Nabonnand, 1922.) Perfect, 
live pink, double flowers; very fragrant. 
A modern variety with nice flowers for cutting. 
Practically everblooming.
