VARIOUS ROSES 
Bourbon and Noisette Roses 
T he Bourbons are closely related to the Chinas. Some bloom continuously but a few are once-blooming. 
Prune like China Roses, leaving old wood on climbing kinds. 
The Noisette group comprises some of the most beautiful Roses in the world. They grow most 
vigorously and produce a wealth of lovely, fragrant bloom. Contrary to what is sometimes stated, the 
Noisette Roses are hardy with ordinary winter protection, such as we recommend for the Hybrid Teas. 
These Roses are $1.50 each, except where otherwise noted
