LORD PENZANCE SWEETBRIER ROSES 
The Sweetbrier, favorite in old gardens and cherished in the new, has been given far greater attractive¬ 
ness by the Marquis of Penzance, who has devoted his life to crossing the Sweetbrier with large-flowering 
varieties. The varieties in the list given here are his choicest productions. They are much larger than the 
Sweetbrier of old, and finer in form and substance of flowers. The range of color is wide. An indication of 
their charm may be given by the fact that the grower who plants one or more of them soon wants the entire 
assortment. Sweetbrier Roses thrive where others would fail; they do well in partial shade and in shrubbery 
borders, and they may be grown as climbers if desired. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

RUGOSA ROSES 
Japan, which has given us so much that is good in horticulture, bestowed upon us the Rugosa, its native 
wild Rose, and American and European experiments have developed these to greater beauty by crossing 
them with the large-flowered garden Rose. The Rugosa Roses are unexcelled for planting in the shrubbery 
border, and for use in hedges. They have thick, leathery leaves, rough and plaited, which withstand the 
attacks of insects. The foliage is remarkably attractive, and would make Rugosa Roses desirable even if 
they never bloomed. The typical variety has single or semi-double pink flowers, 2>J to 3>J inches across, 
while the hybrids have more perfect and more showy flowers of various colors and shades. The bushes send 
up strong canes, 4 to 5 feet tall, which are clothed in June with clusters of graceful blooms. The flowers con¬ 
tinue mtermittently until frost, and frequently are borne profusely late in the season. It is seldom that a 
bush is without its blooms. In the fall, the Rugosa Roses have a second season of beauty, for the flowers of 
the single and semi-double kinds are succeeded by large, scarlet hips, or seed-pods, which last for several 
weeks and are most attractive. The plants increase in size and beauty for years. Rugosa Roses require 
pruning only to remove the dead wood or too rampant growth.
