MOSS ROSES 
The Moss Rose, admired for the beautiful moss covering of the buds, is a 
strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very 
desirable for outdoor culture. Most varieties bloom but once in the season, and 
usually not the first year, but the flowers and buds are very large and handsome, 
remain in bloom a loftg time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful Roses are 
known. They like rich ground, and are much improved in beauty and fragrance 
by liberal manuring and good cultivation. (See plate on page 121.) 
Blanche Moreau White. Pure white, perfect form, well mossed; the 
finest white moss Rose. 
Crimson Globe. Deep crimson. Buds nicely mossed ; flowers deep 
crimson, large, full and globular; growth very vigorous. 
Zenobia. Rose. Flowers fine satin-rose color, very soft and pleasing,* 
large, full, globular, and exceedingly fragrant; buds well mossed ; growth 
vigorous. 
RUGOSA ROSES 
a rugosa. Japanese Roses. These Japanese Roses form sturdy bushes. 
icy are perfectly hardy in the most trying places, standing hot suns well 
anc t riving in dry or sandy soils. The dark, rich, leathery foliage is oddly 
wrin e , the large, fragrant single and semi-double flowers are produced in 
pro usion throughout the summer. In the autumn they are followed by 
orange- re and scarlet heps or seed-pods. Rugosa is extremely useful in 
roug situations and shrubbery borders, and we know of no Rose that sur¬ 
passes it. We ask special attention to the beautiful hybrid varieties described 
on page 133* All have excellent foliage, and their flowers are a decided 
change from the regular rugosa blooms.
