15 NEWEST ROSES, 1916 
Connoisseurs will recognize in our 1916 list of Newest Roses such an array of prize-winning varieties as we have never 
before been able to offer so promptly after their introduction 
With eyes kept fixed on the Novelty output of the leading Rose-growers in every part of the world, we pursue earnestly our 
endeavor to procure for the benefit of our customers everything of promise. Most of these demand further trial before being offered 
at all, but an intimate knowledge of the extensive birthplace tests made of the Roses while yet unnamed, and results of the European 
and American Exhibitions, enable us to offer, out of the total introductions of the past twelve months, 15 that have already distin¬ 
guished themselves as superior varieties. 
Please realize that the original supply of these highly honored Novelties is yet so limited in proportion to the demand as to make 
the following prices reasonable. 
Note.— The following famous Novelties are still so new in commerce that we must offer them here, in most cases, subject to safe 
arrival from abroad. They are to be strong, field-grown plants, not on their own roots, as are most of the C. &. J. Roses, but budded or 
grafted. Care, therefore, must be taken to plant so as to cover the joint, and in case a shoot of the wild Rose appears later from the 
root, it is easily cut out, as it may be readily distinguished by seven small, narrow leaves instead of five large leaves. Practically all 
Roses in this catalogue, except those on pages 7 to 9, are grown on their own roots.

petal heavily flushed deep copper. Does not fade, even in 
the hottest weather. 1 50

branching habit; glossy green foliage; long, orange-yellow 
bud, streaked with crimson; large, full-globular flower of

deep apricot-egg-yolk, shading off to fawn or delicate buff.
