HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
MME. VICTOR VERDIER. (E. Verdier, 
1863.) Vivid carmine. 
*MRS. JOHN LAING. (Bennett, 1887.) Im¬ 
mense blooms of soft, clear pink, following long 
buds which open into the cup-shaped and fra¬ 
grant flowers. The strong-growing plant is a free 
bloomer and the variety is deservedly popular. 
MRS. R. G. SHARMAN-CRAWFORD. (A. 
Dickson & Sons, 1894.) Large flowers of deep 
rosy pink, the outer petals being delicately 
flushed with pale flesh. Plant strong and vigorous. 
*PAUL NEYRON. (Levet, 1869.) Presumably 
the largest Rose in commerce, individual flowers 
reaching 6 inches in diameter and standing well 
up on strong plants. The exceedingly fragrant 
flowers are clear pink, shaded soft rose, and the 
habit of the plant is excellent. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. (E. Verdier, 
1861.) Dark maroon or blood-red blooms of 
unique color effect, on plants of but moderate 
vigor. 
ROGER LAMBELIN. (Mme. Schwartz, 1890.) 
A pleasing semi-double flower of dark crimson, 
with petals edged white—unique and fine. 
SUZANNE-MARIE RODOCANACHI. (L6vN 
que, 1883.) Rosy cerise, shaded white, in a large, 
full, and globular flower. 
TOM WOOD. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1896.) 
Clear cherry-red; the blooms are produced until 
late fall on a mildew-proof plant. 
These Roses are $1 each, $9 for 
Frau Karl Druschki. See page 46 
*ULRICH BRUNNER. (Levet, 1881.) Large 
flowers of light, clear red, tending toward scarlet 
and showing a shade peculiarly its own. The 
abundantly produced flowers are set on long 
stems, carried by a plant of vigorous growth. A 
standard of excellence. 
VICK’S CAPRICE. (Vick, 1889.) A pleasing 
rose-color, striped in both white and darker red, 
in large and full cupped blooms. Plant vigorous.

AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSES 
A MOST interesting and important class of Roses, based on Rosa foetida. Though 
called Austrian Brier, the species is native to Asia. It contributes great value to 
L the garden by reason of the definitely substantial yellow color of the flowers and 
the enduring quality of the plants, which bloom very abundantly quite early in the spring 
Rose season. The growth is peculiar and rather leggy, so that these Roses do best when 
kept either where other Roses can be grown in front of them or in a similar place in the 
shrubbery. They are resentful of pruning, save by the removal of occasional old canes, 
and it is not unusual to find an acquainted Rose-grower keeping duplicate plants so that 
when he prunes one year he need not expect bloom on that plant. 
Many efforts have been made to combine the remarkable color quality of the Austrian 
Brier with other Roses, but it is reluctant to mate with other species. The Pernetiana 
Roses show importantly this yellow tendency, which is said to result from the infusion 
of Rosa foetida blood into the Hybrid Tea strain. 
AUSTRIAN COPPER. (Gerard, 1596.) Single 
flowers of medium size and of an extraordinarily 
bright coppery red, the reverse of the petals 
being golden yellow. No other Rose provides 
such a notably brilliant color. $1 each. 
HARISON’S YELLOW. (Harison, 1830.) 
Apparently a hybrid made by a clergyman of 
New York City, in 1830, between the Austrian 
Brier and Rosa spinosissima. This variety is 
of the utmost value, providing semi-double, 
bright golden yellow flowers which cover the 
whole of the plant in spring and are delightfully 
fragrant. $1 each. 
PERSIAN YELLOW. (Willock 1837.) A 
double-flowered form, producing in the spring 
the utmost profusion of blooms, which are a 
darker yellow than Harison’s Yellow; pleasantly 
fragrant. $1 each.
