MISCELLANEOUS ROSES 
BOURBON ROSES 
These Roses had an apparently accidental origin in 1819 , in the Royal Gardens of the 
Isle of Bourbon. They are desirable and valuable. 
KATHLEEN HARROP. (A. Dickson & 
Sons, 1919.) A beautiful sport of Zephirine 
Drouhin, bearing large, fragrant, semi-double 
flowers of soft, pale shell-pink. $1 each. 
PARKZIERDE. (P. Lambert, 1909.) Vigor¬ 
ous and hardy; flowers small, crimson-scarlet, 
fragrant, usually borne singly on long, stiff 
stems. $1 each. 
SOUV. DE LA MALMAISON. (Beluze, 
1843.) Flesh-colored flowers, very large and 
full. Vigorous grower and free bloomer. A 
very, good Rose, but requires protection north 
of Virginia. $1.50 each. 
ZEPHIRINE. DROUHIN. (Bizot, 1868.) 
Bright silvery pink, semi-double flowers, medium 
to large, with exquisite perfume; of fine form. 
The young foliage is bronzy, and the vigorously 
growing plant is nearly thornless. This fine 
Rose has been overlooked; it ought to be a 
leader as a pillar Rose or low climber. $1 each. 
PROVENCE OR CABBAGE ROSES 
Roses include the sorts that existed when the Rose was called 
of Flowers” first in Athens 2,600 years ago. They are ruggedly hardy and 
of them in a corner of the Rose-garden or along a driveway 
Probably these old, old
