scented flowers varying from pale buff to apricot- 
yellow, and giving a remarkable color effect. A 
very lovely Rose where hardy. $1 each. 
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 
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, 
a l IS n0t unusua ^ t0 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 
ol Kosa joetida 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 spiTLosissnna- . 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. 
SONNENLICHT. (Kriiger, 1913.) Canary- 
yellow, semi-double, sweet scented blooms. Vigor¬ 
ous grower, A variety of great beauty. $1 each.
