Red Roses 
American Beauty. (Hybrid Perpetual.) Dark 
pink shaded with deep carmine. The plant 
should be in a cool location and given heavy 
fertilization, under which conditions the 
growth will be vigorous and the blooms pro¬ 
duced in abundance. 
Ami Quinard. An exceedingly deep crimson, 
so dark that in some lights it appears almost 
black. A distinct novelty because of its color. 
Strong-growing plants that will produce many 
full double flowers. 
Charles K. Douglas. A deep crimson-scarlet 
which rarely fades even under the hottest sun. 
The blooms are large and slightly fragrant. 
It is an exceptionally good garden Rose, 
branching in habit, clean foliage, and yields a 
bountiful supply of flowers. Each year in¬ 
creases its popularity. 
Cuba. Vivid orange-scarlet buds followed by 
copper-red and orange-vermilion blooms, a 
combination that is extremely striking and 
showy, a bed making a wonderful display. 
Director Rubio. The plant is rather dwarf, 
but carries many erect stems which are topped 
by light red blooms of great size, semi-double 
and moderately fragrant. One of the more 
recent introductions from France, where it has 
been a favorite red variety. 
E. G. Hill. Dazzling red blooms that shade to 
deep crimson without a touch of blue. Ex¬ 
ceedingly good garden Rose, vigorous, free 
flowering, and making friends even among the 
most critical growers of Roses. It seems to 
hold the color well even under scorching suns. 
Etoile de France. Vivid crimson blooms with 
centers shading to cerise. An excellent bed¬ 
ding variety as the plants are free blooming 
and have stiff, upright stems and good foliage. 
Etoile de Hollande. The brilliant red blooms 
hold well during hot weather, but are partic¬ 
ularly good in the cool days of autumn. 
Well known everywhere and seems to have 
few serious faults. 
Francis Scott Key. Light crimson buds open 
into a full double bloom of the same color. 
A desirable variety for the South, where it is 
at its best in autumn. The plant is erect in 
habit, with good foliage. 
F. J. Grootendorst. (Hybrid Rugosa.) Small, 
bright red flowers with fringed petals are pro¬ 
duced in large clusters the whole season. 
Makes a desirable specimen shrub or a fine 
everblooming Rose hedge. 
General Jacqueminot. (Hybrid Perpetual.) 
Scarlet-crimson buds and clear red, very fra¬ 
grant flowers. Plants grow from 3 to 6 feet 
high, and frequently bloom twice in a season. 
Grenoble. A brilliant red, almost scarlet, bloom 
opens from a crimson bud. May be numbered 
among the best dozen red Roses, and is par¬ 
ticularly desirable for cutting. 
Gruss an Teplitz. (China or Bengal Rose.) 
Large, bushy plants that are covered the en¬ 
tire season with clusters of bright red flowers, 
which make a lovely Rose hedge or a bed of 
brilliant color.
