Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The Hybrid Perpetual Roses bloom mostly in June. On account of their hardiness 
they are not only desirous for planting in the Rose Garden, but also for grouping on the 
lawn or shrub border. Heavy, 2-year size, 5-inch pots; 50 cts. per plant; $5.00 per doz. 
of one variety. 
Anne de Diesbach. Flowers large, crimson, fragrant. 
Baroness Rothschild. Flowers large, light pink, deepening to rose, borne on long 
stems, and surrounded by fine clusters of dark green leaves. 
Crested Moss. Deep pink buds, with mossy fringe and crested. A beauty. Fine 
plants. 
Fisher Holmes. Deep, glowing crimson; large, full and of fine form. Very fragrant. 
General Jacqueminot. This is probably the best known of all the Hybrid Perennials, 
and is without a rival in fragrance and richness of color. Crimson. 
Mrs. John Laing. Soft pink, large and full. Very fragrant. A great bloomer and of 
first quality. 
Paul Neyron. This is a Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, with very large, deep rose flowers. 
A strong grower, with very few thorns. Buds especially desirable. 
Dormant Nursery Grown Roses 
Rubiginosa (English Sweetbrier). A very hardy Rose, 4 to 6 feet high, with shining 
leaves which have a refreshing fragrance, and many small, pink, single flowers. Fruit 
orange-crimson, quite showy. Fine for hedges. Field-grown, 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz. 
ROSA rugosa. These Japan Roses are very hardy, rapid growers, attaining a height 
of 5 or 6 feet, rendering them available for impenetrable, ornamental hedges, for 
which purpose they are unexcelled. The foliage is rather thick in texture, and of the 
most glossy, luxuriant green. Flowers are large, single and most perfect in form, 
followed by large, bright red or golden apples. 
R. rugosa rubra. Flowers very large, pink in color; fruit brilliant crimson. 25 cts. 
R. rugosa alba. Lovely pearly white flowers and bright golden fruit. 30 cts. 
R. rubrifolia. A very attractive bush from southern Europe, with single scarlet flow¬ 
ers and bluish-green or red leaves all summer. Quite hardy. Forms large bushes, 3 
feet or more. 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz. 
WICHURAIANA (New Japan Creeping Rose). A low, trailing species, its stems 
creeping on the earth as closely as an ivy, and forming a dense mat of very dark green, 
lustrous foliage. It is a rapid grower. The flowers are rather small, pure white, 
with golden yellow stamens. It is perfectly hardy, and very desirable for creeping 
over walls or covering unsightly places. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Climbing Roses 
From 5-inch pots, 50 cts. per plant. 
Baltimore Belle. White, very double flowers in large clusters. The buds are slightly 
tinged with pink. 
Crimson Rambler (The Hardy Japan Climbing Rose). This Rose was introduced in 
1893, and has proved a decided novelty. It is a vigorous grower, making in some cases 
shoots 15 feet long in a season. The flowers are small, but grow in large, glowing 
crimson bunches, measuring from 6 to 9 inches from base to tip; 300 blooms have been 
counted on one shoot. The flowers remain a long time in fine condition. Seems 
to be well adapted to the entire country; should be in every collection. 
Dorothy Perkins. Resembling Crimson Rambler in mode of growth; the flowers are 
double and of a beautiful shell-pink color; quite hardy.

nooks, that we have brought them together here.
