KILLARNEY 
RUGOSA ROSES —Continued 
Conrad F. Meyer, vig. Flowers large, SkJ to 4 
inches across, bud w r ell formed, color silvery 
rose; fragrant; very valuable on account of its 
hardiness and vigor. 
“ A rose that seems to come midway between La France 
and Mine. G. Luizet, both in form and color, but with a 
growth almost as lusty as a Lilac, would, 1 think, be a true 
description of the above splendid variety. It is deliciously 
fragrant, and the foliage has that leathery texture that 
enables it to withstand cutting winds and even slight frosts, 
so that instead of a plant marred by the climatic vicissitudes 
of the spring, we have one a picture of health. I could not 
name a better rose for a town grower.”— Garden, London, 
Eng. 
Madame G. Bruant, vig. In the bud state the 
flowers are long and pointed, when open, semi- 
double; pure white and fragrant, and produced 
freely in clusters at intervals throughout the 
summer; exceptionally hardy and vigorous; 
forms a handsome bush. Budded plants. 
Nova Zembla, vig. A sport of the Conrad F. 
Meyer, with large, well-shaped white flowers; 
a great acquisition. 
Rugosa alba, mod. A species from Japan. Single, 
pure white flowers of five petals; highly scented; 
a splendid shrub. 
Rugosa rubra, vig. Another Japan variety. Flow¬ 
ers single, of a most beautiful bright rosy crim¬ 
son, succeeded by large berries of a rich rosy 
red color, and are a great addition to the orna¬ 
mental character of the plant. Makes a beauti¬ 
ful low hedge. 
HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES 
This is a group of considerable importance. They gener¬ 
ally flower in small clusters, and bloom freely throughout the 
year. The flowers are mostly white, and though small are 
generally of good form. They require a little more care in 
their protection than the Hybrid Perpetuals. 
Coquette des Alpes, vig. or free. White, slightly 
shaded with carmine; medium size; form semi- 
cupped. 
Coquette des Blanches, vig. or free. Pure white, 
sometimes faintly tinged with pink; flowers of 
medium size, somewhat flat, but full and very 
pretty; growth bushy. One of the hardiest. 
Late in coming into flower. 
HYBRID TEA AND TEA ROSES 
(Half Hardy) 
The roses included in this section are valued especially 
for their free and continuous blooming qualities which render 
them particularly useful to plant in beds and groups for the 
ornamentation of the lawn or to grow in the garden for a 
supply of cut flowers for decorative purposes. 
The collection embraces several of the choicest roses 
which can be recommended in the strongest terms to plant¬ 
ers with the suggestion that they require better winter pro¬ 
tection than do the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants need to 
be well banked up with earth and covered with straw or 
evergreen boughs, while those planted in beds should also be 
protected with boards to keep off wet and moisture. 
The extra care devoted to the roses in this class will be 
amply repaid in the satisfactory flowers produced abundantly 
and continuously during the summer. 
Caroline Testout [H. T.], vig. Large and double, 
color clear bright rose, very sweet, resembling 
La France, but of more sturdy habit, very free 
flowering; one of the best roses. 
Etoile de France [H. T.], vig. Velvety crimson, 
on stiff erect stems, cupped form; continuous 
and free flowering; very fragrant. 
Gruss an Teplitz [H. T.], vig. Color scarlet,

some foliage, especially valuable as a bedding

choicest roses.
