ROSES 
It is generally conceded that we grow the best rose plants on the Pacific Coast, which is 
equivalent to saying that they are not equaled elsewhere. 
All plants offered are two years old and practically all are budded. In all cases they have 
been grown from the start in the open ground, so are strong and vigorous. With any reasonable 
care they should bloom freely the first season. 
Descriptions are greatly condensed. For more complete details, see our Descriptive Catalog. 
LATEST INTRODUCTIONS 
$1.00 each; $7.50 per 10. 
BRITISH QUEEN (H. T.). Pure white, un¬ 
expanded buds sometimes flushed peach. 
Open flowers without any trace of yellow. 
Beautifully formed, with pointed center and 
reflexed outer petals. 
CHRISSIE MacKELLAR (H. T.). Orange 
pink, veined carmine. Coloring entirely 
unique and difficult to describe. Very free 
flowering and richly scented. Semi-double. 
C. W. COWAN (A. Dickson, 1912.) Carmine 
cerise about like Reine Marie-Henriette. 
Buds short pointed, opening rather flat. 
Flowers double, quite fragrant. Not of 
strong growth, but very free bloomer. 
Stems long and slender, carrying flowers 
erect. 
DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND (H. T.). 
Bright rose pink. Buds very long pointed, 
on strong stems. Very double. Petals 
veined. Strong grower. 
EDITH PART (H. T.). Carmine with cham¬ 
ois, flushed pink. . Petals two-toned. Very 
beautiful. 
FARBENKONIGIN. (Hinner, 1902.) ' Bright 
carmine overlaid with silvery gloss. Color 
deep at base, light toward tips. Petals 
two-toned. Large and full. Free blooming. 
Very handsome. 
GENERAL-SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN 
(H. T.). Deep carmine; large, double and 
well formed. 
HILDA RICHARDSON. (A. Dickson, 1913.) 
Milk white, flushed rosy lilac at tips. En¬ 
tirely different from the ordinary run of 
roses. Flowers are small or medium, semi¬ 
double, opening to saucer shape, with gold¬ 
en yellow stamens very conspicuous. Not 
at all adapted for cutting, but possessed 
of a refined, dainty elegance that with its 
freedom of bloom, unique coloring and de¬ 
lightfully rich fragrance may make it very 
popular as a garden rose. 
IRISH FI REFLAM E. (A. Dickson, 1913.) 
Old gold, flushed with pure crimson when 
fully developed, Buds are very long and 
slender, beautifully spiral and richly col¬ 
ored a deep orange red, with golden base. 
The open flowers are quite large, often five 
inches broad. A further color effect is 
obtained from the extremely long, wiry, 
violet-colored stems. Foliage is rich glossy 
green. Delightfully tea-scented. Remem¬ 
bering the prompt recognition secured by 
Irish Elegance, it is easy to prophesy a 
great future for this variety, which sur¬ 
passes it in every respect. 
LADY DUNLEATH. (A. Dickson, 1913.) 
Pale yellow with deep golden center. Not 
among the big, bold, striking roses, but 
nevertheless one of the very finest in our 
collection. It is surpassingly graceful and 
dainty at every stage. The buds are re¬ 
markably long pointed and slender, with 
noticeably elongated, narrow sepals. Open 
flowers are cupped and, as the bloom ex¬ 
pands, the color greatly deepens. Stems 
are very long and slender, but strong 
enough to carry the flowers. Free bloom¬ 
ing and delightfully fragrant. 
LADY MARY WARD. (McGredy, 1913.) 
“Rich orange, shaded deeper apricot or¬ 
ange. with a decided metallic veneering.” 
(McGredy.) His description was borne out 
in our tests and in addition we found the 
petals strongly veined carmine. Another 
perfectly unique color combination. Buds 
are long pointed; flowers of medium size, 
with pointed center and reflex outer petals, 
fairly double and apple-scented. Bears 
freely. Except for a weak stem, it is splen¬ 
did in every way. 
MARCELLA. (Paul, 1913.) Salmon flesh. 
Buds buff. Large, well formed and hand¬ 
some. Growth strong and erect. Free and 
continuous bloomer. Good for cutting. 
MRS. HERBERT HAWKSWORTH (T.). 
Creamy white, straw colored in bud. Open 
flowers globular cup-shaped with tips of 
petals slightly recurved. Very fragrant. 
MRS. CHARLES HUNTER (H. T.). Cerise, 
nearly red. Stems strong. Very free 
bloomer. 
MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (H. T.). Ruddy 
cerise. Buds large and very long pointed. 
Stems long and strong. 
MRS. CHARLES E. PEARSON. (McGredy, 
1913.) “Orange, flushed red, apricot, fawn 
and yellow.” (McGredy.) Coloring may be 
said to be intermediate between Lyon and 
Mad. Edouard Herriot. Buds are pointed; 
open flowers reflexed-globular to nearly 
flat, double and faintly fragrant. Growth 
moderate or rather short. Stems short, 
but strong, carrying flowers finely. Blooms 
freely and has a very high coloring. 
MRS. SAM ROSS. (H. Dickson, 1912.) Flesh, 
suffused salmon and underlaid with buff. 
Color hard to describe, but delicate, unique 
and very pleasing. Flowers cupped, with 
outer petals slightly reflexed. Best in fall. 
MRS. WALLACE H. ROWE (H. T.). Bright 
“sweet pea mauve.” Flowers of good size 
and very well formed. Growth vigorous. 
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.). Rosy 
carmine with scarlet center. Color brilliant 
and pleasing. Flowers beautifully formed 
and last splendidly when cut. Stems ex¬ 
tremely strong, with flowers always borne 
singly. 
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT. (Mc¬ 
Gredy, 1913.) “Deep orange red, shaded 
bronze apricot red” (McGredy). Here it 
runs more toward a salmon ground, with 
carmine, yellow and flesh mixed in. Buds 
are moderately pointed and open flowers 
very double, of medium size and slightly 
fragrant. Growth moderate and spreading. 
Stems short but strong. 
NERISSA. (Paul, 1912.) Pink, flushed car¬ 
mine; buds cream, flushed salmon. Color¬ 
ing resembles Antoine Rivoire. Buds 
sharply short pointed; open flowers have 
high center with reflexed outer petals. 
OLD GOLD (H. T.). Coppery orange. Semi¬ 
double. Buds long, slender and pointed. 
Very fragrant.
