BOURBON ROSES—Standard Varieties 
A semi-double rose-colored variety, was imported from Mauritius to France in 1819 by M. Jacques. Attempts were made 
to improve this pretty but imperfect Rose, and a number of very beautiful varieties have been originated. They are more 
hardy than the Tea Scented Roses. 
EMPRESS EUGENIE (Plantier, 1855.)—Bourbon. This mag¬ 
nificent Rose stands head and shoulders above all other sorts 
of its color. By all means try this for a garden Rose. A 
grand garden Rose. Solid color, of bright pink; very double, 
full and sweet. 
EUGENE E. MARLITT (Geschwindt, 1900.) — This Rose is 
sailing under the name of “Madame Eugene Marlitt.'' It is 
a grand garden Rose, none better; being exceptionally 
healthy, vigorous and free-blooming. The flowers are large; 
very double; of a rich bright carmine with scarlet tones 
which do not fade in the hottest weather. It is quite hardy 
and fragrant 
SOUVENIR DE LA MALM AISON (Beluze. 1843.) — Blush- 
white shaded flesh; large and very double; sweetly scented. 
Especially good.

tinted with lemon ; resembles the old Souv. de la Malmaison, 
except color. It is a Rose that stands up well to the head 
of the procession. Extra. 
CHINA ROSES—Standard Varieties 
Named by some Bengal Roses; natives of China. Introduced into our gardens in 1720. They are of luxuriant growth, and are 
so constantly in flower during summer and autumn, and give so little trouble. These Roses are so fine for bedding and massing 
for color effect that they ought to be cultivated in preference to many annuals. They are hardier than the Tea Roses.

crimson; abundant bloomer.

pink; fine for both pot and garden culture.
