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. 
AGRIPPINA (Coquereau, 1832)—An old standby; velvety 
crimson; abundant bloomer. 
ARCHDUKE CHARLES (Laffay)—Opens red, changing to 
silvery-pink. 
BURBANK (Burbank, 1900)—Color cherry-rose; by many 
highly prized as a fine bedder, as it blooms very freely. 
CHAMPION OF THE WORLD (Woodhouse, 1894)—Clear 
bright pink, always in bloom. Much larger flower than 
Hermosa. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ (Geschwindt, 1898)—Bright crimson- 
white. fiery-red center; cup-shaped; semi-double; flow¬ 
ers in clusters; so free in bloom as to present a blaze of 
scarlet. 
HERMOSA (Marcheseau, 1840)—Pleasing shade of bright 
pink; fine both for pot and garden culture. 
LOUIS PHILIPPE (Guerin, 1834)—Brilliant fiery-crimson; 
very floriferous; fine bedder. 
LUCULLUS (Guinoisseau, 1834)—Beautiful dark crimson- 
maroon; fine bedder.

much like Champion of the World; only claimed to be 
freer flowering.

CLIMBING ETOILE DE FRANCE (Howard Rose Co.,

Etoile de France, save that it is a rampant clilmber, 
making it one of the very best dark, velvety crimson 
Climbing Roses. 
CLIMBING RICHMOND (Alex. Dickson, 1912) (C. H. T.) 
—In all respects except growth identical with the nor¬

its unique color and free flowering habit, it is an im¬ 
portant addition to the climbing Rose section. Color, 
pure rich scarlet. 
CLIMBING HELEN GOULD (Good & Reese, 1912) (C. H. 
T.)—Probably no red Rose has held its place secure in

beautiful Helen Gould. We have now the pleasure of 
introducing this famous Rose in climbing form. Every¬ 
body is familiar with the warm watermelon-red color of 
its charming flowers. This is a grand climber. Be sure 
and try it.

livened with salmon; petals are very large and of great

zling crimson when in bloom.

berg, 1908) (O. H. T.)— An exact coun¬ 
terpart of KiHarney in every respect

A climbing form of Liberty. Color brilliant velvet* 
crimson; flowers of good size and beautifully formed; a
