Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses 
Standard Varieties including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They are Hardy. 
AGATHE—Golden-orange, shaded with saffron or coppery- 
yellow. Pine. 
ANNA MULLER (Schmidt, 1907)—This Rose is very much 
the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the 
color of its flowers, which are a shiny, brilliant pink 
produced in the greatest profusion in large clusters. It 
is a splendid companion to the other excellent members 
of this family. This is the original pink Baby Rambler. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUK 
(Levavasseur, 1903)-—This is the original Baby Rambler, 
daddy of them all. It is in bloom all the time, flowers 
in large clusters of brightest crimson. It grows to a 
height of eighteen inches and hides the plant with its 
bloom. A most wonderful Rose. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER 
(Lambert, 1901)—This is surely a beauty and a great 
addition to the Baby Ramblers. Grows to a height of 
twenty inches and produces double pure white flowers 
in abundance. It has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths, 
of free, compact growth and very attractive. It produces 
a sheet of white bloom that is certainly a sight worth 
seeing. 
NOTE—The above three Roses, “Anna Muller,” “Baby 
Rambler” and “Catherine Zeimet” are the original 
pink, red and white Baby Ramblers in the order 
named. They are hard to beat. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890) (H. 
Poly.)—Known the world over as one of the very best 
of all bedding Roses. The only rival of “Hermosa” as 
a bedder and market pot plant. The color effect is beau¬ 
tiful ivory-white, shading towards the center to bright 
silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose. 
JESSIE (Merryweather, 1909)—This new Baby Rambler is 
an ideal Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture. 
The flowers, which are produced in huge clusters, are of 
a bright cherry-crimson color which does not fade. 
Superb. The best of all the Baby Ramblers for pot 
culture. 
LE PONCEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910)—Dark red, blooms 
in large clusters. A choice variety. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILB BRUNNER (Ducher, 1880) 
(H. Poly.)—This is the popular Baby Pink Rose. In the 
past year or two this Rose has fairly Jumped into popu¬ 
larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the 
Pacific Coast, but recently even in the effete East and 
everywhere in America they are planting it simply by 
the thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite the 
rage. Color blush, shaded light salmon-pink; distinct 
and desirable. 
.MARIE I*AVIE (Alegatlere, 1888)—Of good size; very 
full and double; borne in large clusters; color white, 
flushed with carmine; delightfully perfumed; a great 
bloomer. 
MRS. WILLIAM II. CUTBUSII (Levavasseur, 1907)—One 
of the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It 
produces in constant profusion throughout the entire 
summer its pleasing delicate pink blooms in large 
trusses; also extra fine for pot culture. 
MOSELLA (Lambert, 1895) (H. P.)—Bears large flowers 
for this class; center of flower chrome-yellow; edges of 
petals shading out to creamy-white. Fine bedding Rose. 
ORLEANS (Levavasseur, 1910)—The showiest and pretti¬ 
est of all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty 
Rose is of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet 
of deep cerise or Geranium-pink with distinct showy 
center of pure white; florets not crowded but of beauti¬ 
ful arrangement, making as a whole a charming com¬ 
bination that cannot be beaten. 
PERLE d'OH (Dubreuil, 1883)—Nankeen-yellow with or¬ 
ange center; very novel and beautiful. This Rose is 
dividing honors with “Mile. Cecile Brunner” as a cut 
flower, being planted very largely for this purpose. A 
charming miniature Rose. 
PAQUERETTE (Guillot, 1876)—This is one among the 
very first Baby Rambler Roses sent out. The flowers 
are very double and pure white. This Rose has many 
favorites. 
PRIMULA (Soupert, 1900)—Considered by many to be the 
most popular of the Baby Rambler Roses. Grows to a 
height of two feet. Very hardy. Always In bloom. The 
color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful 
carmine-pink. For ourselves, we are very fond of this 
Rose. 
PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE (Soupert, 1896)—A grand 
Baby Rambler Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is 
a bright pink, flushed with yellow; extra. 
SCHNEEWITCHEN, SNOW WHITE (Lambert, 1901)—An 
ideal sort for garden culture, having a round, compact 
habit, with very full trusses of evenly disposed flowers, 
which are perfect in form and semi-double. Color glis¬ 
tening ivory-white, with golden stamens, extra. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses— Newer Varieties 
The first Hybrid Perpetuals were grown from crosses between Hybrid China and Tea-Scented Roses with Gallica 
and Bourbon Roses. This is a beautiful class and cannot be too highly recommended, including, as it does, many of 
the hardiest early and late flowering kinds and nearly all of 
make such pleasing contrasts to the yellow and white Teas. 
DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND (Alex. Dickson, 1912)—A 
strikingly distinct and beautiful Rose of decided merit, 
possessing great value for garden decoration. The 
blooms are freely produced, are large and full, conical 
in shape, building up into a large flower which possesses 
a delicious Sweetbrlar perfume. Color, delicate rose- 
pink with lemon shading on the white base; charming. 
GEORGE AHRENDS—See Pink Frau Karl Druschki. 
GEORGE DICKSON (Alex. Dickson, 1912)—The introduc¬ 
ers of this new Rose say; “This is the best Rose ever 
raised by us. We make this statement advisedly and 
with a full sense of our responsibility. The Rose Is 
named after the senior member of our firm, who is now 
approaching his eightieth birthday. We are quite satis¬ 
fied that within two years George Dickson will be the 
most popular exhibition Rose in existence. As near as 
we can describe it, the color is a velvety-black crimson, 
the back of the petal being heavily veined with deep 
pure crimson-maroon. The petals are of splendid shape; 
of magnificent substance; delightfully smooth, and built 
to make the form of flower perfection. We have regu¬ 
larly had blooms of the highest exhibition standard quite 
five inches across. It has wonderful lasting qualities, 
not only as to the retention of its color, but also in its 
shape and freshness. Awarded the gold medal of the 
National Rose Society of England, besides many other 
first awards at various other shows in England and 
Ireland.” 
HEINRICH MUNCH (Hinner, 1912)—This is the Rose 
that took the sweepstakes prize at the Boskoop Rose 
Exhibition in June, 1913 over all competitors of all 
classes and of all colors. An extremely vigorous, strong 
grower. The color Is a soft silvery pink that attracts 
immediate attention. The flowers are very large and 
full. This Rose is fine to force into bloom in pots, and 
it has no superiors among the H. P.’s as a garden Rose. 
the superb rich crimson red and pink varieties which 
These are, hardy. 
FLORENCE HASWELL VEITCII (W. Paul, 1911)—Flow¬ 
ers brilliant scarlet, shaded with black; large, moder¬ 
ately full flowers of excellent shape, with fine large 
petals of great substance. Has a remarkable fragrance. 
Very free-flowering and of strong, vigorous habit. 
KING GEORGE V. (Hugh Dickson, 1912)—What Mr. Dick¬ 
son himself says of this Rose: “The flower is very large 
and very full, opening freely; beautifully shaped; much 
resembling ‘Madame Jules Gravereaux’ in build of flow¬ 
er and petal. The petals are very abundant and nicely 
arranged. The color is quite unique amongst Hybrid 
Teas, being rich blackish-crimson, with deep velvety 
violet flush, a striking and brilliant color, not burning in 
the sun nor turning blue, as so many of our very dark 
Roses do. It is very free flowering and perpetual, and 
delights in a warm sun. The perfume Is strong and very 
pleasing. This is one of the finest novelties which we 
have ever sent out, and has elicited universal admiration 
wherever shown. Awarded the gold medal of the Festi¬ 
val of Empire. Crystal Palace, London. June 29th, 1911.” 
With us this Rose is a pure Hybrid Perpetual. 
OTHELLO (Paul & Son, 1912) — Deep blackish-crimson, 
with pronounced maroon shades; distinctive coloring; 
large r well formed flowers. 
PINK FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI, or GEORGE AHRENDS 
(Hinner, 1910)—This is the wonderful “Pink Druschki.” 
This Rose we predict will have as large a following and 
be as largely planted in a very few years as the now 
famous “White Druschki.” We have looked it over In 
the field and we absolutely cannot detect a single fault 
in it or about it. The growth and make-up of the 
plants is superb, while the delicate pink color Is un¬ 
approachable. Thank you, Mr. Hinner. You have en¬ 
riched our Rose collection for all time. Many nursery¬ 
men know what they have missed by delaying so long 
in getting acquainted with “Frau Karl Druschki.” Do 
not repeat this mistake with “George Ahrends.”
