PEMBERTON'S AND OTHER HYBRID MUSK ROSES 
A class of Roses originated in England by the late Rev. Joseph 
H. Pemberton and other Rose-growers. These are hybrids of Rosa 
moscbata , the Musk Rose, and are principally used as Pillar or 
Shrub Roses. They grow 5 to 8 feet high, bloom more or less all 
These Roses are $1 each for 
through the growing season, and would be widely planted if they 
were better known. They flower on old wood and also on wood of 
the current season, which adds to their value and interest, and the 
only pruning necessary is to thin out old wood occasionally.
