THE WORLD'S 
NEWEST ROSES 
In all the history of the rose there have never before been 
offered so many new varieties. The American Rose Annual 
listed 204 new roses in 1936 and 212 in 1937. The average 
quality of the new roses improves each year and practically 
all those listed by us have passed rigid tests for performance. 
We present a list of those which have given the best results 
in our own gardens at Niles with confidence that our cus¬ 
tomers too will find pleasure in the exquisite form and glow¬ 
ing colors of these newest roses. 
Black Knight. (1934) Plant Patent 159. Flowers as 
dark as Chateau de Clos Vougeot but borne on a 
vigorous, healthy plant. The best black-red rose 
so far. Good form and fair fragrance. $1.00. 
Eclipse. (1935) Plant Patent 172. In the open field 
in hot July weather it produces buds of almost 
greenhouse perfection. Open flowers somewhat 
lacking in petalage. Color is a good medium yellow 
midway between Joanna Hill and Claudius Pernet. 
For cutting in the bud stage it is exceptionally fine. 
A good grower and a free bloomer. $1.50. 
Feu Pernet-Ducher. (1935) Plant Patent 103. 
Creamy buds marked with carmine; open flowers 
light yellow in spring and summer, golden yellow 
in autumn. Fully double, strong growing; at its 
best in late autumn. $1.00. 
Gloaming. (1934) Plant Patent 137. Exquisite, long buds 
of pink overlaid with salmon, produced on long, strong 
stems. Open blooms are somewhat like Los Angeles. An ex¬ 
cellent variety for cutting in the bud stage. $1.25. 
Golden Main. (1933) Plant Patent 254. Original name was 
Goldenes Mainz. Clear, glistening, dandelion yellow. Blooms 
are medium large with many narrow petals, giving the bloom 
a rounded peony form. A fine summer bloomer that produces 
masses of color. Foliage shiny and holly-like. $1.50. 
Jean Cote. (1936) Plant Patent applied for. The introducer 
describes it as having large, ovoid buds of deep brownish 
orange ; mammoth blooms, full to the centers. Color of open 
bloom solid orange, almost brown. Flowers come singly and 
continuously on good stems; fruity fragrance. Plants of 
medium height and branching; large glossy foliage. $2.00. 
Katherine Pechtold. (1934) Has beautifully formed slender 
buds on long stems. Color is orange with terra-cotta shad¬ 
ing. One of the most brilliant roses in its color range and a 
fine variety for cutting. 75c. 
Lucia Zuloaga. (1932) A semi-double flower of intense, 
lacquer red; darker and more brilliant than Cuba. Clean 
healthy foliage and a very free bloomer. Better for garden 
display than for cutting. 75c. 
Angels Mateu. (1934) Plant Patent 174. Winner of Bagatelle Gold 
Medal in 1934. Varies from orange-old rose to rich salmon-coral. 
Glorious, big, double blooms of attractive form on a sturdy bush with

Gaede in beauty and dependability. $1.50. 
Anne Poulsen. (1935) Plant Patent 182. A new 
type of large-flowered Polyantha with semi-double, 
scarlet-crimson, scented flowers in big sprays. Ro¬ 
bust and free blooming. An excellent variety for 
mass color effect, low hedges or borders. $1.00.
