Daniels Eskimo Roses 
The Hardiest Everbloomers 
The Rugosa Rose Hybrids, or Eskimo Roses, as they are often 
called because of their extreme hardiness, are the best roses 
for general growing throughout the Northwest as they are not 
only perpetual bloomers, most attractive in appearance of bloom, 
foliage and hips, highly fragrant, but are thoroughly hardy 
without winter protection in Minnesota and the Dakotas. The 
beautiful double blossoms are vastly superior to those of the 
old style single rugosa roses. They usually require no spraying 
and are the most easily grown of all the roses. They should 
be used frequently in the border as are the hardy shrubs. We 
offer the outstanding varieties.

AGNES—Coppery yellow buds and flowers 
which become pale amber-gold upon open¬ 
ing. They are well shaped, sweetly fra¬ 
grant, and freely produced in early sum¬ 
mer. Foliage grayish. Growth moderate. 
The only Rugosa which is a true yellow. 
BLANC DE COUBERT—Snow white blooms, 
double and fragrant, and arranged in clus¬ 
ters. This variety is at its best in the 
summer and fall. In form it closely re¬ 
sembles the Hansa, and like that variety 
is excellent for hedges. Thrives in the 
coldest places. Especially pretty in half 
open bud. 
BELLE POITEVINE—The full, double flow¬ 
ers are of bright rose pink and in loose 
clusters. Blooms start in June and con¬ 
tinue until fall. Very dense growing. Ideal 
for hedges and foundation plantings; but 
also makes a good specimen. Entirely 
hardy. 
CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER — Very 
large, well-built flowers of light silvery 
pink, profusely produced on long stems 
from the enormous canes. Often called 
the handsomest Rugosa. A well grown 
plant is a miraculous sight in full flower. 
Must have plenty of room to grow. 
DR. ECKNER — Large, fragrant, semi¬ 
double, yellow flowers tinted with orange 
and coppery rose. Very hardy and makes 
a 6 ft. bush which blooms intermittently 
from June to September. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST—Bright crimson. A 
new variety of unusual merit commonly 
called “The Baby Rambler Rugosa Rose .” 
Because of its iron-clad hardiness it may 
be used in shrub borders. With its con¬ 
tinuous production of clusters of bright 
crimson bloom, it stands out strikingly 
from early summer until frost. 
HANSA—Deep red. One of the hardiest, 
most dependable and most all round satis¬ 
factory of the red roses. The large, double 
red flowers have an attractive violet tinge, 
and are produced in great abundance from 
early summer until late fall. The plants 
are vigorous growers with shiny green 
foliage and hardy enough to stand the 
most severe climate without protection. If 
you love red roses in profusion all season 
in the shrub border, the rose garden oi 
as a hedge, then plant Hansa. It never 
disappoints! 2 yr. No. 1, 60c each; 3 yr., 
75c each. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON—Snowy white. The 
large, double, pure white blossoms of this 
splendid variety are borne continuously in 
clusters on strong stems. The foliage is a 
very attractive dark leathery green. An 
outstanding favorite. 
Roses Easy to Grow 
There is no mystery about the culture 
of roses. If their few simple needs are 
tended to they may be grown as readily 
as our other common shrubs. The hardy 
Rugosa Hybrids, for instance, require no 
more care than a Hydrangea. Neverthe¬ 
less. they will respond more generously to 
understanding care in the way of cultiva¬ 
tion, fertilization and pruning than do most 
shrubs. 
The same is true of the less hardy va¬ 
rieties that we list except that they, in 
most locations, require some form of simple 
winter protection.
