MichclPs Dormant Field-Grown Hybrid Tea Roses 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
Any of the following Hybrid Tea Roses, 75c. each; per doz., $7.50 
Spring planting was formerly the rule, but now many of the most 
successful Rose-growers prefer to plant their Roses in the autumn, claim¬ 
ing that they have more success. Plants shipped in the dormant state 
take up very little room and may be safely shipped by Parcel Post. 
If there is danger of the ground freezing before the arrival of the plants, 
protect the space where you wish to plant them by a covering of leaves 
or other loose litter. Plant as soon as they arrive, covering the bud with 
Autumn. Novel and distinct in coloring—burnt-orange, streaked with 
red. Close, compact growth. 
Briarcliff. A popular florists’ Rose that has more than made good in 
the garden. Its size, form, color, stem, and foliage leave nothing to 
be desired. Large, glowing rose-pink blooms with delightful fragrance. 
Charles P. Kilham. Brilliant orange-red blooms, suffused with scarlet, 
large, beautifully shaped, and slightly fragrant. Vigorous, upright 
grower, continuous bloomer, with healthy foliage. 
Columbia. One of the most popular Roses—a vigorous grower and very 
free flowering. The blooms are a pleasing shade of rose-pink, large, 
fragrant, and perfectly formed. 
Dame Edith Helen. Shapely buds and substantial blooms of clear pink, 
sweetly scented. A strong grower and very free bloomer. 
Edel. A British introduction producing blooms of exhibition quality. 
The large, beautifully formed flowers are ivory-white, passing to pure 
white, and open well in all weathers; delightfully fragrant. Strong 
grower of uniform habit. 
Edith Nellie Perkins. An outstanding Rose of vigorous growth and 
free-flowering habit. Long-pointed bud and very large, double, lasting, 
fragrant flower, with outside of petals Orient-red shaded cerise-orange, 
inside salmon-pink. 
E. G. Hill. This red variety is very popular as a winter cut-flower, but 
is equally good for the garden. The double, high-centered blooms are 
bright scarlet, shading deeper as they develop. Vigorous grower 
and free bloomer. 
Etoile de Hollande. A large, gorgeous, velvety scarlet Rose with beauti¬ 
ful blackish crimson buds. The well-formed, double flowers have a 
delightful old-fashioned Rose fragrance. Strong, vigorous, healthy 
grower and very free flowering. The best red. 
Gruss an Teplitz. Everybody’s Rose and grows everywhere. Most 
profuse-blooming Rose in existence. The flowers are of the richest 
scarlet, shading to a velvety crimson, and very fragrant. Constant 
bloomer. 
Joanna Hill. Beautifully formed, flaring flower of deep, creamy white 
tinged with salmon and ochre-yellow at the base of the petals. Long- 
pointed buds. Vigorous, upright grower and profuse bloomer. 
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. Old but still one of the best. Creamy buds 
and perfect blooms of dazzling snow-white, tinted slightly with Iemon- 
yellow at center; fragrant. 
Lady Alice Stanley. A majestic old Rose with very large silvery pink 
buds and blooms which are sweetly fragrant. Very sturdy plants and 
handsome, deeply veined foliage. 
Lady Margaret Stewart. Blooms well shaped, brilliant orange-yellow, 
turning gold with age, and occasionally streaked with orange and red. 
Sometimes supersedes Rev. F. Page-Roberts. 
at least one inch of soil. Mound the earth about 12 inches high around 
the base of the plants, thus covering the buds on the lower ends of the 
branches, which protects them from alternate freezing and thawing, so 
injurious to Rose bushes. Early in spring, before growth starts, but after 
danger of severe frost is over, remove this covering of earth and prune 
the plants. 
Margaret McGredy. Bud very large and long-pointed; flower large, 
shapely, long-lasting, very double, fragrant, and brilliantly colored— 
a rich shade of Oriental-red, passing as it ages to carmine-rose. Vigor¬ 
ous and free flowering. 
McGredy’s Scarlet. One of the newer red Roses of marked superiority 
on account of its strong, vigorous growth, free and continuous habit 
of flowering, and its brilliant color, dazzling scarlet. The fragrant, full, 
double flowers are of good size. A beautiful Rose. 
Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem. Buds glowing orange or apricot and 
flowers bright golden yellow, streaked and veined with orange; fra¬ 
grant, large, and of perfect form. Handsome leathery foliage. Vigorous, 
upright; profuse bloomer. 
Miss Rowena Thom. Enormous buds and blooms of fiery rose shaded 
with mauve—an unusual color. A profuse and continuous bloomer all 
season. Extremely vigorous. 
Mme. Butterfly. One of the most popular garden Roses with light pink 
flowers faintly tinted with gold near the base of the petals, sweetly 
and richly perfumed. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot. The famous Daily Mail Rose, known and 
loved for years. Its brilliant orange, red, and salmon shades have 
never been equaled in any of the newer Roses. A good grower and 
bloomer, it should have a place in every Rose-garden. 
Mme. Jules Bouche. Considered the finest white garden Rose. Very 
vigorous, branching plants bearing glistening white flowers with an 
occasional touch of pink at center. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. Holly-like foliage and well-shaped little buds of 
golden buff, opening to double, attractively shaped flowers of tawny 
gold and pink. Fine low-growing bedding plant. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. Beautifully shaped flowers of bright, unfading 
yellow and long-pointed buds of reddish gold make this one of the out¬ 
standing Roses in the garden. The blooms are very lasting and fra¬ 
grant. Vigorous, compact; profuse, continuous bloomer. 
President Herbert Hoover. A sensational Rose that continues to be 
extremely popular. Beautiful color combination—cerise-pink, flame, 
scarlet, and yellow. Lovely long-pointed buds. Moderately fragrant. 
Very vigorous; free bloomer. 
Radiance. Considered by many as one of the best Roses in cultivation 
today, and has a host of admirers. It is a very vigorous grower, never 
out of bloom, and gives good results where many other Roses do not 
succeed. Its large flowers are rich pink on the outer surface of the 
petals and light silvery or flesh-color on the inner surface. Profuse 
bloomer. 
Red Radiance. Like Radiance, of which it is a sport, this is another 
popular, easy-to-grow Rose that always gives results. Its bright 
cerise-red blooms are borne in constant profusion until late in the fall. 
Vigorous and upright.
