The Cabbage Rose 
13 
Rose des Peintres. Purple-pink, striped with white. We consider this 
unusual Rose one of the loveliest among the Centifolias. 
Variegata di Bologna. (Bonfiglioli, 1909.) Large, very double, globular 
flowers of white, striped purplish red. The largest of the striped Roses. A spec¬ 
tacular pillar or large, vigorous shrub. 
Vierge de Clery. (Baron Veillard, 1888.) Snowy white blooms of larger size 
and a little more modern aspect than the older Roses; fragrant and handsome. 
Plants vigorous and hardy. $1 each. 
We Zair. Amaranth-pink with darker tones of Tyrian pink. Pretty bud. 
White Provence. Full, cupped, fragrant flowers of paper-white. Moderate 
erect growth. 
CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
for Old-Fashioned Roses 
Culture: While Old-fashioned Roses are usually neglected and un¬ 
kempt, they will liberally repay good care in fertilization and pruning. 
Pruning: Flowers are borne on old wood. As the plants age, thin out 
oldest wood in the early spring, saving the best 1-year and 2-year stems; 
shorten laterals. 
If they are to be grown for height, prune sparingly, in which case the 
flowers will be less perfect. 
For very fine flowers, cut down to to 4 feet each spring.
