Among our collection of old Roses are a number of varieties of mis¬ 
cellaneous sorts and some which we are wholly unable to identify in type or 
find original descriptions for. 
These Roses are $2.50 each, $20 for 10, unless otherwise noted 
Louis Van Tyle. Small; semi-double; light crimson with black or purple 
shadings. 
Maiden’s Blush. (Kew, 1797.) An old Rose difficult to classify; probably 
a hybrid of R. alba. Flowers pale blush-pink and white. $1.50 each. 
Mme. A. Labbey. A lovely soft pink. Fine color. Probably a Gallica. 
Pergolese. (Robert & Moreau, 1860.) This is a remainder of the once very 
popular Portland class, direct ancestors of the Hybrid Perpetual class, and really 
the first representatives of the hardy everblooming Roses. The medium-sized 
flowers are very full and fragrant and bright purplish crimson shading to lilac. 
Phoebus. This ancient Hybrid Perpetual was introduced in 1837. The very 
large flowers are rosy red. 
Reine d’Espagne. (Fontaine, 1861.) A handsome old Hybrid Perpetual 
with large, very double, deep pink flowers, the outer petals French gray. 
Rose Poncheaux. Wholly unknown as to history and type. Dark red 
blooms borne in clusters of three.
