Rosa Setigera 
Baby Rambler 
PRAIRIE or BUSH ROSES 
Class of roses of native origin. For that reason they are hardy and need no 
winter protection. The varieties listed below have attractive single pink flowers 
ranging from 1 Yi to 2 inches in size. These are followed by red fruits or 
haws in the fall, giving a colorful winter effect. Some varieties have foliage 
with special characteristics such as fragrance, summer color and fall color. They 
grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Their period of bloom extends for 3 to 4 weeks in 
June and July after most other shrubs are through, making them very useful 
in extending the period of bloom and adding additional variety and color to the 
landscape planting. They are also used for naturalizing on hillsides, as bank 
covers, for parks, cemeteries, and other public grounds. They grow easily and 
require practically no pruning and attention in after years. 
BLANDA (Meadow Rose). Strong growing rose, 3 to 5 ft. high, with thornless 
branches of reddish purple color. Soft pink flowers. Red fruit pods in the 
fall. Will grow on poor and sandy soil. 
CAROLINE (Marsh Rose). A rose for wet or moist soils. 
RUBRIFOLIA (Red-Leaf Rose). A very unusual rose because of its bronze-red 
foliage. 
SWEET BRIAR (Rubiginosa). The fragrant leaves of the well-known Sweet 
Briar are its outstanding characteristic. They are of a shining blue-green 
color, tinged with reddish purple. Crimson fruit. 
SETIGERA (Prairie Rose). Characterized by its long, arching branches, growing 
from 5 to 8 feet long and bending over to the ground. The display of pink 
flowers in July is gorgeous and comes at a time when most spring and early 
summer shrubs are out of bloom. 
AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSES 
AND RELATED TYPES 
A yellow flowered early blooming species that add 
variety and charm to the landscape. Mostly used as 
bushes in, or as part of, a shrub planting; sometimes in 
the foundation planting, or again, in the shrub border. 
They are all very hardy and require little, if any, 
pruning. Grow 4 to 6 feet high. 
PERSIAN YELLOW. The lovely old-fashioned yellow 
rose of our grandmother’s garden. It grows into an 
open bush with long canes and golden yellow, semi- 
double flowers blooming in early June. 
HARRISON’S YELLOW. Like the Persian Yellow 
rose, but a more vigorous grower; the flowers are 
more double. 
HUGONIS (Golden Rose of China). Hugonis takes 
first place among the single flowered early sorts. Just 
before bridal wreath season it is completely covered 
with large, clear yellow flowers, borne profusely along 
the slender arching branches, making a striking dis¬ 
play. It is a vigorous grower, dependable, and a 
first-class yellow flowering shrub. Excellent for plant¬ 
ing in groups in the shrub border, in the foundation 
planting, or as a single specimen. 
DR. E. M. MILLS (Pink Hugonis). Like the Hugonis 
but has semi-double pink flowers of medium size and 
a cupped form. 
BABY RAMBLER ROSES 
OR POLYANTHA ROSES 
A dwarf class of everblooming roses growing about 
1 >/i to 2 feet high. Blossom from June to October. The 
flowers are small, usually double, and carried in such 
large clusters that the plant is covered with color. They 
are superb for edging or massing. Need winter pro¬ 
tection, for which see page 28. 
We Can Supply these in RED, PINK, and WHITE.
