CHINA OR B 
Most of the Roses in this group are low and somewhat spreading, 
with dainty, almost evergreen, disease-resistant foliage. 
Thought at one time to be too tender for northern states, they 
have proved to be as hardy as any of our Roses, flowering all summer 
and reaching the height of their glory in the fall. 
These Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10 of i
