OLD-FASHIONED ROSES 
WE HAVE THE MOST COMPLETE LIST IN AMERICA 
H istory, sentiment, poets, and scribes are all entwined with 
these old Roses, and the fact that we moderns can have in our 
gardens the Roses so loved by the ancients, adds much to their 
attractiveness. They have that sweet and powerful fragrance 
associated with Roses, but seldom found in our modern varieties, 
colors from the softest to the most vivid, and hardiness and disease- 
resistance to withstand the coldest climes and roughest handling. 
Pruning: Flowers are borne on old wood. As the plants age. 
thin out old 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 3^^ to 4 feet each spring. 
These Roses are hardy and will grow in ordinary garden soil, but 
will liberally repay good care in fertilizing and pruning.

THE FRENCH ROSE

Nobody knows when the French Rose was
