AGNES—Coppery yellow buds and flow¬ 
ers which become pale amber-gold up¬ 
on opening. They are well shaped, 
sweetly fragrant, and freely produced 
in early summer. Foliage grayish. 
Growth moderate. The only Rugosa 
which is a true yellow. 
BLANC DE COUBERT —Snow white 
blooms, double and fragrant, and ar¬ 
ranged in clusters. This variety is at 
its best in the summer and fall. In form 
it closely resembles the Hansa, and like 
that variety is excellent for hedges. 
Thrives in the coldest places. Especially 
pretty in half open bud. 
BELLE POITEVINE—The full, double 
flowers are of bright rose pink and in 
loose clusters. Blooms start in June and 
continue until fall. Very dense grow¬ 
ing. Ideal for hedges and foundation 
plantings; but also makes a good speci¬ 
men. Entirely hardy. 
CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER—Very 
large, well-built flowers of light silvery 
pink, profusely produced on long stems 
from the enormous canes. Often called 
the handsomest Rugosa. A well grown 
plant is a miraculous sight in full flow¬ 
er. Must have plenty of room to grow. 
DR. ECKNER—Large, fragrant, semi¬ 
double, yellow flowers tinted with 
orange and coppery rose. Very hardy 
and makes a 6 ft. bush which blooms 
intermittently from June to September. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST—Bright crimson. 
A new variety of unusual merit com¬ 
monly called ‘The Baby Rambler Ru¬ 
gosa Rose.” Because of its iron-clad 
hardiness it may be used in shrub bord¬ 
ers. With its continuous production of 
clusters of bright crimson bloom, it

Eskimo Roses 
The Hardiest Everbloomers 
The Rugosa Rose Hybrids, or Eskimo 
Roses, as they are often called because 
of their extreme hardiness, are the best 
roses for general growing throughout the 
Northwest as they are not only perpetual 
bloomers, most attractive in appearance 
of bloom, foliage and hips, highly fra¬ 
grant, but are thoroughly hardy without 
winter protection in Minnesota and the 
Dakotas. The beautiful double blossoms 
are vastly superior to those of the old 
style rugosa roses. They usually require 
no spraying and are the most easily grown 
of all the roses. They should be used fre¬ 
quently in the border as are the hardy 
shrubs. We offer the outstanding varie¬ 
ties. 
Large 2-year No. 1 plants, 60c each; 3- 
year No. 1 plants, 85c each (except 
Hansa). 
stands out strikingly from early sum¬ 
mer until frost. 
HANSA—Deep red. One of the hardiest, 
most dependable and most all round 
satisfactory of the red roses. The large, 
double red flowers have an attractive 
violet tinge, and are produced in great 
abundance from early summer until 
late fall. The plants are vigorous grow¬ 
ers with shiny green foliage and hardy 
enough to stand the most severe cli¬ 
mate without protection. If you love 
red roses in profusion all season in the 
shrub border, the rose garden or as a 
hedge, then plant Hansa. It never dis¬ 
appoints! 2 yr. No. 1, 50c each; 3 yr., 
60c each. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON—Snowy white. 
The large, double, pure white blossoms 
of this splendid variety are borne con¬ 
tinuously in clusters on strong stems. 
The foliage is a very attractive dark 
leathery green. An outstanding favor¬ 
ite. 
ROSES EASY TO GROW 
There is no mystery about the culture 
of roses. If their few simple needs are 
tended to they may be grown as readily 
as our other common shrubs. The hardy 
Rugosa Hybrids, for instance, require no 
more care than a Hydrangea. Neverthe¬ 
less, they will respond more generously to 
understanding care in the way of cultiva¬ 
tion, fertilization and pruning than do 
most shrubs. 
The same is true of the less hardy va¬ 
rieties that we list except that they, in 
most locations, require some form of sim¬ 
ple winter protection.
