Breck’s Roses 
Everblooming Cluster Roses of Distinction 
Sometimes classed as Polyantha Roses 
Under this heading we are listing a collection of free-blooming bedding Roses of types formerly classed as Polyanthas, Tea-Polyanthas, 
Hybrid Teas, and Baby Ramblers. 
There are indications that certain of these varieties with large, double flowers, such as Gruss an Aachen, Pink Gruss an Aachen and 
White Aachen, are to be the basis of a new class to be known as Floribunda, but until this plan for classification has been more fully 
developed w r e prefer to use the above heading and include under it the splendid varieties of everblooming bush Roses that to all intents 
and purposes represent a natural group. This group can best be described as one “comprising Roses of more or less compact bush 
form and truly amazing for their abundant and consistent bloom, their lovely color, and pleasing flower form, and their general 
hardiness and freedom from diseases and pests that prove so troublesome to many of the Hybrid Teas.” Brighten your garden by 
planting these charming little everblooming bush Roses. You will be delighted with them. They will become your friends and you 
will become theirs. 
Except where otherwise noted, dormant plants of these Bush Roses are 75c each; potted plants, $1.00 each 
Three or more plants shipped at one time to one address: Dormant plants, 65c each; potted, 90c each

robust plant with light green foliage and hundreds of double,

shaped, pale silvery pink flowers on strong stems. Blooms have 
the best form of those of any Rugosa.

development. Plants are bushy, hardy, and heavily branched, 
bearing clusters of small, fringed, bright scarlet flowers through¬ 
out the entire season. Splendid hedging plant.

handsome shrub as a border plant. 60c each; 10 for $5.00.

introduces a marvelous new color into this group of splendid 
shrub Roses. The plants are vigorous, making big, arching 
bushes with varnished foliage of great beauty, and double 
flowers of striking golden salmon-pink, paling as they open to 
bright flesh-color, tinted with yellow.
