The Genuine OLD RED MOSS Rose of the 17th Centu j-y Lester Photo 
GREEN ROSE (18 56)—A rose sometimes dismissed as a freak but it is far more; the perfect 
example of a plant that in so perfectly imitating a true flower, seems to have a keen sense of humor, 
for its lasting, novel, green "flowers” are no flowers at all but leaves in perfect flower form, borne 
all year long unless frost prevents, often tinged with bronze and most attractive. The only rose of 
its kind. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ —Fine type of a really everblooming rose, descendant of noble rose ancestors; 
bears from early spring to late frost double, lasting flowers of deepest scarlet and intensely fragrant. 
Foliage is abundant and very disease-resistant; growth most vigorous, attaining shrub height. 
Grows rankly in any soil. 
HARRISON’S YELLOW (1830); (The 
Old Fashioned Yellow Brier) — 
Shrub rose with small, very double, 
gold-yellow flowers and fern-like fol¬ 
iage; brought to the West by the cov¬ 
ered wagon pioneer women in the gold- 
rush days. 
HERMOSA (1840) T —Old favorite with 
globular bright rose double flowers, 
continuous bloomer. $1.5 0. 
HUGONIS (Father Hugo’s Rose) —Most 
valuable species rose from China, of 
erect, branching growth, up to 6 feet 
or more, making a handsome shrub. 
Foliage is fern-like and beautiful; in 
the fall tinged purple. Flowers 2 inches 
wide, single, pale yellow, very graceful, 
borne in utmost profusion completely 
clothing the spreading branches making 
a striking display in the spring. Very 
hardy, dependable and resistant. 
LA FRANCE (1867) T—Invaluable old 
Then the Indians, whom the dead father had baptized and confirmed, brought Roses with which to 
adorn his dead body, and, weeping at his death, they did not want to go away. 
Fray Francisco Palou, Writing from Carmel, Cal¬ 
ifornia, September 7 , 1784 , to advise Fray Juan 
Sancho of the Death of Fray Junipero Serra.
