Baby Rambler Roses 
Dwarf Polyantha Class—Polyantha meaning “Many bloom or many flowers.” 
These are all small, compact, bushy, decidedly dwarf varieties that grow about 
2 feet high. All bloom in large clusters of small, double flowers. They are all ever- 
blooming Roses and make wonderfully attractive small hedges or edging borders 
for the Rose garden. 
Habit of growth 
of Baby Ramblers 
Baby Rambler. Crimson. The original and best known 
in this class. The plant grows to about 2 feet, forming 
immense clusters of small, double crimson blooms, 
often as many as 20 to 30 individual flowers to the 
cluster. They last well and are very showy through the 
summer. Also supplied in pink. 
Cecile Brunner (Sweetheart Rose). Small, perfectly 
formed pink and gold buds and flowers. 
Ellen Poulsen. A splendid variety. Blooms profusely 
on a dwarf bushy plant. Gorgeous large flowers of 
bright rose-pink. 
Gloria Mundi. Brilliant orange-scarlet flowers in huge 
clusters. 
Golden Salmon. A brilliant luminous scarlet-orange 
flower makes this one of the most striking Roses of 
this group. A new color. Profuse bloomer. Strong 
thrifty grower with mildew-proof foliage. 
Orange Perfection. A gorgeous orange-red, the best 
type for general purposes. 
Orleans. Brilliant light red flowers with white centers 
borne in large trusses. Blooms throughout the summer. 
Plant is a very vigorous and healthy grower. 
Rugosa and Hybrid Rugosa Roses 
The Roses in this group are all of great hardiness; 
they are the hardiest of all Roses. They succeed in 
Minnesota and Wisconsin and under conditions of the 
utmost severity. 
The Rugosa wood is rough; the foliage is thick and 
leathery, rich dark green, healthy and persistent. For 
hedges and grouping, the Rugosas are especially suitable, 
making large bushes 6 feet high and over. 
The Rugosa Hybrids all have the hardiness of the 
Rugosa parents but not always the same wood nor leaves, 
as noted below. 
Where great cold is experienced, we recommend these 
Rugosa Roses; they are the hardiest and will survive 
where no others will. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. (Rugosa Hybrid). The flow¬ 
ers are of great size, perfectly double, clear rosy pink 
in color. The plant makes a great growth, not rough 
like true Rugosa wood, nor is the foliage the same. 
Plere is a Rose that combines size, color and quality of 
a Tea, and everblooming habit, with extreme hardiness. 
Especially recommended for every climate. 
F. J. Grootendorst. A new Rose of great merit. A cross 
between Rugosa and Baby Rambler. Leaves are fine, 
lasting through heat and dust and the fine red blooms 
brighten the garden wonderfully. Ideal for a hedge. 
Very hardy and everblooming. 
Pink Grootendorst. Almost exactly like F. J. Grooten¬ 
dorst, but is a light pink, hardy. 
Rugosa Alba. White Rugosa, with the typical rough 
wood, and thick, abundant, dark leaves; single, white 
flowers, that are followed by conspicuous seed pods of 
great size and brilliant color, creating a showy effect 
in the late summer and autumn. 
Rubra. (Red Rugosa). Similar in all respects to the 
White Rugosa except in having large, single, bright 
crimson blooms followed by equally attractive berries.
