These strikingly unusual roses should be a great deal more widely 
knowvm and used. They are characterized by large waved fragrant 
bloom, shining waxy rugose foliage and extreme health and hardi- 
ness. The great’majority of them are everblooming and with their 
thoroughly distinctive beauty can compete with any known shrub. 

Sry 
ALBERT MAUMENE--This rose is not a rugosa but a most interesting 
and beautiful shrub rose reported to be a cross of Mme. Edouard 
Herriot and Hugonis, the Golden Rose of China. The long pointed 
buds of red-copper are tnose of a fine hybrid Tea, but as the 
rose starts to unfold the center petals remain cupped; the bloom 
finally unfolds into a large airy semi-double cupped blossom of 
true copper shaded red, with yellow blendings. In many weathers 
it hes a sweet honey fragrance. The bush is extremely healthy, 
strong growing and vigorous, making it « fine shrub rose of very 
striking type and color. The colors are richest in some warmth 
and considerable humidity. Blooms continually, profusely. 1.00

All the biz shrub roses resent whacking, but all profit from an 
oc@asional thinning and shaping to preserve contour and get rid 
of useless wood particularly in the center of the plant.
