Extra Hardy Varieties only 
We are offering only a small list of absolutely hardy Roses 
that will grow and thrive in the colder parts of the country. 
Where a real hardy Rose is wanted, there are none hardier 
than the Roses carrying Rugosa blood. They blossom almost 
all summer and because of their heavy, glossy foliage, are beau- 
tiful in both plant and blossom. They do as well in the cold 
Dakotas as on the Gulf of Mexico. They carry bloom all summer 
and big red seed pods in winter. For these reasons they are being 
used more and more in foundation plantings, working into 
hedges, borders, etc.

BELLE POITEVINE. Very large blooms. The flowers aré a 
deep pink and come in big clusters. It is a profuse and 
continuous bloomer and is one of the most satisfactory of 
all the Hybrid Rugosas. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST (Baby Rambler—Red Rugosa Cross). 
True Rugosa foliage. Double, bright crimson, borne in 
3 t large clusters like the Baby Rambler, from May continuous- 
Planting Instructions ly until November. One of the most valuable of all Roses 
in the North. In the colder parts of the country it is hard 
to get a continuous bloom from Roses, but these Grooten- 
dorst Roses are true everbloomers. The old blossoms should 
be kept trimmed out as they pass and the bushes will be 
covered with a mass of clusters of little Roses an inch or 
more in diameter of a brilliant red all summer and up until 
frost. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. (H.P.) We consider this the best 
of all the hardy white Roses. The flowers are large, of 
perfect form, and many of them. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. (H.T.) This medium blackish maroon- 
red is the most satisfactory everblooming Rose of this color 
that can be grown in the North. The flowers come in clus- 
ters, and if the old blossoms are cut off as they begin to 
fade, the plant will bloom continuously all summer. F. J. Grootendorst 
HANSA. A very hardy variety 
with large, dark wine-red flow- 
ers. This variety is extensively 
used in the North where large 
plantings are made. Large 
flowers, lots of them; large, 
glossy foliage; big, bright red 
seed pods in winter. 
MRS. JOHN LAING. (H.P.) A 
beautiful soft pink of exquisite 
form. This variety is unusually 
fragrant, even for a Rose. You 
will not be disappointed in this 
fine pink. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. A 
vivid semi-double scarlet that 
holds its color unsually well. 
Each cluster produces from 3 
to 20 flowers. In the extreme 
North, this variety needs to be 
taken from its trellis and cov- 
ered. Probably the most popu- 
lar red climbing Rose. 
PERSIAN YELLOW. (The old- 
fashioned yellow Rose.) Hard- 
iest, most free blooming, and 
best all-around yellow Rose for 
- : the North. A double bush ee 
Gruss an Teplitz Rose. Very profuse. Mrs. John Laing 
[41] 
To hold Roses perfectly in storage, they 
must be kept rather dry. When you receive 
your plants, they will have been all trim- 
med by us ready for planting. Immerse 
your Roses in a pail of water over night. 
Plant so the soil comes up at least two 
inches above where the Rose begins to 
branch. Then bank moist soil into the 
top of the plant, so that just the ends of 
the twigs show above soil. Remove this 
mound of dirt when the buds begin to 
make growth. If handled in this way, you 
should have no trouble with your plants.
