Everblooming Baby Ramblers 
Bush Roses—Always in Bloom 
Grow 18 to 24 Inches High 
The most truly everblooming of all Roses. They are scarcely 
ever without flowers during the growing season. They are the first 
to bloom and continue until the last, even into October after the 
frosts have cut down the others. They are not climbers as the 
jerm rambler might indicate, but a bush rose growing 18 inches to 
2 feet high and are proving more popular each year for bedding, 
borders and hedges, Flowers are produced in clusters or sprays of 
a dozen or more, and are excellent for mixed bouquets.

valuable of all Roses for permanent planting, as they will succeed almost any place. 
in the North think they cannot grow Roses because of the severe winters, but Roses can be grown in 
any climate, provided the right kinds are planted. 
Our stock has been constantly selected from plants showing persistent everblooming habits. 
Hybrid 
Perpetuals should be given severe pruning after the spring blooming season to induce best bloom for 
late summer and fall.

ESKIMO BEAUTY 
ROSES 
Hardiest Roses in Cultivation 
Rugosa Roses and their hybrids, commonly 
known as the Eskimo Beauties, are the hardiest 
race of roses in cultivation. They are not only 
suited to the coldest Northern States, but do 
equally as well in the South and West; in the 
mountains and at the sea shore; in fact, they 
will grow most anywhere, requiring no care or 
protection and will adapt themselves perfectly 
in rough places and neglected corners of your 
yard. Also valuable for their resistance to in- 
sects, disease, blight, etc. They make dense 
compact shrubs 4 to 6 feet in height and are 
very useful as well as ornamental both as speci- 
men plants and in the shrubbery border. They 
are the most dependable of all roses and should 
be liberally planted. 
’ A severe pruning immediately following the 
spring blooming period will bring an abundance 
of bloom through late summer and fall.
