To Help You Choose 
Everyone enjoys the scent of Roses, and all 
our everblooming varieties are fragrant; sorts 
marked * have a pronounced perfume, and 
those marked ** even more so. 
The number of petals indicates the double- 
ness of a Rose: one with 17 is a semi-double 
bloom; one with 100 petals is heavy and tight, 
like the old-time cabbage Rose.
