WYANT Blue-Blood ROSES — 1943 
These Roses do not come in any of the classes before listed and in planting should not be set in 
beds with Hybrid Teas. The following varieties are particularly valuable in masses, hedges, in shrub 
borders, or as specimen shrubs on account of their masses of bloom, their hardiness, healthiness and 
their ability to thrive even under adverse conditions. The Christmas Rose is not a true Rose but is 
one of the few plants which bloom during winter. 
Austrian Copper. Words fail to accurately describe 
the intense beautiful colors in this old favorite. It is 
definitely two-tone. The top a copper red and the 
reverse a flushed yellow. There are numerous small 
blossoms. $1.00. 
Berried Rose Shrubs. Many of us are fond of large 
shrubs which bear fruit heavily, so that they are not 
only handsome in bloom and during the summer, but 
also in the fall and winter. The birds are especialy 
fond of the bright red hips and live off of them all 
winter. Three kinds with growth 5 to 6 feet, two 
with large hips and one with small. 85c. 
Christmas Rose. Produces white waxy blossoms pro- 
fusely outdoors from Thanksgiving until Christmas 
and then off and on all Winter. The Christmas Rose 
( Helleborus niger) is a low, compact perennial with 
evergreen foliage, about 6 in. high and really belongs 
in the rock-garden or among the perennials. $1.00 
each; 3 for $2.50. 
Conrad F. Meyer. The light pink blooms are very 
large and double and occur occasionally throughout 
the Summer. Very vigorous, thorny and fragrant.

Dooryard Delight. Described on page 5. 
F. J. Grootendorst. [In bloom from early Spring 
until late Fall. Blooms in large clusters of fringed 
carnation-like red flowers. 3 to 4 ft. Upright growth. 
85c. 
Harison’s Yellow. One of the lovely old-fashioned 
shrub Roses that we see in the early Spring around 
the older farmhouses as we drive through the country. 
Double deep yellow flowers. The fact that this Rose 
was originated in 1830 and is still popular proves its 
unusual value. 5 ft. 85c. 
Hugonis (The Golden Rose of China). The bright 
yellow flowers, about 2 in. across, come out the 
earliest of any Rose in the Spring. It grows about 
6 ft. high and its branches covered with blossoms arch 
over gracefully. One of the finest of all shrubs for 
specimen planting. 85c. 
Mabelle Stearns. Described on page 6. 
Moss Roses. The old favorites are noted for their de- 
lightful fragrance as well as for the attractive, mossy 
clothing of the bud. Pink; white; yellow. 85c. 
Pink Grootendorst. Just like F. J. Grootendorst 
except that it bears light rose-pink blossoms. 85c. 
Rubrifolia. This is a unique, all-year-round Rose. In 
the early Spring it has great quantities of small, pink, 
star-shaped blooms. Then it bears odd, red-colored 
foliage from which it gets its name. Early in the 
season reddish orange berries or hips form which hold 
through the Fall and early Winter and then also in 
the Winter you have its reddish stems for a contrast. 
Grows 4 to 5 feet high. Quite a Rose for only 85c. 
Vanguard. A great Rose. Grows about 8 feet tall, so 
may be used either asa shrub or pillar Rose. Has very 
large, shiny foliage and beautiful, large blossoms of 
salmon and apricot shadings. 85c. 
York and Lancaster. An ancient variety that is quite 
different. It is said to have originated soon after the 
end of the Wars of the Roses. In the Spring it pro- 
duces large, semi-double white blossoms which are 
streaked and striped with red. Grows 2 to 2% ft. 
high. $1.00.
