Hybrid Perpetual, Rugosa, and Other Roses 
While varieties in this group will not give bloom over such long season as the Hybrid Tea 
Roses, there are a number of old favorites which cannot be displaced by any of the newer sorts. 
These are particularly suited for shrub roses, since they are exceptionally hardy and are not 
damaged by cold. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY—Flowers very full, large, 
globular; petals heavily veined. Color a deep 
rose red; wonderfully fragrant. Not a vigorous 
grower or heavy bloomer, but an old favorite. 
CONRAD F. MEYER—A Hybrid Rugosa with 
large ovoid buds, double cupped, flowers of 
clear silvery pink borne in clusters. Foliage 
dark leathery, and the plant is a vigorous 
grower. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST—A Hybrid Rugosa with 
Polyantha characteristics in that the small 
flowers are borne in clusters. Flowers very 
double, edges of petals frilled or serrate; 
bright red. Foliage small crinkled and dark 
green. A vigorous grower, hardy and a good 
bloomer. 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI—Often called White 
American Beauty. A hardy, strong grower wich 
light green foliage. The flowers are large, very 
full, snow white with occasional tinge of pink 
on outside petals. The stems are stiff, rather 
thorny, ana somewhat woody. The magnificent 
blooms are borne profusely in spring and the 
plant wil! give bloom at intervals during the 
season if kept in good growing condition. 
GENERAL JACQUEMINOT—Flower of medium 
size, bright crimson and very fragrant, bloom- 
ing several together on single stem. An old 
favorite, but because of its annual blooming 
period has been replaced by the newer sorts 
which bloom more frequently. 
GENERAL WASHINGTON—The large full open 
flowers are bright carmine with tints of pur- 
plish red. Not so good as many of the newer 
sorts, though it is a strong healthy grower 
and a splendid spring bloomer. 
HANSA—A Hybrid Rugosa with large, purplish- 
red flowers. A vigorous rampant grower, one 
of its attractions being its bright fruits or seed 
pods. 
HUGONIS—“The Golden Rose of China.” A beau- 
tiful shrub-like Rose with thick dainty foliage 
and long arching, thorny branches of bronze 
and red. The dainty single flowers of bright 
golden yellow with centers of orange-gold 
stamens completely cover the branches in the 
spring, making graceful long sprays of exquisite 
beauty, while the red fruits are colorful in sum- 
mer and fall. An extremely hardy Rose and 
one of the best for hedges or for individual 
specimens. 
PAUL NEYRON—In a class to itself because of 
its enormous blooms and the long, erect, stiff 
stems which carry few thorns. The flowers 
are full, deep rosy-pink, with good fragrance. 
Gives a wealth of bloom in spring and again 
in the fall where plants are well fed and culti- 
vated and kept pruned. One of the largest of 
all Roses. 
ULRICH BRUNNER—A Hybrid Perpetual with 
large, fairly full cupped flowers of carmine 
red, produced in clusters on good stems. Good 
foliage and a hardy, erect grower. 
Dwarf Polyantha or Baby Roses 
These are ideal for mass planting in beds, for borders, or for edging along walks. The plants 
are dwarf in growth but produce abundance of upright, stiff stems on which are borne the single 
or double small flowers in immense clusters, ofttimes a single stem carrying a veritable bouquet. 
CECILE BRUNNER—tThe Sweetheart Rose, of 
Polyantha type. The flowers are borne in 
clusters, are small but shaped like a perfect 
Tea Rose. A soft delicate silvery pink with 
salmon tints at base of petals. Foliage bright 
green. Plant a dwarf grower and a continuous 
bloomer. 
CHATILLON ROSE—A Polyantha rose borne in 
medium clusters on normal stem; flowers medi- 
um, semi-double, and bright pink. Foliage 
abundant, glossy, rich green. A profuse and 
continuous bloomer. 
EBLOUISSANT—A dazzling red Polyantha with 
large clusters on medium stem; flowers ex- 
tremely double with slight fragrance; a fine red 
with strong healthy growth. 
ELLEN POULSEN—Flowers much larger than 
the usual Baby Roses. Clusters large, on good 
stems.. A free and vigorous grower and 
abundant bloomer. Color a bright rose pink. 
GEORGE ELGER—A yellow Baby Rambler. Buds 
small; flowers medium, golden yellow shaded 
coppery gold. Large clusters of flowers on 
good stems. A dwarf bushy grower and a con- 
tinuous bloomer. 
GLORIA MUNDI—The small, double flowers are 
borne in large clusters. The color is a dazzling 
orange-scarlet which does not fade. A constant 
bloomer which will be a bright spot in your 
garden. 
GOLDEN SALMON—A Baby Rambler of novel 
color. Plants dwarf and bushy, bearing clusters 
of small flowers of bright orange-salmon. A 
splendid variety for massing or border planting. 
IDEAL—A compact, dwarf grower with good 
clusters of rich garnet-red flowers of medium 
size. A continuous bloomer and one of the 
best of the Baby Roses. 
KATHARINA ZEIMET—Bud and flower small, 
pure white, and borne in dense clusters on short 
stocky stems, almost covering the plant. A 
vigorous, dwarf growing sort of the Baby type 
and a constant bloomer. 
LAFAYETTE—In strong demand as a _ bedder 
because of its continuous bloom almost all 
summer. Flowers are borne in large clusters; 
color a bright cherry-pink. Ideal for borders 
and massed effects.
