CHINA or BENGAL ROSES 
These Roses are $1.50 each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount of 10% on any 25 or more Roses 
HE Chinas or Bengals are low and somewhat spread- 
ing, with dainty, almost evergreen, disease-resistant 
foliage. 
Thought at one time to be too tender for northern states, 
they have proved to be as hardy as any of our Roses, flowering 
all summer, and reaching the height of their glory in the fall. 
BIRDIE BLYE. (Van Fleet, 1904.) Pink. 
MUTABILIS (Rosa mutabilis). 
The smaller varieties can be used like Polyanthas for the 
front row of beds or for edgings and they are lovely in solid beds. 
There is an airiness and daintiness to the lovely bloom of the 
Chinas that is not found in other Roses. 
Planting Distance: 15 inches. 
Pruning: Trim lightly like Polyanthas.

EVERBLOOMING SEMI-CLIMBING or PILLAR ROSES 
These Roses are $1.50 each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount of 10% on any 25 or more Roses 
HESE fie old introductions of Peter Lambert, Captain 
Thomas, and The Rey. J. H. Pemberton have long been a 
specialty with us. When Rose-lovers once get to know them, 
they admire and love them for their repeat-blooming qualities 
and their strong shrubby habit of growth. They have a long 
blooming period during June and July, and then again through- 
out the summer and fall seasons. Thrive almost anywhere and 
require very little care. Their heights range from 5 to 8 feet and 
are, therefore, valuable for pillars, fences or as strong shrubs 
without support provided they are kept pruned lightly and 
within bounds. 
Pruning: Retain old wood and new wood. Cut out only dead 
and surplus wood. 
Planting Distance: 3 to 4 feet apart. 
BELINDA. (Bentall, 1936.) Large trusses of 
soft pink blooms. The individual truss is 
formed exactly like the perennial phlox and ts 
the only Rose we know showing this novel 
characteristic. Try at least one for a real Rose 
thrill. Upright, with beautiful foliage. Suitable 
for a hedge, bedding, or short pillar; 4 to 6 
feet. $2.00 each. 
BISHOP DARLINGTON. (Capt. Thomas, 
1926.) Pink. Large, semi-double flowers of 
lovely flesh-pink suffused with yellow at base 
of petals. Vigorous growth; good foliage; a 
profuse and continuous bloomer. Supply 
exhausted until fall 1946. 
BLOOMFIELD DAINTY. (Capt. Thomas, 
1924.) Orange-yellow buds and medium-sized 
single flowers of clear canary-yellow. 
CLYTEMNESTRA. (J. H. Pemberton, 1915.) 
Coppery buds; small, ruffled deep pink flowers 
shading to salmon. 
CORNELIA. (J. H. Pemberton, 1925.) Pink. 
Very double flowers, about 3 inches across, of 
strawberry-pink, flushed yellow, borne in 
abundant, flat sprays. Vigorous shrub habit. 
DAYBREAK. (J. H. Pemberton, 1918.) Golden 
yellow, almost single flowers, freely produced 
mm clusters. Shrub 4 to 5 feet. 
EVA. (Kordes, 1933.) Red. Bud large, carmine- 
red; flower large, semi-double, open, glowing 
carmine-red with white center. Profuse pe- 
riodic bloomer all season. Pillar. 
MRS. GEORGE C. THOMAS. (Capt. Thomas, 
1921.) Orange buds, opening to light salmon- 
pink, semi-double flowers 2 to 2% inches 
across, lighter in the center, suffused with a 
yellow glow. A most attractive flower. Close 
to true everblooming. 
NUR MAHAL. (J. H. Pemberton, 1923.) Semi- 
double, ruffled, light crimson-purple flowers 
with musk fragrance, borne profusely on vig- 
orous, bushy, shrubby plants. A strong pillar 
or climber. 
PAX. (J. H. Pemberton, 1918.) White. Large, 
creamy buds of lovely form, and broad, white 
flowers of much charm; very fragrant. Blooms 
steadily through the summer. 
PENELOPE. (J. H. Pemberton, 1924.) Blush. 
A perpetual-flowering cluster Rose of shrub 
habit. The flowers are shell-pink, but turn 
pure white shading to lemon around centers as 
they age. The best Rose in this Class. 
PROSPERITY. (J., H. Pemberton, 1919.) 
White, rosette-like flowers, tinted with pale 
pink. Borne in profuse, erect clusters. Vigor- 
ous grower and continuous bloomer. Pillar to 
6 to 8 ft. 
REICHSPRASIDENT VON HINDENBURG. 
(P. Lambert, 1933.) A large, brilliant pink 
flower with an overcast of salmon. Intensely 
fragrant. Used as a low pillar, it will produce 
flowers from late spring until frost. Too bad 
this wonderful Rose was introduced with such 
a cumbersome name. We suggest you change 
its name after seeing it bloom. Supply ex- 
hausted until fall 1946. 
VANITY. (J. H. Pemberton, 1920.) Large, 
single, fragrant rose-pink flowers. 
EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING HYBRID TEAS 
All these Climbing Roses are $1.25 each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount of 10% on any 25 or more Roses 
N SOUTHERN States they are glorious; bearing full crops of 
surface of ground and covering with about 6 inches of soil. But 
| Hybrid Tea flowers all season. In the Middle Atlantic States 
and farther north, they frequently do not produce recurrent 
blooms after May or June and, furthermore, are not reliably 
hardy. Experienced gardeners in these colder states sometimes 
winter them successfully by untying the canes from their sup- 
now since there are quite a few reliably hardy climbers offered 
under the large-flowered climber section, we suggest that 
gardeners in the north without too much experience, confine 
their selection to these and avoid possible disappointment. 
Pruning: Retain old and new wood, cutting out only dead or 
ports, loosening the roots on one side, then laying the canes on
