zed POLYANTHA ROSES 
All of these Roses are $1.25 each, except where noted, less quantity discount of 10% on 
any 25 or more Polyanthas 
_THILE it isnot always possible to draw a sharp line when classifying Large- and Small-flowered 
\) \) Polyanthas, still there 1s enough difference so they may be grouped separately. The individual 
flowers in this class are smaller, though very often the clusters are as large as Floribundas; 
heights in general are lower so these make good edging plants or low mass plantings. All Polyanthas 
are as nearly everblooming as Roses can be. They live and bloom year after year with comparatively 
little attention. 
Planting Distance: Average 15 inches. 
Height: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
Pruning: Prune lightly to desired height, removing old cluster heads and thin out dead wood. 
CAMEO. (de Ruiter, 1932.) Salmon. A distinct 
shade of shell-pink and salmon, with a glow of 
gold. A compromise between the pink and the 
orange-salmon Roses. Positively one of the 
best in this class. 
CAROL ANN. (A. Kluis, 1940.) Pat. 707: 
Salmon-orange. Globe-shaped flowers in large 
clusters; does not discolor or fade in the hottest 
sun. The plants seldom attain a height of over 
1 foot. Heretofore most of the so-called low- 
growing Polyanthas attained too much height 
when fully matured but here is one that really 
stays low and produces abundant bloom at the 
same time. 
CECILE BRUNNER. (Vve. Ducher, 1881.) 
Blush. The ‘Sweetheart Rose.’ Small, ex- 
quisitely formed bud and flower of light pink 
with yellow base. The grace and delicacy of 
this Rose is unsurpassed. It is the perfect Rose 
for nosegays and corsages; also splendid for 
borders and massing. $1.50 each. 
CHATILLON ROSE. (Nonin, 1923.) Bright 
pink, semi-double blooms touched with orange. 
Enormous clusters of bloom on nice plants of 
medium height. 
ELLEN POULSEN. (D. T. Poulsen, 1912.) 
Pink. Large, compact clusters borne profusely 
on a dwarf, bushy plant 15 to 18 mches high. 
Large, full, rose-pmk flowers. 
ERNA GROOTENDORST. (R. Grootendorst, 
1938.) Deep velvety crimson. very inter- 
esting sort, new in U.S. A. A true, low-growing 
(12-15 inches) Polyantha. 
GOLDEN SALMON. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1926.) 
Bright orange-scarlet buds which quickly turn 
to a bright, blazing orange. Makes a splendid 
display when planted in masses. 
MARGO KOSTER. (Koster, 1935.) Light 
orange, slightly flushed pink. The individual 
flowers are globe-shaped like the ranunculus. 
Seldom grows over a foot. Ideal for edging. 
MISS EDITH CAVELL. (Meiderwyk, 1917.) 
Red. Small, semi-double, scarlet-red blooms 
shaded darker. Strong, bushy plants. 
ORANGE TRIUMPH. (Kordes, 1937.) Large, 
double, scarlet-orange flowers in huge clusters, 
combined with good, glossy foliage. 
SUNSHINE. (Robichon, 1927.) Orange. Small, 
full flowers, golden orange when first opening, 
changing to soft peachy pink. Its fragrance is so 
pronounced and pleasing that a few blooms 
will scent a whole room. Dwarf plants bloom 
freely. $1.50 each. 
TRIOMPHE ORLEANAIS. (Peauger, 1912.) 
Bright cherry-red, long-lasting, almost fade- 
less, large flowers borne in clusters. Plant is 
green foliage. It is the fimest cherry-red 
Polyantha for border and hedge planting. 
YVONNE RABIER. (Turbat, 1910.) Very 
close to the ideal white Polyantha because of 
excellent bushy habit and bright green, glossy 
foliage; highly disease resistant.

CHINA or BENGAL ROSES 
These Roses are $1.50 each net; no discount 
HE Chinas or Bengals are low and somewhat spreading, 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. 
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. 
BIRDIE BLYE. (Van Fleet, 1904.) Pink. 
Double, pink, fragrant flowers in spreading 
clusters. Bush or pillar Rose up to 4 to 5 feet. 
COMTESSE DU CAYLA. (P. Guillot, 1902.) 
Bicolor. Lovely buds of coppery orange; 
flowers reddish orange and yellow. 2 to 3-foot 
bush. 10 petals. 
CRAMOISI SUPERIOR. (Coquereau, 1832.) 
Exquisitely shaped buds and small, very double 
cupped flowers of velvety crimson, freely pro- 
duced from spring until autumn. A good edg- 
ing or bedding Rose, and also suitable for 
growing in pots. Sold out until fall 1947. 
HERMOSA. (Marcheseau, 1840.) Pink. Me- 
dium-sized, soft pink, double flowers. Good 
healthy, bushy plants up to 2 feet. This is a 
favorite of three generations. 35 petals. 
MUTABILIS (Rosa mutabilis). This unusual 
species gives flowers of several colors on the one 
plant. Looks and acts like a China. Large, 
single flowers of rose-pink, yellow, buff, and 
orange are produced all summer. Bushy plant 
2 to 3 feet high. Very scarce. 
East Rutherford, N. J. 
NEMESIS. (Bizard, 1836.) Double crimson 
flowers; very free. This is one of the 15 Law- 
ranceanas catalogued a century ago and was 
the strongest growing of them. Supply ex- 
hausted until fall 1947. 
OLD BLUSH. (Parsons, 1796.) Pink. The 
original China Rose. Bright pink flowers which 
darken with age. Still one of the best 2-foot 
bushes. 33 petals. 
THE GREEN ROSE (Rosa chinensis viridiflora). 
Green. The flower formation consists of a 
“tuft” of green sepals, with no colored petals at 
all; hence the name of this most unusual variety.

The World’s Best Tea Rose 
DUCHESSE DE BRABANT. (H. B. Bernede, 
1857.) Tulip-shaped, double flowers of China 
pink turning to flesh color. Vigorous, bushy
