MOUNTAIN STATES ROSES 
These varieties are some which are especially good for the high elevations and in 
some cases are distinctly not good on the seacoast except in the latter part of the sum- 
mer and then of course they are magnificent except Mme. Joseph Perraud which has 
its best place in the mountain states and in the dry Kansas-Oklahoma area. There is no 
question but that any of them will be a good rose from my plant any place but these 
belong in the above classification. 
BRAZIER—This is named after a glowing brazier of coals and is kladescopic of the 
most brilliant orange scarlets, reds with an orange overtone and finally when a day 
old a brilliant magenta. The color effect of this rose is startling to say the least, 
not to mention that it is a terrific bloomer. I know of many who use day-old blooms

DR. KIRKE—A gorgeous copper with a touch of salmon on a strong growing plant. 
This does not have its full color except when well watered and grown in a very 
cool, high climate; then it is magnificent with its perfect long bud and is also very

FAIENCE—Two toned peach and cadmium yellow mixed and blended coppery rose and 
China pink. These sound like a lot of colors but at times you might think you could 
add some more for in its proper location which is high elevations it has almost every- 
thing. Though in the coastal areas it is only good in the middle of the summer when the 
temperatures are high. It wants lots of light. Really perfect in form of both bud

MRS. SAM McGREDY—This most magnificent rose is a steady prize winner in all 
sections. It does not like the hot sections, but I have been taken to task by so many 
customers from those sections that I shall have to amend that. My plants seem to 
please in those areas. Maybe they put them where the afternoon shade protects them. 
Color, which is taken at its best in the cool sections and varies exactly according to 
your heat and lack of humidity, compliments the long pointed scarlet-copper buds 
opening to a high centered bloom of apricot to salmon pink. Many shrubs are grown 
for their foliage alone—none approach the olive to purplish red of this rose....... $1.50 
TREASURE ISLAND—Gorgeous, extremely long pointed buds that in the heat 
achieve coppery pink with shades of salmon and orange. Its colors are best when 
warm weather comes; in fact, in cool weather in the spring it is only a pink rose. 
Then as it gets warmer it gets richer in color opening to a bloom having quilled 
petals of light salmon edged paler. Originally this was a very poor grower but I 
have constantly improved it every year so that now it has ample vigor though it is 
not a tall grower. Do not whack this plant, let it grow as large as possible. You 
who are in the mountain states need this rose badly as it is made for your climate.

WINTER PROTECTION 
It has been forced onto my attention that some of my customers are not cover- 
ing the mound deep enough over the top of the roses—this is being done in the cold 
sections of the U.S.A. Now note positively—the rose is tender without soil protec- 
tion deeply over the top of the plants, You may get by for a while because of my 
strong plants, but not always. After covering, put green boughs on top to keep mound 
solidly frozen.
