Ftardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best that can be selected 
in the Hybrid Perpetual class, which, before the development of the Hybrid 
Teas, was the most popular type for garden planting, and even now they dare 
not be overlooked, but should be used extensively in conjunction with the other 
sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the Hybrid Tea 
varieties has not been established. 
Arrillaga Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
This is an introduction of Father Schoener. It is the largest pink Rose we 
have ever seen. The big, glowing pink buds develop into gigantic flowers 
of vivid pink with golden glow at base of petals. Very fragrant and lasting. 
Stems are stout and long. Flowers in great profusion. A superb hardy Rose. 
Frau Karl Druschki Each $1.10, Doz. $11.00 
This is the ideal hardy white Rose; pure in color, perfect in form, strong 
grower and remarkably free flowering; superb in every way. 
George Arends or Pink Frau Karl Druschki Each $1.10, Doz. $11.00 
This is a pink form of the popular white Frau Karl Druschki, possessing not 
only the exquisite form, large size, and remarkable free-flowering habits of 
its parent, but in addition to this, it is also highly perfumed. 
Mount Everest Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An enormous flower of crystalline white, delicately tinted with primrose. 
This variety produces the largest white Roses in existence. Fine low growing 
plants, very vigorous. A great variety.

Shr ub Ros A) 
ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, with- 
standing almost anything. 
They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, and by their tough, 
curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or 
shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very 
severe. Many are everbloomers. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this does 
not mean that they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the 
Grootendorst types, yet their foliage does not appear to have much Rugosa 
in it. 
Planting Distance: Hedges—11% to 2 feet. Shrubs—3 to 4 feet. 
Pruning: Shrub types—cut out old canes and shorten new canes to 4 ft. 
Height: 4 to 5 feet, except where noted. 
Dr. Eckener Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Large, fragrant, semi-double flowers of coppery rose and golden yellow; 
very fragrant. Really a Hybrid Tea flower on a Rugosa plant. Remon- 
tant. Five to six feet. 
Grootendorst Supreme Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
An improved variety having large, fringed, cherry-red flowers borne on 
a fine, large, well-foliaged bush. Excellent as a hedge. 
Pink Grootendorst Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Double flowers of a clear pink. Everblooming Baby Rugosa type blooms. 
Rugosa Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Large, single flowers in shades of pink, magenta, and rosy crimson. 
Repeats during the season. Attractive large red berries. 
Rugosa alba Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Large single white flowers throughout the entire summer followed by 
large red fruits. 
Sir Thomas Lipton Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
It is one of the earliest Roses to bloom, starting to open its semi-double, 
pure white blossoms in late May and continuing freely until late fall. 
The exceptionally fine fragrance alone qualifies it as a garden Rose. 
For hardiness, tolerance and usefulness, Sir Thomas Lipton has no equals. 
Maximum height 4 to 5 feet. Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois Test 
Garden Bulletin of July, 1940. 
AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSE 
Harrison’s Yellow Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Fine double golden yellow flowers. 

Lipstick Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A “shrub” Rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 feet. It blooms 
continuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This European 
variety certainly is a most interesting addition. There are so few tall 
growing Roses; it will be most welcome. 
Skyrocket Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
A real everblooming Shrub Rose producing enormous flower clusters 
throughout the entire season. Makes a magnificent display with its 
large clusters composed of medium sized brilliant red blooms. Of sturdy,

in combination with various kinds of shrubs. A forerunner of a distinct 
new race. 
Red Ripples (Patent Applied For) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00

a joyous color, an intense, scintillating red that seems to_ sparkle on 
the wavy petaled flowers. Magnificent in mass plantings. The daintily 
modeled, long-lasting buds are simply perfect for boutonnieres. Growth 
2\y feet. 
Golden Rose of China 
ROSA HUGONIS

delicate yellow single flowers produced on long 
arching sprays early in May; after it has fin- 
ished flowering it remains an attractive decora- 
tive bush for the balance of the season; per- 
fectly hardy.
