robust growth, clothed with large, rough, light 
green leaves. Their flowers are very freely pro- 
duced and are generally borne in trusses of three

second only to that of the Cabbage and the 
Moss Roses.

The Cabbage Rose 
Rosa centifotia 
The Cabbage or Provence Rose has been 
grown in gardens for so many centuries that 
nobody knows where or when it originated. It 
is probably the most fragrant of all Roses and 
has been grown in certain favorable climates in 
Europe for ages to manufacture rose-water and 
attar of roses. 
CABBAGE (Rosa centifolia). This is the original 
Provence Rose, with double, nodding flowers 
of light pink, paling at the edges soon after 
opening. The name “Cabbage” is suggested 
by the tncurved globular form—not the size. 
The blooms are no larger than a small Hybrid 
Tea flower. $1.50 each. 
KONIGIN VON DANEMARK. (Booth Bros., 
1898.) Flowers medium size, very full, fra- 
grant, flesh-pink with darker center. Vigorous. 
$2.00 each. Sold out until fall 1948. 
PERSUE DE GOSSART. A large double 
flower of velvety cerise with garnet reflexes. 
Very distinct and shows the true Cabbage 
Rose formation. $2.00 each. 
PROLIFERA OF REDOUTE. Resembles the 
old Cabbage Rose, except that its sepals are 
longer and more fringed. Often bears another 
flower in the center of the blossom. A curiosity. 
$2.00 each. 
RED PROVENCE. (Old.) Clear rose-pink 
flowers, deeper in center. These are of large 
size, cupped in form, and are very fragrant. 
$2.00 each. 
ROSE DES PEINTRES. Rose-color to deep 
rose-pink; Iarge and full, with raised center, 
Vigorous growth. The Rose of the old Dutch 
painters of still life. $2.00 each, 
VARIEGATA DI BOLOGNA.  (Bonfiglioli, 
1909.) This is the largest of all striped Roses 
and shows the pure white background with 
purplish red vemings on each petal. Plant 
makes a spectacular pillar or large, vigorous 
shrub. The blooms are the true large, double, 
globular, Cabbage Rose type. $2.00 each. 
VIERGE DE CLERY. (Baron Veillard, 1888.) 
Snow-white blooms of large size; exceedingly 
fragrant. Considered the best white Cabbage 
Rose in existence. $2.00 each.
