WEEPING ROSE TREES 
All are budded at six feet and are packed free; but you will have to pay 
Sueeexpress charges. No further discount... $7.00 each 
These have taken years to perfect. In the first place a non-suckering 
root is budded with the kind of rose I use for the stem which has to have 
borer resistance as well as perfect health and hardiness. Must have an 
affinity for the rose that is to grow on it. These are six feet to the union of 
the weeper on top—some of them weep right from the union and some have 
to grow large before they weep down. I will designate the type by saying 
“quick” or “slow” weeper. The slow weepers have to get about ten feet 
across before coming to the ground which with these weepers takes to the 
second year though they bloom profusely the first season. Naturally this is 
for a larger area than a faster weeper. These do not warit anything planted 
under them but have grass right up to the trunk. You should get an inch- 
thick iron pipe, 9 feet long and drive it in the ground three feet deep as. 
the top or head is so tremendously heavy they always need support. 
Some are hardy enough for your eastern climate and some are only 
for the coastal areas. 
Consider profanity used on the gardener who knows all about planting 
roses and refuses to follow planting instructions carefully. I make a Special 
product and then have some party think they know all about them and then 
ignore my instructions then later they write saying what is the matter with 
fiesirecs) Do . , It ain’t the trees it is the one who knows all about the 
planting. There is a huge area to allow transpiration and consider that it 
takes much time for the roots to take hold of the ground, naturally the tops 
have to be covered with some medium allowing a little air but stopping 
evaporation, so I state use wax paper both to wrap the stem and the top of 
the tree till growth starts, and not till, or when some nerson thinks it has 
been on long enough. These tall trees are not a natural thing but man made 
and the rose in nature had made no provision to carry the sap that far, im- 
mediately on planting when possibly the temperatures went to 80 or more. 
Also about my Bush roses, there are those who ignore my planting instruc- 
tions and refuse to paint the huge wounds on the top where there is so 
much evaporation that often the big wood dies and you never get the re- 
sults that you could have otherwise. After this follow my instructions in- 
stead of doing what some other person says. 
American Pillar is a fast weeper that is perfectly hardy, having medium 
sized blooms of a bright pink with a white eye. 
Bloomfield Courage is a fast weeper that is a most brilliant scarlet and 
holds the color. Has glossy foliage. Plant will stand several degrees below 
zero without protection. However, if you have more cold, lay it down and 
wrap or cover it. Stem is very hardy. 
WEEPING ROSE TREES—Continued 
I have only a very few weepers of any kind this year so do not order 
after Jan. lst and please give second choice, also inspect before accepting 
package from express company. 
Cl. AMERICAN BEAUTY—This is a rose red—pink in the hot east, almost 
thornless and very hardy and healthy. 
GOLDEN GLOW— (pat. 263)—Is a fast weeper and has a profusion of its 
medium-sized, intensely yellow blooms for a very long period. Not too 
hardy—protect at below zero.
