Green Rose. (1856.) Whenever we book an order for this rose, (and per- 
haps more are ordered than any other) we are fearful lest our good customer may be 
expecting something in form and substance like Crimson Glory, except in sea-foam 
green or Chinese Jade. Certainly this rose is an interesting novelty—‘the April fool 
rose,” says Iva Newman, patly; but for beauty, it has only “ugh!” Its flowers 
are no flowers at all but a strange and quite unexplained freak of foliage; the buds 
open to double leaf green “flowers,” edged with bronze. If you seek “something dif- 
ferent,” here it is. 1.50 
Gruss An Coburg. H. Tea. (1927.) An offspring of a famous parent, 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet, from which it gets its rich yellow tones, shaded in 
varying coppers and browns. Large, double, very fragrant. Strong vigorous plant 
with bronze foliage, and steady blooming habit. 1.00 
Gruss An Teplitz. H. Tea. (1897.) Bushy, vigorous to six feet, a valu- 
able rose where healthy foliage and constant color is required, especially successful 
in hedges. The large clusters contain as many as 20 buds, which open to a live 
rose-carmine bloom, with nice fragrance. Shows no signs of disease and stands up 
well in tough environment. We like it. 1.00 
Hadley. H. Tea. (1914.) No amount of criticism will weaken our admir- 
ation for this handsome red rose, which needs only a warm sunny spot, er a shot 
of sulphur dust if the spring rains are too persistent. Its rich, deep crimson tone, 
fine form, and wonderful fragrance, plus its excellent blooming habit, can give 
cards and spades to most of the newer red roses. ““When better red roses than Hadley 
are grown, we will grow them.” 
Available in both bush and climbing form—please specify. 1.00 
Harison’s Yellow. H. Foetida. (1830.) The old-fashioned yellow brier 
rose of our grandparents, brought to California in the Gold Rush days of ’49. Grows 
to six feet; fern-like rich green foliage; flowers—small, semi-double, bright yellow, 
in profuse Spring bloom only. Needs no coddling. 1.50 
Hermosa. China. (1840.) Once again we call on Mrs. Keays to describe a 
favorite and delicately beautiful old rose. “Hermosa 1840, sometimes Armosa, for 
long years everybody’s darling and still the darling of many because of deep associa- 
tions; a Rose of so definite and pure a pink, or delicate rose-color, that ‘Hermosa- 
Pink’ has become a standard by which to translate a certain shade. Hermosa is very 
double, cupped, in a refined and perfect form, of small size, fragrant, lasting well, 
showing a very close relationship to the China rose, and sometimes classed as a China. 
Hermosa is a steady, consistent, generous bloomer, on shoots bearing branching 
clusters, always gay, fresh and cheerful.” 1.50 
Hugonis. Golden Rose of China. ‘Most important shrub rose of recent 
times” says Dr. McFarland in his “Roses of the World.” In our garden, its fern-like 
foliage of varying shades, and its mass of single, clear yellow flowers along the tall 
canes, is a special Spring delight. To Roy E. Shepherd of Medina, Ohio, writing in 
the American Rose Society annual, we are indebted for the following, “R. 
Hugonis grows vigorously under conditions that would be fatal to others. Although 
catalogued as reaching a height of six feet, I have succeeded in growing it to over 
12 feet by planting it in very poor soil. The 24%” yellow blossoms are produced 
along the entire length of the long arching canes.” 1.50
