PLANT ROSES BY THE DOZENS— A MASS PLANTING IS VERY EFFECTIVE 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES (June-July Roses) 
These Roses are much more hardy, more sturdy, and more vigorous growing 
plants than the Hybrid Teas. Their flowers are larger, fuller, and generally more 
fragrant than those of the everblooming varieties. They are not, as their name 
might imply, perpetual bloomers, but produce one great burst of bloom in June 
and July—-a lavish display of flowers which is not equaled by any of the ever’ 
blooming sorts. Like the Hybrid Teas, they prefer a good rich clay loam soil.

Hugonis 
AUSTRIAN 
BRIER ROSES 
and Related Types 
A yellow-flowered early blooming 
species that add variety and charm to 
the landscape. Mostly used as bushes 
in, or as part of, a shrub planting; 
sometimes in the foundation planting, 
or again, in the shrub border. They 
are all very hardy and require little, 
if any, pruning. Grow 4 to 6 feet 
high. 
PERSIAN YELLOW. The lovely 
old-fashioned yellow Rose of 
our grandmother’s garden. It 
grows into an open bush with 
long canes and golden yellow, 
semidouble flowers blooming 
in early June. 
HARRISON’S YELLOW. Like 
the Persian Yellow Rose, but a 
more vigorous grower; the flow- 
ers are more double. 
HUGONIS (Golden Rose _ of 
China). Hugonis takes first 
place among the single flowered 
early sorts. Just before Bridal 
Wreath season it is completely 
covered with large, clear yellow 
flowers profusely borne along 
the slender arching branches, 
making a striking display. It 
is a vigorous grower, depend- 
able, and a first-class yellow 
flowering shrub. Excellent for 
planting in groups in the shrub 
border, in the foundation plant- 
ing, or as a single specimen.

PRAIRIE or Shrub Roses 
These Roses of native origin are hardy and need 
no winter protection. The varieties listed below 
have attractive single pink flowers ranging from 
114 to 2 inches in size. These are followed by red 
fruits or haws in the fall, giving a colorful winter 
effect. Some varieties have foliage with special 
characteristics of fragrance, summer color and fall 
coloring. They grow from 3 to 5 feet high. Their 
period of bloom lasts for 3 to 4 weeks in June 
and July after most other shrubs are through, mak- 
ing them very useful in extending and adding 
additional variety and color to the landscape plant- 
ing. They are also used for naturalizing on hill- 
sides, as bank covers, for parks, cemeteries, and 
other public grounds. They grow easily and require 
practically no pruning and attention in after years. 
BLANDA (Meadow Rose). Strong growing Rose, 3 to 95 
feet high, with thornless branches of reddish purple color.

early summer shrubs are out of bloom.
