OSE 
GRUSS AN AACHEN 
This is one of the most popular of Roses for bedding or 
for planting in amongst perennial plants or low shrubs in 
front of the border. Unlike most Roses, it flowers freely in 
light shade. Several good sized blooms form a fine cluster 
of pink flowers enhanced by a shading of pure salmon. The 
plant is compact and spreading in habit and flowers profusely 
over an exceptionally long period of time. Because of its 
great usefulness, hardiness and beauty, it has become the 
most popular of Bedding Roses.

Dainty Bess 
An exceedingly charming and dainty colored Single Rose of perfect form. The broad petals are 
delicate shell-pink which form a beautiful contrast to the conspicuous bunch of crimson stamens. 
It is always greatly admired for its charm and loveliness, and the blooms last exceptionally long. 
White Wings (Patent Applied For) 
The flowers of White Wings are perfectly formed. The silvery white petals show to good ad- 
vantage above the laurel-green foliage. The individual five-petaled Roses are borne in pyramidal 
sprays. Each separate flower is artistically placed in the spray, the flowers standing out in bold 
relief, bright and clear. In the center of the disk formed by the perfect circle of petals is 
embedded a lovely cluster of amethyst stamens tipped with anthers of gold. After White Wings 
has found its way across the nation, which it will surely do, we feel certain it will be acclaimed 
as the finest single white Rose, equalling in every respect the beauty of its counterpart in 
pink, the well known Dainty Bess.

conjunction with the other sorts, and especially so in localities where the hardiness of the Hybrid 
Tea varieies has not been established.
