Che French Rose 
Rosa gallica 
A century ago the only hardy garden Roses 
were a few groups of once-blooming types and 
probably the most popular of them were the 
Gallicas, or so-called French Roses. 
The flowers are beautiful in a distinctly dif- 
ferent way and most of them are fragrant; also 
the plants are healthy and hardy. 
BELLE ISIS. (Parmentier.) Small, double 
flowers of pale flesh-pink. A dainty Rose 
from long ago. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
CARDINAL DE RICHELIEU. (Laffay, 1840.) 
Very dark, double flowers of medium size and 
extremely handsome and rich in coloring. In 
some lights the deeper violet tones are almost 
blue, and in others they are purple verging to 
velvety black. $2.00.each; 3 for $5.00. 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep ~ 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
‘DESIREE PARMENTIER. A large, loose 
flower which is quite flat. Color is between 
light red and deep pink. Its spectacular color 
combination always draws the attention of 
lovers of Old-fashioned Roses. $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.00. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
DUMORTIER. Very double; light red with 
silvery reflexes. Most attractive and distinct. 
This historical French Rose is always prized 
for its fresh, billiant coloring. $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.00. 
GEORGES VIBERT. (Robert, 1853.) One of 
the most striking variegated Roses—bright 
purplish red broken by white streaks and 
stripes. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
GROS PROVINS PANACHE. Some of the 
flowers are violet streaked with white, others 
are white streaked with violet. One rare and 
very desirable Rose. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 





















Se eee 
JEANNE DE MONTFORT. $2.00 each 

HYPATHIA. Large, open-centered flowers of 
bright rose-pink spotted white and with a 
whitish center. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
JEANNETTE. (Descemet.) Double flowers of 
bright light red, fading gradually to light 
rose-pink. An attractive variety. While the 
French term this a “light red,’’ it Is really’ a 
gorgeous combination of vermilion and old- 
rose-pink, very similar to the popular Hybrid 
Ge Margaret McGredy. $2.00 each; 3 for 
LA RUBANEE. (Vibert, 1845.) This is one 
of the most popular of the old varieties. We 
find it identical to those we receive from time 
to time under the name of Village Maid, Pan- 
achée Double and Perle des Panacheés. Rose 
and purple veinings on a white background. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
MARIE TUDOR. Described in old catalogue 
as cherry-red or cerise, but the variety we have 
under this name is salmon-pink, marbled with 
rose, and is really one of the most distinct 
varieties in the Gallica class. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00 
MME. D’HEBRAY. (Pradel, 1857.) The 
double white flowers are prettily streaked with 
pink and lilac. A very beautiful variety likely 
to turn pure white. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
CEILLET PARFAIT. (Foulard, 1841.) Medium- 
sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pink, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00. 
PEPITA. (Moreau fils.) Lilac-pink or violet-red 
striped white. Varies. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
PRESIDENT DE SEZE. (Mme. Hébert.) 
Lilac-red, shaded violet-orchid—most unusual 
color found in no other Rose. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00. 
PRESIDENT DUTAILLY. (Dubreuil, 1888.) 
Purple-crimson flowers of large size heavily 
shaded with magenta; deep cupped form and 
very fragrant. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
ROSA GALLICA. Ancestor of all the French 
Roses and, in fact, there is Gallica blood in 
most every modern hybrid Rose. Large, 
single, dark pink flowers on erect bushes 2144 
to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decoration, 
arrange them in a low bowl, and you have a 
“Teplica” of the finest paintings by the old 
masters. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
ROSA GALLICA CONDITORUM.  (West- 
ern Asia.) Rather Jarge, tawny pink flowers 
of intense fragrance. Hardy and very free 
flowering. The petals of this Rose are used 
for condiments in the Orient. Fruits are 
slender, miniature, red pears. $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.00. 
ROSA MUNDI, (Vibert, 1875.) Rather large, 
semi-double flowers of white or pale pink, 
broadly striped red and dark rose. Some petals 
may be all white, others all red, some half 
white and half red, some evenly striped. Alto- 
gether they form one of the loveliest color com- 
binations, making this one of our most striking 
Roses. This is the Rose that is usually sold as 
York and Lancaster. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
TRICOLORE DE FLANDRE. (Van Houtte, 
1846.) The double, well-shaped flowers are 
lilac-white, striped with light red, purple, 
and crimson; fragrant. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
The Damask Rose 
Rosa Pamascena 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and make 
robust growth, clothed with large, rough, light 
green leaves. Their flowers are very freely pro- 
duced and are generally borne m trusses of three 
or more. The fame of their powerful fragrance is 
second only to that of the Cabbage and the 
Moss Roses. 
DAMAS OFFICINALIS. Large; very double; 
pink. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
KAZANLIK (Rosa damascena trigintipetala). 
Southeastern Europe. A semi-double form 
of the Damask Rose grown in the Balkans for 
the production of attar of roses. 3 to 4 feet. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
KING GEORGE IV. (Rivers, 1830.) Loosely 
double, cupped flowers of dark vivid crimson. 
Grows like a Hybrid Perpetual and blooms in 
June. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
MAIDEN’S BLUSH. (Kew, 1797.) Unques- 
tionably one of the loveliest of all the old 
Roses. There is a freshness about its rosy 
white color, shaded to a fine salmon-pink at 
the base, that is not equaled m any other va- 
riety. The petals of the semi-double flowers 
are most artistically arranged. Another at- 
tribute is its pronounced fragrance and sweet 
perfume. Maiden’s Blush is probably a hy- 
brid of Rosa alba (York Rose) and therefore 
rather difficult to classify. We are probably 
correct in calling it one of the old Damasks. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. See page 23. 
MARIE LOUISE. Medium-sized double flowers 
of rich deep pink. They are intensely fragrant. 
Bushy, shrubby growth. One of the most 
desirable of the Damask family. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00.
