Old-fashioned Roses, continued 
China, Bengal, Tea, Bourbon and Noisette Roses 
Most of these are the original “Everblooming” or Monthly Roses. The old-fashioned Chinas and 
Teas are Jow and bushy in growth, similar to the more modern Hybrid Teas. Thought at one time to 
be tender for northern states, they have proved to be as hardy as any of our Roses. The foliage of 
these five classes is more resistant to disease because solid, substantial species strains were used for 
breeding them many years ago; that is why they have lasted down through the years.

Scotch Roses 
Rosa spinosissima Hybrids and others

that combine well with other shrubs and hand- 
some as specimen plants.

ROSA PTERAGONIS. (Max Krause, 1937.) 
Here we have a cross between R. ometensis 
pteracantha and R. Hugonis. The plant is liter- 
ally covered with yellowish white flowers in 
early May. Perhaps an equally distinctive 
characteristic is the showy pinkish red thorns 
which this hybrid has inherited from_ the 
Pteracantha species. Who knows, perhaps 
some day this may rival the common R. Hu- 
gonis In popularity; one of the weaknesses of 
Hugonis has been its inability to retain its 
fine small foliage. The foliage on Pteragonis 
is very similar to Hugonis but more healthy 
and persistent during the hot summers. $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.00. 
R. SPINOSISSIMA. White. The original
