of Fine ROSES 
More than 125 Tried and Proved Excellent Varieties 
HYBRID TEA 
ROSES 
This is the largest and most important class of 
Roses, for the Hybrid Teas are the Monthly or 
Everblooming type. They furnish fine, fragrant 
blooms for garden and indoor decoration. 
The bushes usually grow 114 to 3 feet high and 
should be planted about 15 inches apart in beds. 
If planted relatively close together they will shade 
the ground, keeping it cooler and in better con- 
dition for the Roses during the Summer.

Polyantha and Floribunda Roses 
The Polyantha and Floribunda Roses bloom almost continuously throughout the season. They have 
clusters of flowers like the Climbing Ramblers but are low-growing, mostly about 20 inches in height. They 
are very foolproof, for they require little or no Winter protection and are quite free from disease. Their 
popularity is increasing rapidly on account of their mass of bloom and many uses. A clump of three or more 
should be used to get the best effect and a solid bed of one variety furnishes continuous color all season. 
Plant 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Cameo. The small blooms are a distinctively at- 
tractive color—a soft and pleasing salmon-pink 
shade that will combine well with most other 
colors. Reliable, compact plant about 20 inches 
high. $1.25. 
Cecile Brunner (Sweetheart). This famous little 
Rose is known for its charming miniature, perfect 

Donald Prior. Plant Pat. 377. The brightest red 
of the Floribundas. The blooms, semi-double 
and bright scarlet, are produced on a 20-inch 
plant. The individual blossoms are about the 
same size but much brighter than Kirsten Poulsen, 
and the bush lower. $1.25. 
Else Poulsen. A good tall grower that is a fine 
match for Kirsten Poulsen. The single blossoms 
are about 2 inches in diameter, two-tone, pink 
and silvery pink, and come in flat racemes. $1.25, 
Floradora. A new variety producing a mass of at- 
tractive orangy red flowers in large clusters. The 
striking color of the double blooms is indeed capti- 
vating. 20 to 24 inches. $1.50. 
Gloria Mundi. This is the most striking color of 
all the Polyanthas—a bright scarlet-orange. The 
plant is of compact growth about 20 inches high. 
$1.25. 
Ideal. A good reliable grower attaining 2 feet, with 
immense clusters of deep red blooms. Each little 
flower has a white center, making it still more 
striking. $1.25. 
Improved Lafayette. One of the older varieties 
that is still tops. Its large, double, crimson-red 
blooms are interspersed with the abundant, deep 
green foliage. 2 to 21% feet high. Plant them 
about 24 inches apart. $1.25. 
Kirsten Poulsen. Single, broad, 2-inch, light red 
blooms. The bush is one of the tallest Polyanthas 
(about 3 feet). One of the most continuous and 
finest bloomers. $1.25. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch. A large grower with big double, 
shell-pink blooms, freely produced in great clus- 
ters. Many times during the Summer a row of 
these looks from a distance like a bank of snow. 
The buds are often used by florists for corsage 
purposes. Grows 2) to 3 feet high. $1 
Orange Triumph. Orange-scarlet flowers ar- 
ranged in enormous clusters. The small individual 
blooms are well formed and fully double. Shiny 
foliage; growth 20 inches high. $1.25. 
Permanent Wave. Plant Pal. 107. The name fits 
the Rose, for the petals are fluted or waved at all 
stages. The 2-inch, deep rosy pink blooms are in 
great clusters. Plant attains about 3 feet in height 
and the new growth has bronzy foliage. $1.25.

TREE ROSES 
When Tree Roses are planted at appropriate 
spots in your garden they give it an accent and at- 
mosphere of distinction. Their strong, 314-foot 
stems and good big tops, which seem to bloom more 
and better than the bush Roses, make a great sight 
throughout the season. 
For Winter protection their roots should be 
loosened on one side so they can be laid down and 
the roots, stem, and top completely covered over 
with soil. 
In planting, wrap the stem and branches with 
burlap or moss and keep it moist. After the plant is 
growing, remove the protection gradually.

CLIMBING ROSES 
The Climbing Roses offered here are the best of 
their class. Very few of the old Ramblers are now 
planted; the demand is almost entirely for the newer 
Climbers which have disease-resistant foliage, large 
blooms, and long stems suitable for cutting. They 
are not as rampant growers as the old-fashioned 
Ramblers but a carefully trained plant is a real 
spectacle when in full bloom. Do not prune more 
than enough to keep the plant within bounds; cut 
put the dead and oldest stems down to the ground. 
Prune soon after the big June bloom. 
American Pillar. A very vigorous Climber with 
great clusters of medium-sized pink flowers having 
white centers and tufts of yellow stamens. A late

buds are longer and more pointed. It is a mid- 
season bloomer. $1.50.

first a good red color but in a few days turn to a 
deep pink. They are large and fragrant. Warly. 
Doubloons. Plant Pat. 152. A favorite Climber. 
One of the hardy Horvath Hybrids. A vigorous, 
upright, tall grower with big semi-double, bronze- 
yellow blossoms. $1.50. 
Dr. Huey. Single flowers so deep and velvety that 
they seem almost black. A late Spring bloomer 
over a long period. $1.25. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler. Plant Pal. 114. The 
growth is of medium size and may easily be kept 
within bounds. The large flowers are about 4 
inches in diameter, deep golden or apricot-yellow.

great clusters. An unusual climber that is be- 
coming popular. $1.50. 
Golden Climber. Plant Pat. 28. The large golden 
yellow blooms maintain their color until they fall,

geous scarlet are semi-double and open to about 
4 inches. Blossoms over a long period in the

Thor. Plant Pat. 387. The immense, double, deep 
red blooms on this newer variety make it very 
interesting. Not generally a free bloomer but in

SHRUB ROSES

shrub borders, or as specimens on account of their 
profusion of bloom, their hardiness, healthiness and 
ability to thrive under adverse conditions.

the Spring; deliciously fragrant. An upright 
grower 5 to 6 feet tall; extremely hardy. $1.25. 

shrub Roses. Double deep yellow flowers. The 
fact that this Rose was originated in 1830 and is 
still popular proves its unusual value. 6 ft. $1.25. 
The 
bright yellow flowers, about 2 inches across, ap- 
pear the earliest of any Rose in the Spring. It 
grows about 6 feet high, and its branches covered 
with blooms arch gracefully. One of the finest of 
all shrubs for specimen planting. $1.25. 
Mabelle Stearns. Sce list of Hybrid Teas. $1.50. 
Vanguard. A great Rose. Grows about 8 feet tall, 
so may be used as either a shrub or pillar Rose. 
Has very large, shiny foliage and beautiful, large 
blooms of salmon and apricot shadings. $1.25. 
York and Lancaster. An ancient variety that is 
quite different. It is said to have originated soon 
after the end of the Wars of the Roses. In the 
Spring it produces large, semi-double, white 
blossoms which are streaked and striped with 
red. Grows 2 to 219 feet high. $1.25. 


HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 
Hybrid Perpetuals or ‘June bloomers” generally 
burst forth into a marvelous display of bloom in 
June. Many will bloom again later in the season. 
Their flowers on the whole are more richly fragrant 
than any other class and are of very large size. The 
plants are too large to fit in a Rose-bed of Hybrid 
Teas but are more foolproof and long-lived. Plant 
them in the background and in shrub borders. Many 
of the strongest growers can be trained as pillars, 
and as such are very effective. 
Frau Karl Druschki. A very strong, tall grower 
which blooms sparsely during the Summer and 
Fall after bearing bountifully in the Spring. 
Pure white when open, with prominent yellow 
stamens but no fragrance. Very large, attractive 
flowers. $1.25. 
General Jacqueminot (General Jack for short). 
One of the greatest favorites of the old Roses. It 
has large, very double and very fragrant, deep 
red blooms mostly in June. $1.25. 
Georg Arends. The charming perfect rose-pink 
blooms make it greatly esteemed. Flowers are 
high centered and especially well formed. $1.25. 
Mrs. John Laing. You can’t forget the delicious 
fragrance of these large, full, double, soft pink, 
cupped blooms. The two-tone pink flowers come 
occasionally in the Summer as well as abundantly 
in June. $1.25. 
Paul Neyron. The largest pink Rose, with almost 
thornless stems. Blooms abundantly in June and 
sparingly in late Summer. $1.25. 
Ulrich Brunner. The large, globular cherry-red 
blooms, always refreshing and very lasting. $1.25 




IMPORTANT CULTURAL HINTS 
Please cooperate by reading and following the simple planting directions accompanying each order, 
even if you have planted Roses before. 
Selection of Location 
In selecting the location for your Rose-bed, it is not im- 
portant whether your plants are to get morning or afternoon 
sunlight, but that they do get at least a half day of sun. Part 
shade is even preferable to a full day of sunlight in an estab- 
lished bed. 
Tree Roots 
Select a location where tree roots cannot interfere with 
your Rose roots. It is surprising how quickly tree roots will 
find a Rose-bed and fill it, consuming food and moisture 
intended for the plants. If tree roots are present, dig a 
trench around the bed as deep as the tree roots extend, 
thereby cutting off all that might attempt to enter the bed. 
This trench may be filled in again immediately, and should 
be dug around the Rose-bed every year if the tree roots 
prove bothersome. 
Plant Early 
The best time in the Spring to plant Wyant Roses is just 
as soon as the soil is workable. The larger part of the gar- 
dening public wait until the warm, sunshiny days of Spring 
to start their planting. This is too late to get best results. 
In this latitude late March is an ideal time, and planting 
as late as May seldom gives the results you anticipate. Fall 
planting is usually even safer than Spring planting but if 
you can plant in early Spring there is no use losing a whole 
season of enjoyment by waiting until Fall, for ear'y Spring 
planted Hybrid Teas start to bloom in June of the same year. 
Soils 
It is best to keep away from either extremely heavy or 
extremely light soil; loam soils will have more food in them, 
Heavy soils can be improved and made lighter by the ad- 
dition of Rene or humus and agricultural slag. Peat or 
humus will also improve light soils and enable them to re- 
tain more moisture. The best soil you can get is the best 
soil for Roses. 
The pH of Soils 
The acidity and alkalinity of soils is designated by pH. 
It has been found that Roses are very tolerant. They will 
grow in a soil from 4.5 pH up to 8 pH, but the best growing 
conditions seem to be found in a soil that is neutral or 
slightly acid—that is, around 6 to 7 pH. Lime in almost 
any form can be used to make soils more alkaline, and 
sulphur to make them more acid. 
Planting 
If you want successful Roses, plant the bushes close to- 
gether, so that the foliage will keep the ground shaded and 
cool—12 to 15 inches is the rule for the Hybrid Teas, the 
taller varieties being placed for the best effect. 
Instead of waiting until the bushes arrive, it is better 
to spade the soil 15 to 18 inches deep several weeks in ad- 
vance, adding plenty of peat or humus. And if drainage 
is needed, the bed should be tiled and surplus water 
carried away. Guard against the roots drying out from ex- 
posure to sun, wind or freezing during planting. Do not use 
chemical fertilizer when planting Wyant Roses; only bone- 
meal and rotted manure or peat may be used at planting 
time. 
Watering 
If the soil around your Roses is kept cultivated, it will 
seldom be in need of watering. However, during an ex- 
tended drought, soak the ground thoroughly for hours and 
then do not repeat for a week. Stop all watering and cul- 
tivating about the first of September. 
An application of peat put on in May and left the rest of 
the season helps to retain moisture and keeps the soil cooler 
and in better condition for Rose growing. It may also help 
in disease control. es 
Pruning 
When a Rose is set out in the Spring, shorten the strong 
| branches to 6 to 8 inches, and the weaker even more, Heap 
the soil as high as the branches are pruned, to protect 
against drying out, until the roots become established. Re- 
move this bank of soil when the shoots start, so that the 
bud or crown is about level with the soil surface. 
| 

The only Fall pruning recommended is shortening tall 
bushes down to about 2 feet, so that they will not wind- 
whip. The real pruning for established bushes is given in 
the Spring when the bank of soil is removed. At this time 
remove dead wood from the Hybrid Teas and cut the strong 
branches down to the highest big live bud. Shorten or re- 
move weak growth. After the big June bloom, if there is 
a lot of small twiggy growth on the top of the plant, it is 
well to cut it off, down to some good strong growth and 
just above some well-developed eye. 
The weak branches of Polyanthas should be cut down 
and the strong ones shortened one-half. Hybrid Perpetuals 
can be shortened about one-third and from Climbers the 
dead wood should be removed. In July, after the first big 
burst of bloom is over, you may prune Climbers, but prun- 
ing 1s not recommended unless the plant is too large for 
the trellis. 
Feeding 
In the Spring, when the bank of soil is removed, 
apply Wyant Rose Food, or else a complete chemical 
fertilizer, to the established plants but not to newly set 
Roses. Wyant Rose Food is recommended, because it is of 
organic composition rather than chemical, and even after 
long usage does not make the soil toxic, nor burn, as a chem- 
leal fertilizer will. Proper fertilizing will produce much 
bloom, so during June or early July make another applica- 
tion to new as well as to established Roses, and then again 
in the latter part of August, but not after September 1. 
Each time, apply about a handful to medium strong bushes, 
less to weaker, and more to stronger plants. 
Suckers 
Suckers are the wild shoots that occasionally spring up 
from below the bud. They can be distinguished from 
flowering shoots by the small, heavily veined leaves and 
often by the thorns on the stems, being entirely different 
from those on the blooming stems. Do not call every stem 
with seven leaflets wild, as many of the flowering stems also 
have seven leaflets. A sucker only comes from below the 
bud. As soon as a sucker is discovered, cut it off clean from 
the main plant below the ground, where it ori inates, 
without leaving a stub which would send up more shoots. 
Disease and Insect Control 
A little attention and care will remedy the few diseases 
and insects that attack Rose plants. Dusting is preferable 
to spraying, for it is easier and quicker. 
Spray or dust aphids, the small green lice that appear 
about the tips of the shoots, with insecticides containing 
nicotine or rotenone. Spray or dust worms and insects that 
eat leaves, with rotenone or with a poison. Both above pests 
can be controlled with Wyant Rose Dust. 
Knock Rose chafers, the large grayish bugs with long 
legs and snouts, into a pan of water covered with coal-oil. 
Place a drop of shellac or thick white lead on all cut ends 
in the Spring, when pruning is done, to keep out the car- 
penter bee, which makes a hole in the exposed pith. 
Prevent black-spot and mildew by dusting with any of 
Wyant's Dusts, beginning as soon as the leaves come out 
and continuing about every week, and more often in rainy 
weather. Apply a light, even coat with a gun on a calm 
evening before the dew, if possible, thereby protecting the 
foliage so that it will be retained until frost. 
Winter Protection 
The time-honored method of Winter protection is putting 
a bank of soil around the branches of Hybrid Teas in the 
late Fall before severe freezing occurs. However, Summer 
protection against diseases is more important in keeping a 
Rose alive. If a plant goes into Winter in a good hardened 
condition. having retained its foliage until freezing, it will 
live through the Winter in fine shape even without abundant 
covering. Therefore, keep your Roses healthy in the Sum- 
mer and forget your Winter protection.

WYANT DUST GUN 
An efficient, economical Dust Gun is one of the 
essential tools for Rose-growing. One which we 
highly recommend holds about 1 quart of dust, has 
a 24-inch extension with a curved nozzle, and is so 
well constructed that it should last you as long as 
you raise Roses. It shoots the dust in a cloud onto 
the undersides of the leaves and spreads evenly and 
economically on all leaf surfaces. It operates so 
easily that children love to work it. Any of our dusts 
may be left in the Gun without harm. 1-quart Gun, 
$1.75 each, postpaid. 
For gardens of 75 or more Roses I recommend our 
2-quart Gun, 48 inches long overall, which even 
though much larger, is very easy to operate. $3.50 
each, postpaid. 
If you have become disgusted with other Dust 
Guns, try one of the above. You will like it. 
WYANT ROSE DUST 
All-in-one Dust 
Highly Efficient and Economical 
This new dust which controls all the important 
pests without further aids is a wonderful time-saver 
for all gardeners, It controls pests without harming 
the foliage. The sulphur in ordinary dusts burns 
Rose foliage badly in hot weather, while the sulphur 
in Wyant Rose Dust is a Bentonite sulphur, espe- 
cially compounded so as to make it much less likely 
to burn under trying conditions. It is easily and 
quickly used as a dry dust in a dust gun. 
Wyant Rose Dust contains 3% Rotenone and 
61% Sulphur. This makes a dust that can be relied 
upon to produce satisfaction for most pests on Roses 
and other flowers and vegetables if it is used effi- 
ciently and at the proper time. It is best dusted onto 
the plants in the evening when the air is calm, before 
the dew comes and at frequent intervals, generally 
about once a week. 
The rotenone in Wyant Rose Dust is non-poison- 
ous to animals or human beings, but will control 
both sucking insects (aphids) and chewing insects 
(beetles and worms) effectively. The Bentonite 
sulphur prevents black-spot, mildew and other 
diseases and is so fine and fluffy that it goes a long 
way, making it very economical to use. This dust 
sticks to foliage through wind and rain, thus giving 
protection at the times it is most needed.

WYANT ROSE DUST WITH FERMATE 
_ Although Wyant Rose Dust is generally con- 
sidered a highly efficient preventive of black-spot, 
the new chemical. compound Wermate, added to 
this dust, may give results in difficult situations 
where the regular dust does not control. This com- 
bination is considered the best and safest preventive 
of black-spot and other Rose diseases that has 
been found. 4 Ibs. $2.00, 10 lbs. $4.70, postpaid. 
WYANT ROSE DUST WITH DDT 
AND FERMATE 
For those who want the dust with the greatest 
killing power for insects as well as the greatest 
possible protection against all plant diseases, this 
combination of materials is unsurpassed as a pesti- 
cide, 4 lbs. $2.30, 10 lbs. $5.35, postpaid. 
WYANT ROSE FOOD 
A HIGH-QUALITY FERTILIZER 
The organic fertilizers composing Wyant Rose 
Food last longer and are less dangerous than the 
commonly used chemical fertilizers. We tried dif- 
ferent fertilizers for several years on our Roses and 
finally decided that this food is better than anything 
else we have ever had. 
An Organic Food 
In contrast to chemical fertilizers, Wyant Rose 
Food is made up almost entirely of organic foods put 
together in such a way that they produce a perfect 
balanced food for Rose growth. The analysis is 
7-8-5 but that is not as important as the fact that 
this food makes stronger, healthier bushes which 
will produce more and better Roses. 
No Filler 
Wyant Rose Food contains no filler. Every par- 
ticle of it can be used by the plant to make beiphter! 
bigger and better Roses. It is prepared primarily 
for Rose bushes but it can be used to advantage on 
other growing plants. Instructions for use with 
each package.
