Agrippina. China. (1832.) A tall growing, very vigorus shrub rose, pro- 
ducing persistently, great clusters of cherry-red double blooms, shaded lighter at 
center, and of distinctive old-time form. Blooming for many years at the door of a 
good neighbor, it never fails to nod a happy greeting. 1.50 
Amelie Gravereaux. H. Rugosa (1903). A lusty hybrid which makes a 
tall, well-shaped bush; blooms in clusters of 3-5, full petalled, cupped; unusual 
shade of carmine-red, lighter at the edges, giving a two-tone effect. Says authority 
Roy Shepherd, Medina Ohio—"In my opinion, one of the top Hybrid Rugosas, with 
a lot of Hybrid Perpetual and Gallica in it.” 1.50 
American Beauty. H. Perpetual. (1886.) No modern rose has equalled 
its rich fragrance; none are likely to take its place in the sentimental memories of 
the older generation. Color is deep rose shaded smoky carmine; large, full-bodied, 
and, with us, in constant bloom. 
Summer 1947. Forgive us if we add a pat on the back from Neville Miller, 
Pennsylvania—"“The flowers from the plant you supplied have a wonderful frag- 
rance—much more intense than those grown locally under this name.” Neville 
Miller reports again 1948—“The bush of American Beauty planted last year, is 
leafing out in the snow!” 1.50 
American Beauty Climbing. (1909). We list separately to emphasize 
the special beauty and excellent plant habits of this lovely old rose in climbing form.
