SHRUB ROSES OTHER THAN RUGOSAS 
This very interesting page of Rose varieties—some 
new, some old—have long been specialties with Bob- 
bink & Atkins. Charming landscape effects are achieved 
with these Roses when they are planted in shrubbery 
borders or in small groups where Roses are desired 
instead of the more common flowering shrubs. Like the 
true Rugosas, they do not require special soil prepara- 
tion, spraying, or coddling of any kind. They are prac- 
tically as hardy and disease-resistant as the Rugosas but 
offer a wider color-range and more variation in height. 
AUTUMN BOUQUET. New. An ever-bloom- 
ing pink shrub Rose introduced by Bobbink & 
Atkins for the first time in Spring 1948 for M. 
R. Jacobus, hybridizer. It is seldom that a 
good husky shrub Rose, attaining a height of 
about 4 feet, produces successive crops of 
glorious blooms from June right on through 
October. The color of both bud and open 
bloom is a pronounced carmine-pink and borne 
singly on long stems as well as in clusters at 
certain times. Perhaps the color is not so un- 
usual but a shrub Rose of this type has many 
uses in a border of other flowering shrubs where 
you want a good Rose against a background of 
deciduous foliage. One of the chief attributes 
of Autumn Bouquet is its very pleasing and 
pronounced fragrance at all times. All the ex- 
perts who saw the rows of husky 3 to 4-foot 
plants in our nursery the past summers decided 
It was a novelty variety which holds great 
promise for the future. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
BELINDA. (Bentall, 1936.) Large trusses of 
carmine-pink blooms. The individual truss is 
formed exactly like the perennial phlox and ts 
the only Rose we know showing this novel 
characteristic. Upright, with beautiful foliage. 
Suitable for a hedge, bedding, or short pillar; 
3 to 4 feet. From a distance, these fine trusses 
give the same general effect and color of the 
well-known Crape Myrtle grown in the South, 
Then again, some have compared it to a giant 
polyantha bush rose with enormous clusters. 
Remontant. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER. (Muller, 
1899.) Very large flowers of light silvery pink. 
A pillar Rose. 8to9 ft. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
DR. ECKENER. (Berger, 1930.) Bicolor. 
Large, fragrant, semi-double flowers of coppery 
rose and golden yellow; very fragrant. Really a 
Hybrid Tea flower on a shrubby plant. Very 
hardy and extra good in every other respect. 
Remontant. 5 to 6 ft. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
DR. E. M. MILLS. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1926.) 
Flowers small, semi-double, primrose, shaded 
pink, profusely produced along the branches. 
Shrubby, 3to4 feet high. Small, healthy foliage. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $4.00.

Many are everblooming or remontant, as noted, 
producing plenty of good blooms intermittently after 
the June crop. 
Space them about 3 to 4 feet apart; prune or cut 
out the old and worn-out canes after the third or fourth 
year but very little pruning is required the first two 
years. If occasional canes or stout branches get too 
tall, prune them to the desired height and width any 
time it suits you. 

HON. LADY LINDSAY. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00 
FRAGRANT BEAUTY. New. An everbloom- 
ing carmine-red Shrub Rose introduced by 
Bobbink & Atkins, 1950. This very hardy 
Rose quickly attains a height of about 4 to 5 
feet and produces dozens of glorious blooms for 
cutting and landscape effect from June right 
on through October. The full, large-petaled 
blooms with warm red tones rival the fimest 
Hybrid Teas. * Very strong and_ satisfying 
fragrance adds greatly to the value of this 
steady-blooming, trouble-free garden Rose. 
Fragrant Beauty is a close relative to our new 
pink Autumn Bouquet which has already won 
the highest praises everywhere. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
GOLDEN KING. (Beckwith, 1935.) The 
large, semi-double, pale yellow flowers are 
richly fragrant with old-Rose perfume. This 
is one of the finest of all the Hybrid Rugosas. 
The plant is slender, grows 6 to 8 feet tall. 
Remontant. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
HON. LADY LINDSAY. (Nicls J. Hansen, 
1938.) An almost everblooming shrub Rose 
growing about 3 feet high and wide. The 
stylish, tapering buds are buff-yellow with 
golden pink predominating as they age and 
open. Excellent for dooryard planting or in 
front of taller shrubs in a border. Our best low 
shrubby Rose. 30 to 40 petals. Remontant. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
HUGONIS (Rosa Hugonis). (China.) Light 
yellow flowers, 2 inches across. Grows 6 to 8 
feet tall. One of the most charming of the very 
early-flowering shrubs. Its long, graceful 
branches. 6 to 8 feet high, are starred with 
lemon-yellow flowers. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
NEVADA. (P. Dot, 1939.) White. Large, single 
flowers, pink or apricot in bud, opening to 
white. Mr. Bobbink considers this one of the 
most interesting and fascinating of all shrub 
Roses. Remontant. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00.

AUTUMN BOUQUET. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 
ORATAM. (M. R. Jacobus, 1939.) Pat. 257. 
A comparatively new Hybrid Damask. Or- 
ange-copper. Grows 5 to 6 feet high and pro- 
duces dozens of blooms with delicious Damask 
fragrance. Use it as a specimen shrub or as a 
solid border or hedge planting to produce a 
most attractive color effect in June. Foliage is 
exceptionally beautiful and handsome. $1.50 
each; 3 for $4.00. 
PATRICIA MACOUN. It has often been 
stated by Mr. Bobbink that here we have a 
Rose of rare beauty that some day may rival 
in popularity many of the better-known flower- 
ing shrubs. The pure white blooms are about 
2 inches across and open gracefully to show 
the golden yellow stamens which illuminate 
the clusters of as many as thirty buds. It 
grows to about 6 feet and while not exactly 
self-supporting as, for instance, Deutzia or 
Philadelphus, is easily trained as a pillar or 
against a light trellis. Here in northern New 
Jersey it is very hardy and robust and even in 
cold parts of Canada it never freezes back 
hard enough to prevent its ability to produce 
a 6-foot shrub clothed in its chaste white and 
gold every May and early June. The glossy 
foliage gives the finesse and refinement to this 
gem. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
SANGUINAIRE. (F. Gillot, 1933.) Red. 
Flower large, brilliant ox-blood-red_ with 
orange base. 15 petals. 6 ft. Bush or pillar. 
Remontant. 25% Rugosa. $1.50 each; 3 for 
$4.00. 
THUSNELDA. (Muller, 1889.) Pink. Very 
large, soft pmk flowers come early in the 
season. Blooms are very double and fragrant 
and freely produced on this healthy Shrub 
Rose. Remontant. 6 to 7 feet. 25% Rugosa. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
VANGUARD. (Stevens, 1932.) Flowers large, 
double, orange-salmon, on strong stem. Vigor- 
ous and hardy. This fine Rose can be grown 
as a large shrub or trained as a moderate 
climber. Attractive foliage, with a heavy 
crop of lovely flowers when established for 
two or more years. 6 to 8 ft. $1.50 each; 
3 for $4.00.
