The 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 different 
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. 
BOULE DE NANTEUIL. Large; very double; 
deep pink, outside petals silvery pink. $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. 
The Damask Rose 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and make robust 
growth, clothed with large, rough, light green leaves. 
Their flowers are very freely produced and are gen- 
erally borne in 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 Rosa damascena 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 in any other va- 
riety. The petals of the semi-double flowers 
are most artistically arranged. Another at- 
tribute is its pronounced fragrance and sweet 
poner. Maiden’s Blush is probably a hy- 
rid 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. 
East Rutherford, N. J. 
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, brilliant 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. 
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 
uae Margaret McGredy. $2.00 each; 3 for 
5.00. 
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 Panachées. 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. 
Rosa Damascena 
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. 
MME. HARDY. (Hardy, 1832.) This is the 
much-sought-for pure white Damask Rose. 
It is cup-shaped, large and full, and_bears 
heavily in spreading clusters. We consider it 
the most beautiful and fragrant of the white 
Old-fashioned Roses. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
PROFESSEUR EMILE PERROT. (Turbat, 
1931.) A delicate soft pink, very fragrant 
Damask Rose brought to France from Persia 
by Professeur Perrot. Grown in great quan- 
tities for the perfume industry. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
ROSA DAMASCENA. The original Rose of 
Damascus. Yields double rose-pink blooms 
with 18 or more petals. When fully open, the 
golden stamens add to its loveliness. Pleasingly 
ant deliciously fragrant. $2.00 each; 3 for 
5.00. 
YORK AND LANCASTER. Semi-double; ir- 
regular, fragrant bloom of pale pink or white 
with a few occasional solid reddish pink petals 
on the same flower. Rather long pale green 
branches of diffuse habit. Frequently con- 
fused with the striped Rosa Mundi, which is 
far more spectacular. We have the true 
York and Lancaster. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00.
