The Cabbage Rose 
Kosa centifolia 
The Cabbage or Provence Rose has been grown in 
gardens for so many centuries that nobody knows where 
or when it originated. It is probably the most fragrant 
of all Roses and has been grown in certain favorable 
climates in Europe for ages to manufacture rose-water 
and attar of roses. 
CABBAGE (Rosa centifolia). This is the original 
Provence Rose, with double, nodding flowers 
of light pink, paling at the edges soon after 
opening. The name “Cabbage”’ is suggested 
by the incurved globular form—not the size. 
The blooms are no larger than a small Hybrid 
Tea flower. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
KONIGIN VON DANEMARK. (Booth Bros., 
1898.) Flowers medium size, very full, fra- 
grant, flesh-pink with darker center. Vigorous. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
PERSUE DE GOSSART. A large double 
flower of velvety cerise with garnet reflexes. 
Very distinct and shows the true Cabbage 
Rose formation. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 


ROSE DES PEINTRES. (Cabbage Rose) 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 
DWARF FAIRY ROSES 
All of these Roses are 75c. each; 3 for $2.00 
These charming little Roses, sometimes called 
“Miniatures,” seldom grow more than a foot high. 
Though small and dainty, they are comparatively 
hardy, even in cold climates. They should never be 
planted right in among other everblooming Roses, 
although they do make nice edging plants for the 
small Rose-garden. 
OAKINGTON RUBY. Deep crimson buds 
opening to ruby-red—lovely, non- fading 
color withno white center. This is a lovely 
red Fairy Rose. Potted plants. 
POMPON DE PARIS (Pompon Ancien). 
The plants are small; buds pointed; flowers 
a deep pink. Potted plants. 
ROSA ROULETTI. Double  rose- pink 
flowers, less than a half inch across. Potted 
plants. 

VARIEGATA DI BOLOGNA, 
(Cabbage Rose) 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 
( 


VIERGE DE CLERY. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00 

\ 
PROLIFERA OF REDOUTE. Resembles the 
old Cabbage Rose, except that its sepals are 
longer and more fringed. Often bears another 
flower in the center of the blossom. A curiosity. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
RED PROVENCE. (Old.) Clear rose-pink 
flowers, deeper in center. These are of large 
size, cupped in form, and are very fragrant. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
ROSE DES PEINTRES. Rose-color to deep 
rose-pink; large and full, with raised center. 
Vigorous growth. The Rose of the old Dutch 
painters of still life. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
VARIEGATA DI BOLOGNA. (Bonfiglioli, 
1909.) This is the largest of all striped Roses 
and shows the pure white background with 
purplish red vernings on each petal. Plant 
makes a spectacular pillar or large, vigorous 
shrub. The blooms are the true large, double, 
globular, Cabbage Rose type. $2.00 each; 3 
for $5.00. 
VIERGE DE CLERY. (Baron Veillard, 1888.) 
Snow-white blooms of large size; exceedingly 
fragrant. Considered the best white Cabbage 
Rose in existence. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
Scotch Roses 
Rosa spinosissima Hybrids and others 
Small, fern-like foliage and spiny growth distinguish 
this group. They are all extremely hardy, trouble-free, 
making fine compact bushes that combine well with 
other shrubs and handsome as specimen plants. 
PRUNING: Thin out old wood only. 
HARISON’S YELLOW. (Harison, 1830.) The 
yellow shrub Rose of oldtime gardens. Semi- 
double, bright yellow flowers on sturdy plants. 
6 to 8 feet tall. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
ROSA PTERAGONIS. (Max Krause, 1937.) 
Here we have a cross between R. omeiensis 
pteracantha and R. Hugonis. The plant is liter- 
ally covered with yellowish white flowers in 
early May. Perhaps an equally distinctive 
characteristic ts the showy pinkish red thorns 
which this hybrid has mherited 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 
Scotch Rose. Flowers usually white, but 
sometimes pink or yellowish. Very fragrant. 
An excellent hedge subject. It.ts the sweetest 
scented of all our wild Roses. It looks loveliest 
in its native haunts, with its red-tipped buds 
and blush-white flowers. 3 feet. 75 cts. each; 
10 for $6.50; 100 for $55.00. 
R. XANTHINA. Its long, arching canes make 
a bushy, upright shrub, bedecked in early 
spring with golden rosettes. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. 
SONNENLICHT. (Dr. D. Kruger, 1913.) 
Canary-yellow, semi-double, fragrant flowers 
abundantly produced early in the season and 
sometimes in autumn. Vigorous and ex- 
tremely hardy. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 

STANWELL PERPETUAL. (Lee.) Pink. 
This old favorite blooms during the entire 
season. Flesh-pink, double blooms. 6 feet. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
SPRING GOLD. (R. spinosissima Friibling 
Gold). Everybody who saw this golden-yellow 
shrub Rose blooming in the nursery rows this 
past June marveled at its extraordinary beauty. 
It is far and away the best among many new 
European Rose importations that came to us 
since the war. The many strong but graceful 
branches are literally packed full with hun- 
dreds of the most brilliant golden-yellow Roses 
you ever saw. Plant and use SPRING GOLD 
as you would any hardy, deciduous shrubs for 
everlasting beauty. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
Austrian Briers 
Austrian Briers are descendants of Rosa foetida, and 
the ancestors of the modern yellow, orange, and copper 
Hybrid Teas.

of petals bright golden yellow. $2.00 each;
