Green Rose. (1856.) | Whenever we book an order for this rose, we are 
fearful lest our good customer may be expecting something in form and substance 
like Crimson Glory, except in sea-foam green or Chinese Jade. Certainly this rose is an 
interesting novelty—‘the April fool rose,” says Iva Newman, patly; but for beauty, 
it has only “ugh!” Its flowers are no flowers at all but a strange and quite unexplained 
freak of foliage; the buds open to double leaf green “flowers,” edged with bronze. If 
you seek “something different,” here it is. 
(P.S. The writer named his kitten “Ugh,” after this rose; she isn’t “green” but 
she’s “different!” ) 1.50 
Gros Provins Panache.  Gallica. Roy Shepherd and Mrs. Lester must 
have exchanged views on this one, as both use the same words—“most interesting 
and attractive of all the Gallicas.” Color violet-purple, streaked white. As for the cata- 
log writer, he remains true to Variegata di Bologna, although admitting the quality 
of the competition. 17) 
Gruss an Teplitz. China (1897.) Gordon M. Beals of Omaha, so excells 
our former anemic description, we hasten to quote his words—"“Gruss an Teplitz can’t 
be planted in a bed with H Teas, for it will grow up and around and over them, 
almost to lilac bush proportions. 1 planted four with other H. Teas and tn three years 
had to tear up the whole bed to get them off by themselves. With 270 roses, including 
the best of the old and new, I sometimes find myself liking these four plants the best 
of them all. When I get within 15 feet of them on a 105 degree day, what a fragrance! 
Hundreds of blooms, sometimes as red as Christopher Stone and always pretty.” Now 
I suppose most of you will shy away from Teplitz, fearing to put him within nodding 
distance of your other roses—wonder if Mr. Beals lost his pruning shears? 1.25 
Hadley. H. Tea. (1914.) No amount of criticism will weaken our 
admiration for this handsome red rose, which needs only a warm sunny spot, or a shot 
of sulphur dust if the spring rains are too persistent. Its rich, deep crimson tone, 
fine form, and wonderful fragrance, plus its excellent blooming habit, can give cards 
and spades to most of the newer red roses. “When better red roses than Hadley are 
grown, we will grow them.” 
Available in both bush and climbing form—please specify. 1.25 
Harison’s Yellow. — H. Foetida. (1830.) The old-fashioned yellow brier 
rose of our grandparents, brought to California in the Gold Rush days of 49. Grows 
to six feet; fern-like rich green foliage; flowers—small, semi-double, bright yellow, 
in profuse Spring bloom only. Needs no coddling. 
We add the words of Louise Beebe Wilder, 1916—"Harisoni, that simple, loose 
petalled, soft yellow rose so lavish in its toll to passing June and so eloquent of old 
gardens and the days when simple things were the best beloved.” 1.50 
Henri Foquier. — Gallica (old). Deep-rose colored buds open to a silvery 
lilac-pink—a different tint from anything else we have ... and most attractive. Fra- 
grance likewise, different and delightful. 1.50 
—_9r~ 
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, 
Where oxslips and the nodding violet grows, 
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, 
With sweet musk roses and with eglantine. 
—MIDSUMMER NIGHT’s DREAM.
