MINIATURE 
ROSES 
COPYRIGHTED 
These charming little roses, sometimes called ‘‘Dwart Fairy 
Roses’’, seldom grow more than a foot high. Though small 
and dainty, they are exceedingly hardy. They should never 
be planted right in among other everblooming roses, al- 
though they do make nice edging plants for the small rose 
garden. They have many uses in rock gardens and with 
your perennials. You can even use them as dwarf house 
plants. 
PIXIE. Most fully double of all miniature roses. Blooms 
continuously all season. A lovely shade of apple-blossom 
pink that will captivate you. 75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
SWEET FAIRY. A new miniature rose with dainty, dark 
pink buds. Very double flower that is extremely fragrant. 
$1.00 each; 3 for $2.75. 
TOM THUMB. A red rose bud that will make you an attrac- 
tive boutonniere. When the deep crimson bud opens you 
find a bright eye in the heart of each flower formed by a 
touch of white at the base of each petal. 75c each; 3 for 
$2.00. 
RED ELF. New for 1949. Red Elf is the richest and deep- 
est color of them all—a velvety Bordeaux red. Graceful 
habit, vigor and profusion of blooms make it a worthy 
companion to all other miniature roses offered in this 
column. From the time the tiny buds show color until 
the flowers reach their full %4-in. diameter they are a 
thing of beauty. A bit of white at the base of each 
petal adds an effective and pleasing contrast. $1.25 
each; 3 for $3.15. 

RUGOSA AND MISCELLANEOUS ROSES 
Rugosa roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, health- 
iness, and ability to thrive under most adverse conditions 
of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. Use them 
in your shrub borders as you would spiraea, forsythia, etc. 
We have used them considerably for straight hedge work. 
Prices postpaid: $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00 
AUSTRIAN COPPER. Single, brilliant orange-red flowers 
inside and yellow outside. Everybody who sees it wants 
it and we have never had enough to go around until this 
season. 
GROOTENDORST SUPREME. An improved variety of the 
older Grootendorst. Large, fringed, cherry-red flowers 
borne on a fine, large, well-foliaged plant. You will pay 
respects to the foliage on this plant and love the carnation- 
type flowers. 
HUGONIS. Light yellow flowers borne profusely along the 
branches. Very hardy, blooms very early. Often called 
the ‘‘Golden Rose of China’’. 
LIPSTICK. A shrub rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 
ft. It blooms continuously during the summer, forming 
large clusters of semi-double flowers. The color is a clear 
cerise with salmon shadings. 
MING TOY. While considered a floribunda, we find that it 
can very easily be used for a shrub rose. For a full de- 
scription of this variety, see page 15. 
SKYROCKET. A real everblooming shrub rose producing 
enormous flower clusters throughout the entire summer. 
Makes a magnificent display with its large clusters com- 
posed of medium sized brilliant red blooms. Of sturdy, 
upright habit which makes it most desirable planted 
either by itself or in combination with various kinds of 
shrubs. 
RUGOSA RUBRA. Early blooming. Large, single flowers 
of various shades of pink, magenta, and rose-crimson. 
Makes an excellent hedge.
