The Cabbage Rose 
Rosa 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 cli- 
mates 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. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
ROSA CENTIFOLIA MAJOR. This is the rosy 
or carmine-pink variety from the true centi- 
folia. Small but very double, incurved and 
overlapping petals. Very scarce. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
KONIGIN VON DANEMARK. (Booth Bros., 
1898.) Flowers medium size, very full, fra- 
grant, flesh-pink with darker center. Vigorous. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
MINIATURE ROSES 
All of these Roses are 75 cts. each; 3 of a kind for $2.00 
except where noted 
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 everbloom- 
ing Roses, although they do make nice 
edging plants for the small Rose-garden.

opening to ruby-red—lovely, non-fading 
color with no white center. This is a lovely 
red Fairy Rose. Potted plants.

ing profusely from late May on. $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50.
