CARDINAL DE RICHELIEU. (Laffay, 1840.) 
Very dark, double flowers of medium size, 
extremely handsome and rich m coloring. In | 
some lights the deeper violet tones are almost 
blue, and in others they are purple verging to 
velvety black. Supply limited. $3.00 each; | 
3 for $8.00. 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
DESIREE PARMENTIER. Color is between 
light red and deep pink. Its spectacular color 
combination always draws the attention of 
lovers of Old-fashioned Roses. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
DUMORTIER. (1810.) Very double; rose-pink ===" 
with silvery pmk reflexes. Most attractive 
and distinct. This historical French Rose is 
always prized for its fresh, brilliant coloring. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
GEORGES VIBERT. (Robert, 1853.) One of 
the most striking Gallica Roses—bright solid 
pink occasionally penciled with reddish pink 
or white stripes. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
JEANNETTE. (Descemet, 1880.) Double 
flowers of bright light red, fading gradually to 
light rose-pink. An attractive variety. While 
the French term this “light red,” it is really a 
gorgeous combination of vermilion and old- 
rose-pink, very similar to the popular Hybrid 
Tea, Margaret McGredy. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
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 generally 
borne in trusses of three or more. The fame 
of their powerful fragrance is only one of 
their attributes. 
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. 4 
$3.00 each; 3 for $8.00. 
KING GEORGE IV. (Rivers, 1830.) Loosely 
double, cupped flowers of dark vivid crim- 
son. Grows like a Hybrid Perpetual and 
blooms in June. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
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 
perfume. Maiden’s Blush is probably a hy- 
brid of Rosa alba (York Rose) and therefore 
rather difficult to classify. We are probably 
correct in calling it one of the old Damasks, 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
The Damask Rose 
Che French or 
©Gallica Roses 
Centuries ago the only hardy garden Roses were a few 
groups of once-blooming types and probably the most popu- 
lar of them were the Gallicas, or so-called French Roses. 
ROSA MUNDI. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
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, 
Panachée Double and Perle des Panachées. 
Rose-pink on a white background. $2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00. 
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. $2.25 each; 3 for 
$6.00. 
ROSA 
DAMASCENA. 
$2.25 each; 
3 for $6.00 
ROSA GALLICA. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00 
CEILLET PARFAIT. (Foulard, 1841.) Medium- 
sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pink, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. $3.00 each; 3 for 
$8.00. 
PRESIDENT DE SEZE. (Mme. Hébert.) 
Lilac-red, shaded violet-orchid—most unusual 
color found in no other Rose. Very large, full, 
magnificent flowers In great profusion practi- 
cally covering the plant. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
PRESIDENT DUTAILLY. (Dubreuil, 1888.) 
Carmine-pink flowers of large size; deep cupped 
form and very fragrant. Very floriferous. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $5.40. 
ROSA GALLICA. Ancestor of all the French 
Roses and, in fact, there is Gallica blood in 
most every modern hybrid Rose. Large, 
single, dark pink flowers on erect bushes 2144 
to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decoration, 
arrange them in a low bowl, and you have a 
‘Teplica” of the finest paintings by the old 
masters. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
ROSA MUNDI. (Vibert, 1875.) Rather large, 
semi-double flowers of white or pale pink, 
broadly striped red and dark rose. Some petals 
may be all white, others all red, some half 
white and half red, some evenly striped. This 
is the Rose usually sold as York and Lancaster 
and a far more colorful and interesting Rose, 
(except, perhaps not quite so_ historical). 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
TRICOLORE DE FLANDRE. (Van Houtte, 
1846.) The double, well-shaped flowers are 
lilac-white, striped with pink, purple, and 
crimson; fragrant. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
(Rosa Damascena) 
MARIE LOUISE. Large, double flowers of rich 
deep pink. They are intensely fragrant and 
beautifully formed. Bushy, shrubby growth. 
The most desirable of the Damask family. 
$2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
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. $2.25 each; 3 for $6.00. 
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. $2.25 each; 
‘3 for $6.00. 
ROSA DAMASCENA. (1500.) The original 
Rose of Damascus. Yields double rose-pink 
blooms with 18 or more petals. When fully 
open, the golden stamens add to its Ioveliness. 
Pleasingly and deliciously fragrant. $2.25 
each; 3 for $6.00.
