Austrian Copper. Brier. (1596.) Says Louise Beebe Wilder in 1916: 
“The Austrian Copper is a true brier, bearing its wonderful burnished blossoms, vermilion 
on the upper side and yellow on the lower surface in lavish profusion; it is the most bril- 
liantly striking rose of my acquaintance.’’ It gives but once each season, but that | 
once is splendid indeed! Grows big . . . dislikes pruning. 1.75 
Banksia. A rampant climbing native of South China . . . grows to tre- 
mendous proportions in California and through the south . . . not hardy north. 
Its great masses of white or yellow blooms over a long spring season are an 
unequalled garden spectacle. Please specify preference white or yellow. 
Very limited quantity for 1952. 2.00 
Baroness Rothchild. H. Perpetual. (1868.) Our big, healthy plants 
in the field are producing a fine crop of round, many-petalled, cupped blooms 
such as you see in old tapestries, in those ‘‘strawberry and cream’’ shades 
3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
Baronne Prevost. H. Perpetual. (1842.) (Pray-voe.) Very husky, erect, 
vigorous plants producing profusely, double blooms in deep rose-pink, espe- 
cially pretty in bud form,—sweet, delicate fragrance. Among the best in our 
Hybrid Perpetual collection. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50 
Beauty of Glazenwood. Noisette. (1845.) Also known as Fortune’s 
Double Yellow, Gold of Ophir and San Rafael Rose. Rose G. Kingsley writing 
from London in 1908, tells the story for us—‘‘That singularly beautiful rose, 
Beauty of Glazenwood, is classed among the Notsettes, though it has nothing but its 
beauty in common with them. Requires a very dry, warm situation, when, if it 15 never 
pruned, will flower abundantly.’’ One of the first to bloom in this locality; its 
brilliant tones of yellow, orange and red, fairly shout a spring greeting from 
many an old cottage, barn and fence. 
At last, we have a fair supply. 175 
Belinda. H. Musk. (1936.) Very lively growth, dark emerald-green, 
long-pointed foliage. Blooms profusely in large trusses similar to the perennial 
phlox—counted two canes with 100 buds; starts bright rose-pink, with lighter 
centers, ages very slowly and pleasantly to mauve. Wonderful for hedge and 
neat pillars. 
Field notes r9s1—Our admiration for this sturdy, profuse-flowering shrub- 
rose grows with each season. 1.50 
Belle Isis. Gallica. (Eee-sees.) Produces in repeating cycles, just about 
the prettiest flesh-pink, double blossoms imaginable, almost as charming as 
Mesdames Lester and Stemler think they are. Will be a featured variety as long 
as we are growing roses. Better order one now,—you'll succumb finally, anyway. 
Belle of Portugal. H.Gigantea. Rampant is the word for the ‘‘Portu- 
guese Hussy.’’ Its great canes refuse to be confined, and from them hang in great 
profusion, enormous, semi-double, pale-pink blooms of rare beauty, over a long 
spring season only. Not hardy in severe climate, completely healthy elsewhere. 
1.50 
Belle Blanca. H. Gigantea. This is the white Belle of Portugal, other- 
wise identical in habit and bloom. The long, curling buds open frequently to 
six inch blooms. Admirers of the pink should have Belle Blanca also, a beauty 
in white satin. 175
