HENRY NEVARD—A DistTINGuIsHED ARISTOCRAT 
Gruss an Teplitz. China. (1897.) We like the enthusiastic words of 
Rev. C. Sauerbrei, Salina, Kansas, to describe this prolific, highly fragrant bright 
red rose,—''I have been pleased with all your roses but Gruss an Teplitz is really some- 
thing! It looks like a rose bush in a tapestry . . . a beginner like me, I suppose, will learn 
the fine points of the newer roses in time but as an unsophisticated experimenter, I get great 
pleasure out of Teplitz,—a fine, straight-forward friendly rose that looks as if it came out 
of a story book and stands our climate like a clump of alfalfa.’’ Grows to about 4 
feet,—a real rose in anybody’s garden. 1.50 
Hansa. H. Rugosa. (1905.) Our very husky and beautifully foliaged 
plants are blooming profusely again as I write (August, 1951). Much like the 
distinguished Mrs. Anthony Waterer in form and plant character, except the 
color 1s brighter—'‘reddish violet’’—with a fine satiny sheen. Blooms all season 
and produces a fine fall crop of seed hips. 1.75 
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 gar- 
dens and the days when simple things were the best beloved.”’

Heinrich Conr. Soth. Semi-Cli. (1919.) Another delicately beautiful 
and altogether charming semi-climber, first seen in Roy Shepherd’s garden, 
Ohio. Blooms recurrently in pyramidal clusters of rose-pink single blooms with 
sparkling white centers. Now we wonder how a name like this could be given 
to such a dainty creation. 1.50
