ROSES 
The Roses that we list are the ones we have found after 20 years of experience to be best adapted to the 
light sandy soils and climatic conditions prevailing in the southeastern coastal plain, under cultural conditions 
normally provided by the average home owner. While many of the newer Hybrid Tea and patented Roses 
can be grown successfully if special soil mixtures and meticulous care are provided, in general, they do not 
thrive and persist here as well as the more thrifty older varieties. 
BUSH TEA ROSES 
These old-fashioned, delightfully fragrant Roses 
are adapted to many landscape uses and are good 
cut flowers if taken in tight bud. They are long lived 
and the most disease resistant of all, thriving with- 
out spraying. They bloom over an exceedingly long 
period in the South, have excellent, practically 
evergreen foliage and are the best shrub Roses. 
RED. 
LOUIS PHILIPPE. (Bengal.) Deep crimson. Ex- 
tremely free-flowering, dense compact shrub 
Rose with fine glossy evergreen foliage. Will 
thrive under more adverse conditions than 
almost any other Rose. Very popular. 
WHITE. 
WHITE MAMAN COCHET. A Tea Rose excel- 
lent for cutting. White with outer petals tinted 
pink and pale yellow centers. 
YELLOW. 
ALEXANDER HILL GRAY. Light yellow in bud, 
opening creamy white. 
SAFRANO. This is deservedly one of the most 
popular of southern Roses. It bears its light 
yellow, faintly salmon-tinted, fragrant flowers 
profusely over the longest period of any Rose 
in this locality. The foliage is entirely ever- 
green in the Lower South, and here it often 
blooms throughout mild winters. 
PINK. 
BRIDESMAID. Clear pink; long, strong stems. 
DUCHESSE DE BRABANT. Fine old light pink 
variety with rounded buds. 
MME. LOMBARD. Tall, strong growing. Reliable, 
heavy-stemmed flowers, bright to deep rose 
in color. 
SUNNY SOUTH. Pink flushed carmine, on pale 
yellow base. Vigorous, profuse bloomer.
