PRESIDENT DE SEZE. 
Old-fashioned Roses, continued 
Centuries ago the only hardy garden Roses were a few groups of once-blooming types 
and probably the most popular of them were the Gallicas, or so-called French Roses. 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. $2.25 each; 
3 or more, $2.00 each. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
(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. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
CEILLET PARFAIT. (Foulard, 1841.) Medium- 
sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pmnk, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. $2.25 each; 3 or 
more, $2.00 each. 
(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 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
ROSA GALLICA. Ancestor of all the French 
Roses and, im fact, there ts Gallica blood in 
most every modern hybrid Rose. Large, 
single, dark pink flowers carried on erect bushes 
2% to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decora- 
tion, arrange them in a low bowl, and you 
have a “replica” of the finest pamntings by 
eed masters. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 
each. 
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, and some evenly striped. 
Altogether they form one of the loveliest color 
combinations. This is the Rose usually sold 
as York and Lancaster and a far more colorful 
and interesting Rose. $2.25 each; 3 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
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 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
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. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
MARIE LOUISE. Large, double flowers of rich 
deep pink. They are intensely fragrant and 
beautifully formed. Bushy, shrubby growth. 
The most destrable of the Damask family. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
ROSA DAMASCENA 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each 
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-pmk 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. Maiden’s 
Blush ts probably a hybrid 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 or more, $2.00 ea. 
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 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
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 or more, $2.00 each. 
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 loveliness. 
Pleasingly and deliciously fragrant. $2.25 
each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.

Scotch Roses 
Rosa spinosissima Hybrids and others 
Small, fern-like foliage and spiny growth 
distinguish this group. They are all extremely 
hardy, trouble-free, making fine compact 
bushes that combine well with other shrubs 
and are handsome as specimen plants. 
PRUNING: Thin out old wood only. 
HARISON’S YELLOW. (Harison, 1830.) The 
yellow shrub Rose of oldtime gardens. One 
established plant will produce hundreds of 
brilliant yellow blooms from the middle of 
May to early June. Semi-double, bright yellow 
flowers on sturdy plants. 6 to 8 feet tall; reg- 
ulate by pruning. $2.50 each; 3 or more, 
$2.25 each. 
ROSA SPINOSISSIMA. White. The original 
Scotch Rose. Flowers usually white, but 
sometimes pink or yellowish. Very fragrant. 
An excellent hedge subject. It is the sweetest 
scented of all our wild Roses. It looks loveliest 
in its native haunts, with its red-tipped buds 
and blush-white flowers. 3 feet. $1.25 each; 
10 for $10.00; 25 for $18.75. 
ROSA SPINOSISSIMA ALTAICA. Grows 
taller and more vigorously than the species 
and produces larger, sparklmg white flowers. 
The true Altai Scotch Rose. $2.25 each; 3 or 
more, $2.00 each. 
STANWELL PERPETUAL. (Lee.) Pink. 
This old favorite blooms during the entire 
season. Flesh-pink, double blooms, sweetly 
fragrant. Graceful and spraying branches form 
a neat low dense bush 3 to 4 feet tall. Will 
grow taller rf allowed to go unpruned. More 
blooms are produced on low-pruned plants. 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.
