RP ROXBURGHI=*""The’Ghesinut Rese 
CHESTNUT ROSE. (China.) R. Roxburghi Plena. (1825.) 8 - 10 feet. 
Probably the most unique rose in our gardens, and one of the most beauti- 
ful. Vigorous, upright grower, with rich green foliage resembling the 
leaves of the locust tree, abundantly grown from the gray-green stalks. 
Ours is the double variety, about 2¥2 inch blooms of a lovely but inde- 
scribable rose-pink, shading lighter to the edges. “They resemble the French 
artificial roses we used to wear on our straw hats,’ says Mrs. Keays, in “Old 
Roses.’ Both buds and hips are so covered with bristles as to closely 
resemble a chestnut burr. 
With us, always in bloom; a truly remarkable rose. And please, dear 
customer, if it looks brown and shaggy to you on arrival, don't rush to 
report it ‘’dead.” It isn't! 2.90 
CHERGKEE- ROSE. (Rh: loevigata 820 téet, 
A famous Southern rose, and the state flower of Georgia. The beauty of 
its large single blooms and handsome “varnished” foliage is too well 
known and loved to need much verbiage here. We have a limited supply 
of red, white and pink... please specify color preference. 
“Naturalized in many places through the South, making our lanes and country 
roads a scene of beauty every spring.”—Ralph Dasher, Florence, Ala. Lae
