GREEN ROSE—''Ugh!” 
GREEN ROSE. (1856.) 4-5 feet. 
Whenever we book an order for this rose, we are fearful lest our good 
customer may be expecting something in form and substance like Crimson 
Glory, except in sea-foam green or Chinese jade. Certainly this rose is 
an interesting novelty—tbut for beauty, it has only “ugh!” Its flowers are 
no flowers at all but a strange and quite unexplained freak of foliage; 
the buds open to double, leaf-green ‘‘flowers,’’ edged with bronze. 
A strange thing happened to my Green Rose. Planted in the front of my display 
garden, it attracted much attention. One customer in particular was so interested 
she offered $20.00 for it (gosh!). One morning, I arrived at the nursery to find 
a large hole where the Green Rose had been, and a five dollar bill tucked under 
the door.”—Mrs. Gertrude Guthrie, Magic Gardens, Wilmington, Calif 
ornia. Will either the twenty dollar or even the five dollar lady contact us 
immediately, please. 2.00 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ: | China: 1897.) 4-5 feet. 
“Hybrid Tea’ says the National Rose Society of England, but its almost 
constant bloom seems more ’’China” to us. A large, velvety, dark-scarlet 
rose of 33 petals, not tops for cutting, but outstanding for fragrant hedges 
and garden decoration. Long and justly famous. 3 for 4.00 each 1.50

As Cupid danced among 
The Gods, he down the nectar flung; 
Which on the white rose being shed, 
Made it forever after red.”—HERRICK
