an 
NEVADA. Shrub. (1927.) 6 - 7 feet. 
This beautiful rose is so well portrayed by the noted English authority 
G. S. Thomas, we will let him describe Nevada for you, as appears in 
The National Rose Society’s Annual for 1953—‘The most spectacular of the 
newer shrub roses is Nevada, reputed to be a hybrid between an H.T. and Rosa 
Moyesii. This grand shrub has luxuriant light green foliage on arching branches 
which are studded with the great semi-double flowers in creamy-flesh colour, 
developing a rich blush-pink in hot weather ... it is recommended to all those 
who wish a perpetual flowering dense shrub of six to seven feet which needs no 
pruning, has few thorns, and suffers no diseases.” 
With us in constant bloom. 2.00 
OLD BLUSH. China. (1796.) 4 - 5 feet, spreading. 
Not only ‘The Last Rose of Summer” as immortalized by the poet Moore, 
but also the first and in between, for this China rose literally never stops. 
A semi-double “fluttering assemblage of pink petals’’ giving an impress- 
ion of airiness and gaiety. Don't plant it next to Chrysler Imperial (for- 
instance), for ‘never the twain should meet.” 1.73 
PAUL NEYRON. H. Perpetual. (1869.) 5 - 6 feet. 
“When you find the biggest rose you ever saw in an old garden, most 
likely it is Paul Neyron.” The great cupped, pink blooms are borne 
throughout the season on a lusty plant. Its fame is too well established 
to need further acclaim here. hes 
PERSIAN YELLOW. H. Foetida. (From Persia to England, 1837.) 8- 
10 feet. Unique in every respect, from its fern-like foliage, to the manner 
in which its rich, double, butter-yellow blooms are borne along the large 
canes. Dean Hole says—"This Rose is almost the earliest to tell us that summer 
is at hand, first by unfolding its sweet leaves, of a most vivid, refreshing green, 
and then by its golden blooms.” 
PINK GROOTENDORST. H. Rugosa. (1923.) 6 - 8 feet. 
A strong, lusty, upright grower, with handsome rugose foliage, completely 
disease resistant. This is the "carnation rose,”’ its petals almost exactly 
resembling a small carnation. As this catalogue is written, its beautiful 
clusters of soft pink flowers are one of the prettiest sights in the nursery.

PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. H. Perpetual. (1861.) 5 - 6 feet. 
Royalty among the Hybrid Perpetuals. A handsome and richly perfumed 
prince of roses, especially fine in spring and fall, when his large, cupped, 
dark-red blooms are near perfection. If I had to decide between Henry 
Nevard and Prince Camille among the H.P.’s, would have to consult 
“eggspert” Roy Hennessey. 3 for 5.00 each 2.00 
For those fortunate enough to enjoy the opportunity, I recommend a visit to 
Howard J. Tenner’s rose-garden in Glastonbury, Conn., who probably has the 
country’s largest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals.
