THE HANDSOME HIPS OF RUGOSA. . 
ROSE A PARFUM de l'HAY. H. Rugosa. (1903.) 4 - 5 feet. 
The Damask Rose and the famous General Jacqueminot are in its parent- 
age, and account for the enormous cherry-red blooms and wonderful 
fragrance. Foliage is rugose from the other side of the family, and plant 
is robust and free blooming. 
Says Bunyard in “Old Garden Roses'’—"I do not know any more richly 
scented rose than the rugosa Parfum de l’Hay. A contralto scent in contrast with 
the Tea’s soprano.” 
And Hortense Wild, once again sums up in a pat phrase—‘*A summer- 
long pageant of heaven-scented beauty.” 2.00 
ROSE DES PEINTRES. Centifolia. (Ancient.) 4 - 5 feet. 
A beautiful bushy plant, which blooms profusely in spring . . . literally 
dozens of large, many petalled, shining soft-pink flowers . ... the type 
you see in old paintings, for this rose served as a model to the Dutch 
flower artists. Intense old-rose odor... so fine it enthuses the critical nose 
of chemist Neville Miller, who calls it ‘the best of the cabbage roses in 
Palmerion, Pa., and outblooms them all.” 2.00 
ROSELTE DELIZY: .fea. 922.) 13. =4 jest, 
When the rose garden is ‘‘quiet,’’ this lively and luxuriant tea rose will be 
in full-bloom—it literally never stops. Flowers are medium size, pert and 
well formed; basic color is cadmium-yellow, outer petals dark carmine, 
in very pleasing contrast. Knows no diseases, even laughs at aphids. 
“Rosette Delizy was first pointed out to me in some old Mexican gardens in 
San Diego, where it is known by the poetic name ‘Rosa Trieste.” Thanks Austin 
Faricy ... welcome back to the catalog. 1.73 
‘Tl walked at eventide, and, lo! 
Over a hedge a fairy smiled at me, 
Over a hedge of Roses!”
