FASHIONED ROSES }s 
ISTORY, sentiment, poets and scribes are all entwined with these old roses, and the fact 
that we moderns can have in our gardens the Roses so loved by the ancients, adds much 
to their attractiveness. These Roses do not belong in beds of the Modern Hybrid Teas 
but are best in the background and interplanted among other shrubs in the shrub border. 
Being shrubs in habit they should have about 3 feet between them. 
Although most of them bloom but once each year they provide splendid crops of unusually 
attractive and, in most cases, intensely fragrant flowers in early summer, followed by interesting 
fruit (hips). There are no other flowering plants to compare with the exquisite beauty of the 
Mosses, the distinctiveness of the striped and deep violet Gallicas and the delicious fragrance 
of the Centifolias and Damasks. 
PRUNING: Flowers are borne on old wood. As the plants age, thin out old wood in the 
early spring, saving the best 1-year and 2-year stems; shorten laterals. For very fine flowers, 
cut down 22 to 3 feet each spring.

blooming. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
CRESTED MOSS. It has been called Cristata 
and Chapeau de Napoleon. Although not a 
true Moss, the calyx of the bloom is so re- 
markably fringed and frilled that it cannot be 
assigned to any other class. Large, and bright 
rose-pink. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
GLOIRE DES MOUSSEUX. (Laffay, 1852.) 
Old authorities claimed this to be finest of all

3 or more, $2.00 each. 
MME. LOUIS LEVEQUE. (Léveque, 1898.) 
While this is a modern variety compared to 
many others we offer, it is now considered, 
from a standpoint of size, perfume and moss- 
iness, to be one of the finest of all times. The 
color is a brilliant salmon-pink. Extraordinary 
perfume. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
MOUSSEUX ANCIEN. The delicate pink 
flowers are shaded darker toward the center. 
The sepals are beautifully mossed, making it

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.

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-pink at 
the base, that is not equaled in any other va- 
viety. Pronounced fragrance. Maiden’s Blush 
is probably a hybrid of Rosa alba (York Rose) 
and therefore rather difficult to classify. $2.25 
each; 3 or more, $2.00 each.

MME. HARDY. (Hardy, 1832.) This is the
