Old-fashioned Roses, continued 
Centuries ago the only hardy garden Roses were a few groups of once-blooming types and probably the most 
popular of them were the Gallicas, or so-called French Roses, 
COUPE D’HEBE. (Laffay, 1840.) From deep 
rose-pink to pale tones; full cupped flower; 
very fragrant. Vigorous growth. $2.25 each; 
3 or more, $2.00 each. 
DUC DE GUICHE. Large, double flowers of a 
curious orchid shade. An oddity of great 
interest. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
JEANNETTE. (Descemet, 1880.) Double 
flowers of bright light red, fading gradually to 
light rose-pink. An attractive variety. While 
the French term this “ight red,” it is really a 
gorgeous combination of vermilion and old- 
rose-pink. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
CEILLET PARFAIT. (Foulard, 1841.) Medium- 
sized, very double flowers of pale blush-pink, 
striped with red and crimson. Resembles a 
scarlet bizarre carnation. $2.25 each; 3 or 
more, $2.00 each. 
PRESIDENT DE SEZE. (Mme. Hébert.) 
Lilac-red, shaded violet-orchid—most unusual 
color found in no other Rose. Very large, full, 
magnificent flowers in great profusion practi- 
cally covering the plant. $2.25 each; 3 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
ROSA GALLICA. Ancestor of all the French 
Roses and, in fact, there is Gallica blood m 
most every modern hybrid Rose. Large, 
single, dark pink flowers carried on erect bushes 
2% to 3 feet tall. Cut them for home decora- 
tion, arrange them in a low bowl, and you 
have a “replica” of the finest paintings by 
reel’ masters. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 
each. 
ROSA MUNDI. (Vibert, 1875.) Rather large, 
semi-double flowers of white or pale pink, 
broadly striped red and dark rose. Some petals 
may be all white, others all red, some half 
white and half red, and some evenly striped. 
Altogether they form one of the loveliest color 
combinations. This is the Rose usually sold 
as York and Lancaster and a far more colorful 
and interesting Rose. $2.25 each; 3 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
TRICOLORE DE FLANDRE. (Van Houtte, 
1846.) The double, well-shaped flowers are 
lilac-white, striped with pink, purple, and 
crimson; fragrant. $2.25 each; 3 or more, 
$2.00 each.

brilliant yellow blooms from the middle of 
May to early June. Semi-double, bright yellow 
flowers on sturdy plants. 6 to 8 feet tall; reg- 
ulate by pruning. $2.50 each; 3 or more,

MARECHAL NIEL. Noisette. (Pradel, 1864.) 
Yellow. Lovely buds and flowers of deep 
golden yellow, double and extremely fragrant. 
Simce it is not hardy in the North we have

house-grown pot-plants for use in a conserva- 
tory or cool greenhouse at $3.50 each. Also 
dormant plants for outdoor planting m mild 
southern climates. $2.50 each; 3 or more,

summer. Bushy plant 2 to 3 feet high. Very 
scarce. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
ROSA ALBA. York Rose. Large, flat, pure, 
white blooms with yellow centers, varying from 
single to semi-double. The tissue-like petals of 
this lovely old Rose are quite distinct, as is the 
gray-green wood and glaucous foliage. This 
historical Rose is always a “must have’’ for 
collectors of old Roses. Tall growth. $2.25 
each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
R. ECAE. (R. Primula). (Turkestan.) Pale 
yellowish flowers, 1 to 11% inches across, borne 
freely along the erect leafy branches very early 
in the season. Prickly stems 4 to 5 feet tall, 
with finely divided foliage which, when wet, 
emits a strong odor of formic acid. Its shiny dark 
green leaves and red thorns on the branches 
make it very attractive the whole year round.

R. EGLANTERIA (R. rubiginosa). Eglantine; 
Sweet-brier. Bright pink flowers in small

Rosa centifolia 
CABBAGE (Rosa centifolia). This is the origina]
