ROSES 
The only roses we list that do not require winter protection are 
Austrian Comer, Grootendorst, Harrison’s Yellow, Hugonis, and Snow- , 
queen. For display in the yard the Floribunda roses listed under the 
Polyantha roses are gaining in popularity. The Hybrid Tea Roses are | 
the everblooming roses most popular for cutting. 
Many of the roses popular elsewhere in America do not thrive 
here. The picture and description of a rose in a magazine or eastern 
catalog may be interesting, yet the rose will not perform the same

customers. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Hardier varieties of roses have been crossed with Tea Roses and 
called Hybrid Tea Roses. We maintain a test grounds in Denver and 
Omaha in order to be up-to-date with the sturdiest and most productive 
varieties for our territory. They bloom the same season they are 
planted -- from June till frost. They should be planted in beds. 
spaced 18 to 24 inches apart, in the open yard free of tree and shrub 
roots. Excellent for autting bouquets. The queen of flowers. See 
varieties listed in the Platebook and Pricelist. Ail require winter © 
protection. Require spraying or dusting to keep heaithy foliage. 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
For several years we handled the smali-flowering Polyantha roses. 
We called them Baby Ramblers. Now we have the large-fiowering Poly- 
antha roses which are nicknamed Floribunda roses. Many people do not 
realize that the Floribunda are polyanthas -- improved varieties. 
They are particularly showy in beds in the yard. They bloom more pro- 
fusely and more continuously than Hybrid Tea Roses. While some peopie 
Like the flowers of some varieties of Polyanthas for bouquets, most 
people prefer H. T. Roses for this purpose. Place in beds and when 
possible use two or more rows in a bed for better show. Space 2 feet 
in mm mei 
apart. Protect with a soil mound for winter, although they are more - 
hardy than most H. T. varieties. See varieties listed in Platebook 
and Pricelist. 
CLIMBING ROSES 
Climbing roses are subject to winter killing in most of our 
territory. For protection they may be wrapped with burlap or paper. 
While you occasionally see a climbing rose growing good against the | 
south or west side of a building, this is generally a hazardous posi- 
tion because of the quick and extreme changes in the temperature dur- 
ing the winter. An east wall is less hazardous. Fences or trellises 
in the open yard are preferred locations. 
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE 
Snow Queen (Frau Karl Druschki) is the only H. P. rose we handle. 
Large snow-white roses with some recurrent blooms afterward. Protect 
with a soil mound for winter. Hardier than H. T. Roses. Should not 
be planted in the same bed with H. T. Roses because of its sturdier 
growth. Space 2 to 3 feet apart. A real white, and large rose. 
BUSH ROSES 
Hardy and require no covering. Plant one variety alone or group 
three or more together. Space 4 to 5 feet apart- 
AUSTRIAN COPPER
