SHRUB ROSES 
Lipstick Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
A “shrub’’ Rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 feet. It blooms con- 
tinuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This European 
variety certainly is a most interesting addition. There are so few tall 
growing Roses; it will be most welcome. 
ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse cond'tions of soil and climate, with- 
standing almost anything. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, 
and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or Rugosa foliage. Particularly valu- 
able for hedges or shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the 
winters are very severe. Many are everbloomers. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this does 
not mean they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the Groot- 
endorst type, yet their foliage does not appear to have much Rugosa in it. 
Planting Distance: Hedges—1'/% to 2 feet. Shrubs—3 to 4 feet. 
Pruning: Shrub types—cut out old canes and shorten new canes to 4 feet. 
Height: 4 to 5 feet except where noted. 
Grootendorst Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
An improved variety having large, fringed, cherry-red flowers borne on 
a fine, large, well foliaged bush. Excellent as a hedge. 
Sir Thomas Lipton Each $1.75, Three $4.55, Doz. $18.60 
It is one of the earliest Roses to bloom, starting to open its semi-double, 
pure white blossoms in late May and continuing freely until late fall. 
The exceptionally fine fragrance alone qualifies it as a garden Rose. 
For hardiness, tolerance and usefulness Sir Thomas Lipton has no equals. 
Maximum height 4 to 5 feet. Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois, Test 
Garden Bulletin of July, 1940. 
ROSA HUGONIS 
A splendid Rose for the shrubbery border with delicate yellow, single 
flowers produced on long, arching sprays early in May; after it has finished 
flowering it remains an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the 
season; perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
Its ultimate height is about 5 to 6 feet, depending on soil. 
Rose Soil Expert 
For many years we have been employing the services of Harry 
L. Daunoy, and with splendid results. Mr. Daunoy is a Rose Soil 
Expert of national reputation. 
If your Roses are not flowering as freely as they should, or if 
they do not have a healthy foliage and luxuriant growth, we sug- 
gest you give Mr. Daunoy a trial. 
Rose trouble is frequently due to a faulty soil condition or to 
some minor correction or adjustment in fertilizing. 
We are always happy to assist our customers in any way and 
have made an arrangement with Mr. Daunoy to make his services 
available to our Rose growers. Instead of his usual charge of 
$4.00 for each soil test and report, if you will tell him you are a 
WAYSIDE GARDENS customer, his report and recommendation 
will cost you only $3.00. 
You may confidently expect the finest results if you will follow 
his recommendations. Those who have done so have obtained a 
greater number of blooms of finer quality, along with less losses 
in their plants due to unfavorable soil conditions. 
Take soil samples as follows: 
Mix and work the soil in five scattered places in the flower 
bed to the depth of a trowel, mixing the soil thoroughly in each 
worked spot. Take two tablespoons of soil from each such place 
and put into a clean ice cream box or similar container. Wrap in 
strong paper and send by parcel post. Be sure that all tools and 
containers are clean and free of fertilizers and chemicals which 
may contaminate the sample. 
SEND THESE SAMPLES DIRECT TO: Mr. Harry L. Daunoy, 
26 Farnham Place, Metairie, New Orleans 20, Louisiana. 
Do not send them to WAYSIDE GARDENS, as we are not 
equipped to make such tests here.
