HUGONIS. Golden Rose of China. 6 - 7 feet. 
Its long, graceful canes and delicate fern-like foliage would be reason 
enough to grow this shrub rose, even without the great spring crop of 
lovely, single, pale-yellow blooms. Rated among the three best shrub 
roses in England. 
“The chill of winter is never out of my bones until Father Hugo blooms.”—Lois 
Spencer, Chicago. ede: 
JOHN HOPPER. H. Perpetual. (1862.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Another of those typical vigorous, bushy plants to catch our fancy. Unusual 
for its bright rose tones and lilac shadings—large, double and intensely 
fragrant. Repeats if it likes you... and your fault if it doesn’t. These big 
hybrid perpetuals are the friendliest of all roses. 2.00 
JUBILEE. H. Perpetual. (1897.) 4-5 feet. 
One of the really BLACK-red roses, with all-season double blooms, 
heavily perfumed. Does not “blue’’ and appears completely immune 
to mildew, rust or blackspot. In California, we prefer Jubilee to the better- 
known Black Prince, in a similar velvety color. 2.00 
RATHLEEN. HH. MOsSCHATA. (1922.) 10-15 feet. 
Kathleen, with the Musk fragrance, is so closely associated with us from the 
beginning, | think of her almost as a personal friend, who will be grown 
and listed in this catalog, as long as I write one. Certainly not for the 
enthusiast who can see no beauty except in the hybrid teas, or who 
yawns at the sight of apple blossoms, for these it closely resembles. 
Strong grower in sun or shade, completely healthy and oak-hardy. Can 
be confined to shrub proportions or will reach a second story window .. 
fully amenable to your wishes, never stops blooming. 
Kathleen, like the famous ‘Sally in our Alley, surely is the ‘darling of our 
hearts’. Mrs. V. B. McMillin, Canon City, Colo. sor 4.50. -eaen 1.75 
LADY PENZANCE. H. Sweetbrier. (1894.) 6 - 7 feet. 
Similar to Eglantine in its apple-scented foliage but perhaps more graceful 
and moderate in growth-habit. The single flowers are a metallic coppery 
shade, in great spring profusion. (Supply limited) 2.00 
LADY SYLVIA. H. Tea. (1926.) Medium grower. 
I am greatly indebted to a charming gentleman and fine Canadian 
rosarian, Arthur J. Webster, for our start of Lady Sylvia and several other 
varieties, which he selected as his favorites out of a large collection in 
his Toronto garden. They are mostly English importations, seldom seen 
here. Mr. Webster's taste obviously runs to the delicate colorings and 
smartly curled buds, of which Lady Sylvia is a beautiful example. 
(Supply limited until 1956) 2.00 
Po THAN. Ho tec 
Alas, it appears that a dismal error in the field, still persists to plague 
us. Our “LaFrance” for 1955 is a beautiful and similar rose, but it is not 
the true La Belle. We shall have it for you in 1956.
