LA FRANCE CLIMBING. Cli. H. Tea. (1893.) 10 - 12 feet. 
This is the true Climbing LaFrance, otherwise identical to the bush type. 
Silvery pink, reverse bright pink, 60 petalled, recurrent with that dis- 
tinctive fragrance. World famous! B25 
LAMARQUE. Noisette. (1830.) 15 - 20 feet. 
Rosamund Marriott Watson writing from London in 1905, tells the 
story far better than could we. “This first summer month that brings the rose has 
brought an unaccustomed wealth of bloom to that little known and half-forgotten 
masterpiece, my Lamarque, of whose possession I am, perhaps, not unjustly vain. 
The merit, however, of setting it where it still glorifies the worn stone coping of 
the ancient red brick wall belongs not to me, but to some beneficent Unknown, 
who planted roses some seventy years since. I would I might leave behind as sweet 
a monument. The flowers are of the purest white—the dense white of the water- 
lily, and their great moon-pale cups lie open wide, like marble blossoms carved in 
low relief, exhaling an exquisite odor. Think of the mingled virtues of lily and rose 
in one, and you may foreshadow some dim likeness of the Lamarque, should you not 
be so fortunate as to know it already.” After such word music as this, think 
I will buy one myself. 2.00 
LA VILLE de BRUXELLES. (Damask.) (1849.) 5 - 6 feet. 
“A queen among pink roses”, producing in spring, large, many-petalled 
blooms with incurved centers—damask fragrance. Exceptionally luxuri- 
ant light green foliage. (Supply limited until 1956) 2.25 
LEDA. (Painted Damask.) 4 - 5 feet. 
A beautiful novelty! Blooms in clusters of palest blush-pink, with many 
small, tight petals, lipped with crimson. Spring flowering. 
(Supply VERY limited until 1956) 2.25 
Pete COMPTON CHEEPER. Brownell. (1938.) 15 - 20 feet. 
Equally effective as a ground-cover or decorating a fence. Like all the 
Brownell creations, the foliage is dark and glossy, and complete hardi- 
ness has been the keynote of all their hybridization. Orange-red buds 
open to 3 inch single blooms of delicate rose-pink, with exquisite shad- 
ings. Profuse spring flowering. 2.00 
LOUIS PHILIPPE. China. (1834.) (Fee-leep.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Among our most bountiful reses; cannot remember seeing it ever without 
a crop of globular deep scarletred roses, nodding a cheery welcome. 
Memories of the deep South, Creole beauties, New Orleans in Spring— 
not for Yankee gardens in cold climates ... for California and all warmer 
sections, yes! lifes 
MAIDEN’S BLUSH. H. Alba. (1797.) 5 - 6 feet. 
The rose of Mrs. Browning's poem. Fully double, clear, lively but soft-pink, 
shading lighter to the edges. One of the special favorites of Dr. Griffith 
Buck, of lowa State College, and has aroused the interest of master-chemist 
and rosarian, Neville Miller of Palmerton, Penn., who says—Has the 
intense fragrance of white hyacinths! An ideal background rose which does well 
in semi-shade.” Stors4.50 «each 75
