ROGER LAMBELIN. H. Perpetual. (1890.) 6 - 8 feet. 
Along in the gay nineties, the family of hybrid perpetuals must have been 
startled when Roger first appeared, fer this strange hybrid is totally unlike 
any of them. Each dark magenta-red petal is edged with white and 
exquisitely perfumed. A strong-growing, healthy plant, preferring full 
sun, for a steady succession of bloom. 
Lois Spencer of Chicago has a word for it—“Included in my six favorite old 
roses, not because of its novelty but because it is a lovely thing, as well as an 
intricate thing. And, when wearing one, I’m charmed with the comments regard-

Next to Crested Moss, the most wanted rose in our catalog, old or 
new. 3 for 5.00 each 2.00 
R. MOYESII. Western China. Shrub. 6-8 feet. (Moy-ee’-zee-eye). 
Rated first in the shrub rose class by the National Rose Society of England 
. .. Its long, graceful canes are studded in spring only, with 2-3 inch 
single flowers of a most unusual shade—’’a velvety, reddish terracotta”’ 
or you put the color into words. 
TT include R. Moyesii in my favorite six old roses, because the blooms are of 
such a living vibrancy, even the old masters could not indicate their beauty. Color 
plates of this rose are mere travesties, and I hope I shall never see another one.” 
Thanks, Lois Spencer, Chicago—Amen! 2.00 
For those fortunate enough to enjoy the opportunity, I recommend a visit to 
Howard J. Tenner’s rose-garden in Glastonbury, Conn., who probably has the 
country’s largest collection of Hybrid Perpetuals.
