F. J. GROOTENDORST. H. Rugosa. (1918.) 6 feet. 
This and its companion the Pink Grootendorst, listed later, should be in 
every rose garden, where more variety than a mere bevy of hybrid tea 
beauties is desired. Plant is vigorous, disease proof, easily kept within 
bounds, and has the characteristic handsome rugose foliage. Blooms 
are in clusters, bright red in some locations, crimson in others, its unique 
feature being the serrated edges which almost exactly resemble a car- 
nation; in constant and profuse bloom. 3:for 4.50 each 1.75 
FRANG@IS EB Jeol panemio47.) 15-20 feet. 
Of all the many seedlings developed by the late Mr. Lester, in hybridization 
with his favorite rose Kathleen, this one he considered the finest, and we 
think is most worthy to bear his name. From its Musk rose origin, comes its 
tremendous vigour, and its great masses of bloom. Flowers are in clusters 
of 25 to 30, about two inches across, opening pale pink, turning white, then 
drop quickly. Back in Medina, Ohio where winters are cold (b-r-r-r), and 
Roy Shepherd holds forth, this has proved to be the hardiest musk hybrid, 
and the most profuse. Roy says so. Ld 
FRAU DAGMAR HASTRUP. Rugosa. 
A five-petalled star in satiny, soft-pink, which blooms profusely and 
repeatedly on a spreading plant, with a background of handsome rugose 
foliage. ‘A flower artist's dream of loveliness.’ The curious may find it 
mentioned elsewhere in this catalog, anonymously.

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. H. Perpetual. (1901.) 6 feet. 
This is the great white lady of rosedom! Sometimes known as the “Snow 
Queen” because of her pure whiteness and queenly form. Free-flowering, 
tall-growing, and ... lovely! 3 for 4.00 each 1.59 
FRUHLINGSGOLD. (Spring Gold.) H. Spin. (1937.) To 10 feet. 
Originated by the German hybridist, Kordes. A most vigorous, arching 
shrub rose, producing in spring a really “stupendous” crop of 4-5 inch 
semi-double blossoms, starting pale yellow and opening pure white to 
show bright-red stamens. Completely healthy and hardy. Certainly among 
the most beautiful shrub roses of our acquaintance. 2.00 
FRUHLINGSMORGEN. H. Spin. (1942.) 6-8 feet. | 
Another very hardy shrub by Kordes. Says G. S. Thomas, England— 
“Perhaps the most exquisite of single roses. Each bloom is a model of beauty, pink 
in the bud, opening to rich cherry-pink at the edges, soft yellow in the center, 
with a ring of maroon stamens. Superlative quality.” 
Not as profuse in spring as Fruhlingsgold, but it flowers through the 
whole season. A wonderful pair... you should have both of them! 2.00
