DELICATA—With the tantalizing fragrance. 
CREEPING EVERBLOOM. Large Flowering Running Rose. 10-20 feet. 
(Brownell 1939.) Flowers are double, hybrid tea form, a translucent 
light crimson-red. We have seen it in bloom, when all other roses, with 
the approach of winter, long since had said their last farewell.

DELICATA. H.Rugosa. (1898.) 3 - 4 feet. 
The large, soft mauve-pink rugosa with the tantalizing fragrance. If you 
are a rugosa "addict'’ and do not grow Delicata, you should. I have 
seen only one that is prettier. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
DUCHESSE de MONTEBELLO. (Gallica.) 3 - 4 feet. 
"A beauty of great distinction,” and a veritable jewel of a rose, resem- 
bling the famous Mme. Hardy in the tight formation of its many petals— 
but in a warm shell-pink. We are reserving our best adjectives for an 
increased supply in 1956. y dosh 
DUCHESS. OF - SUTHERLAND rH:P. 11840.) 
Laffay, France over 100 years ago gave us this big, lush, pale-pink beauty 
—one of the loveliest roses in this catalog or anybody's catalog, old or 
modern. An all-season bloomer. Heretofore this has been confused with 
a hybrid tea given the same name in 1912 and quite similar in color and 
performance. 
Now that’s funny ... the hybrid perpetual survives to appear in this 
catalog, the hybrid tea is forgotten long since. 3 for 4.50 each 1.75
