BARONESS ROTHCHILD. H. Perpetual. (1868.) 4 - 5 feet. 
A strong-growing, completely healthy plant, flowers generously in spring 
and fall—globular, 40 petalled roses of majestic proportions, in the softest 
of pale pink . . . In thinking about this rose, “crushed strawberries and 
cream” again come to mind. And who shall decide which has the greater 
beauty—a “high pointed center’’ or a lovely rounded curve.

BEAUTY OF GLAZENWOOD. Nceisette. (1845.) 15 - 20 feet. 
Also known as Fortune’s Double Yellow, Gold of Ophir and San Rafael 
Rose. Rose G. Kingsley writing from London in 1908, tells the story for us 
—‘That singularly beautiful rose, Beauty of Glazenwood, is classed among the 
Noisettes, though it has nothing but its beauty in common with them. Requires 
a very dry, warm situation, when, if it is never pruned, will flower abundantly.” 
One of the first to bloom in this locality; its brilliant tones of yellow, orange 
and red, fairly shout a spring greeting from many an old cottage, barn 
and fence. Lato 
BELINDA. Hybrid Musk. (1936.) 4 - 6 feet. 
A hedge, background or accent rose of such merit, we are determined 
to make its many virtues better known. The great, erect trusses of fragrant 
soft-pink and rose flowers almost conceal the plant . . . most vigorous 
and healthy ... literally never stops blooming. Take our word for it, 
this is good! 175 
BELLE DES JARDINS. (Gallica.) (1872.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Nature was in a@ gay mood when she created this spring-blooming beauty. 
When half open the outer petals of the large double blooms are silvery 
white, quickly shading to a center of deep magenta—the whole overlaid, 
mottled and striped with plum-purple and lilac tones. “Seeing is be- 
lieving!”’ (Supply limited until 1956) 2.25 
BELLE OF PORTUGAL. Hybrid Gigantea. 20 feet. 
Rampant is the word for the ‘Portuguese Hussy.” Its great canes refuse 
to be confined, and from them hang in great profusion, enormous, semi- 
double, pale-pink blooms of rare beauty, spring only. Not hardy in severe 
climate, completely healthy elsewhere. 1.50 
BESS LOVETT. Large Flowering Climber. 15 feet. 
Among the creations of the American hybridist, Dr. Walter van Fleet to 
whom we are indebted for several of the most beautiful climbing and 
shrub roses in this catalog. Produces over a long spring season, cup- 
formed, fragrant, large double flowers, in a distinctive light-red shade— 
glossy dark and healthy foliage. A very pretty lass is Bess. 2.00
