Copyright 1927, by Bobbink & Atkins Wilhelm Kordes ^){= 7(oses Kings and queens have never received greater homage and attention from the peoples of the world than the Rose. Gold and silver medals, trophies, and other honors have been showered upon the Rose in every country where it grows. Down through all ages it has been known and accepted as the “Queen of Flowers” — adored and loved by all. Its presence is sensed in the garden, and upon all occasions its beauty and fragrance is outstanding. To carry on this great Rose interest, we are now growing Rose plants for every place and purpose, in such quantities as to make them available to anyone desiring to plant them. More than one hundred acres of our Nursery is given up to the cultivation of the Rose. Half a million plants of our own production will be ready for shipment this autumn, with a larger number reserved for filling orders for spring planting. Present and prospective customers need not hesitate to place their orders for their favorites as we have more than seven hundred and fifty kinds, including new and old varieties, of two-year-old, low-budded, field-grown plants, all listed and described in this book of Roses. They have been brought together from every part of the world. Our one great object in doing this is that everybody, everywhere, may have a garden of Roses, planted with varieties suitable for all locations and localities. Comments on the merits and demerits of each variety have been made from observation in our fields, with the thought of helping the buyer in making a perfect selection. Many of the descriptions are those of the hybridizer, the raiser, or introducer, and are generally accepted by rosarians. Our special Rose-plant storage buildings have been constructed, not alone to maintain the plants in perfect condition, but also with the thought of service, and that our Rose patrons may have their orders shipped any- time from October to May. We firmly believe in autumn planting whenever or wherever possible. Our plants are dug in October and November and can be planted at that time in many localities by following our autumn planting suggestions. Intending purchasers will find it advisable to order as soon as possible after receiving this book, for while we have several hundred thousand plants in several hundred varieties, each day the stock of one or more, and some days many, are removed from the list. You are invited to visit our nursery. We shall gladly show you our Rose-plant operations, whatever they may be at the time of visit. y~ CmZLs INSURING ROSE PROSPERITY ‘Hoses hv liohbink & A! kins INSURING ROSE PROSPERITY Location and Soil Select a place for Roses where water does not stand after rains, and which is exposed to full sunshine part of the day. Trees and hedges are advantageous on the north and west sides, but keep away from their hungry roots. The best soil is rich clay loam, but Roses do well in almost any ground if it is well fertilized, drained, and cultivated. strawy manure or leaves held down by netting or branches, should be applied as protection against thaw- ing and winter-heaving. If it is impossible to plant Roses in the fall, they may be bought then and buried deeply in a dry place in the garden until early spring. This insures that the plants will survive the winter and that they will not dry out in storage cellars. It is important to dig them early and plant them in the spring. Preparation Prepare the ground for Roses some weeks in advance of planting to have it firmly settled. Dig it 18 inches deep at least, replacing about one- third its bulk with well-rotted cow-manure. If this is unobtainable, use a lesser quantity of other manures or apply commercial fertilizers, obtainable at local seed stores, as directed on the packages. If the only available site is damp or soggy all the time, drain it. Tile-drains are best, but cobble-stones, laid in ditches along the beds to an outlet at a lower level, will answer just as well. Fertilizers Use them liberally. Roses are hungry things. Cow- manure is best, and it is almost impossible to use too much of it. Light strawy manure is good on very heavy soils, but something more solid should be used on sandy or fluffy ground. A mixture of two parts bone-meal and one part com- mercial sheep-manure is good, and best used when planting. Work a trowelful around each plant as it is set, but do not put it in contact with the roots. Liquid manure, made from soaking animal manure or commercial sheep-manure in water, is excellent to apply at the rate of a half gallon to each plant every two weeks after they are growing well. Selecting Varieties See What Roses to Plant, page 3. Buying Roses Order early. The best plants invariably go out on the early orders, and many of the choicest sorts are in such demand that the stocks are exhausted long before the planting season opens. Buy Roses in quantities of one kind. We make price concessions on numbers of one variety, and the Rose-garden of relatively few varieties is more uniformly satisfactory than a spotty collection of many different sorts. Three to five plants of a kind are really the least that should be grown. Autumn Planting More people are buying and planting Roses in the fall every year. Usually the weather is fine for outdoor work, the plants are freshly dug and get a chance to establish themselves in their new quarters, ready to grow when spring arrives. Autumn -planted Roses should be well mounded with earth, and, when it has frozen, a covering of Bundle of Roses as usually 2 received from the nursery Spring Planting By far the larger number of growers plant Roses in the spring. It should be done early, and we urge that the plants be ordered in midwinter, to be shipped at the earliest favorable time. Late Spring Planting For those who cannot plant early, we keep a limited supply of the best varieties in pots. These are the same, field-grown, budded Roses that we supply on other orders, but they are potted in the autumn and kept in coldframes over winter. These potted plants are useful not only for late garden-makers, but also for replace- ments or extensions to established gardens. Planting Open the packages of Roses as soon as they arrive, and plant them at once. Delay is dangerous. If it is impossible to plant them, bury the roots in a shallow trench and cover the tops with boards or burlap. Keep the roots covered always to prevent drying out. Examine each plant and cut off broken or bruised roots and branches. Then cut away all but three or four of the best stems, and shorten them to about 6 inches long. Make a hole in the prepared bed, rather broader than deep, so that the roots may spread out naturally in a rather horizontal position. Set the plant so that the junction of the root and top will be just under the sur- face of the ground when it is leveled off. Work fine soil among the rootlets, tamping it firmly with fingers and fist, and when all the roots are covered tramp it solid. If the ground is at all dry, fill up the remaining space with water and let it drain away before putting back the rest of the soil. When the whole bed is planted, rake it smooth, and should dry weather ensue, soak the ground with water frequently. Plant the Roses 12 to 15 inches apart each way, depending upon their size. This is plenty of room for most Hybrid Teas, but a few of the more vigorous may require to 2 feet. Hybrid Perpetuals need 2 Yi to 3 feet each way, and Climbers, if planted in a line, need about 6 feet. Cultivation Roses must be firmly anchored in the ground at all times, but cultivate the top 2 inches of the bed every week. Water thoroughly if the weather is dry, and do it by letting the water run from the hose for an hour or so over the bed. Sprinkling is worse than useless. The labor of cultivation and watering can be allevi- ated by covering the Rose-bed about June 1 with a 2- inch mulch of grass-clippings, peat-moss, or some other suitable material. Feeding Use manure liberally in preparing the beds, and if especially fine bloom is wanted, give the plants frequent Rutherford, Mew Jersey INSURING ROSE PROSPERITY stimulants made by steeping either natural or com- mercial manure in water. Strong plants can assimilate more of this material than weak ones, and should be more liberally fed. For ordinary purposes, a trowelful of bone-meal and another of sheep-manure worked about each plant twice each season will give satisfactory results. Pests Cover the plants every two weeks with a dust made from nine parts dusting sulphur and one part arsenate of lead. Do this whether any disease is apparent or not. It will prevent both mildew and black-spot, either of which is difficult to eradicate when started. Spraying with a solution of Black-Leaf 40 will destroy the green plant-lice when they appear. Protection If the climate is severe. Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses should be hilled up with earth late in autumn, and when the ground is frozen, protected from thawing by ever- green boughs, leaves, or some other loose material. Do not cover the beds with wet, soggy manure, or smother the plants with a too dense covering. Keep the beds dry and shaded from the winter sun. Cutting Roses Usually people want to cut the flowers for indoor decoration or to give away. For this purpose, choose half-open buds, cut them with long stems, leaving two leaves on the original branch, and place them in water in the dark for an hour before exposing them to warm rooms or strong light. Late afternoon and early morn- ing are the best times to cut Roses. Other folks prefer to have a continuous display of Roses in the garden. For this purpose it is better not to cut the withered flowers with long stems, but merely to pinch off the seed-pods. American Rose Society This is an organization of 5,000 Rose-growers all over the world. Anyone who likes Roses or who grows them ought to belong. Join it, read its Annuals, and talk with the Rose-people it puts you in touch with. Rose-Growing by Pictures We have tried to demonstrate the major processes of Rose-growing with the thumb sketches and brief texts scattered in the margins of this book. A close study of these little pictures will assist many puzzled Rose- growers with their problems. WHAT ROSES TO PLANT Personal taste is the guide in planting Roses, but it is influenced by climate and local conditions. Roses do not thrive equally well in different regions. Tender kinds cannot endure northern winters without protection, and very hardy sorts are not always happy in the South. Nevertheless, the popular Hybrid Teas and Hardy Climbers are successful almost everywhere. The Everblooming Roses include Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses. They give beautiful flowers over the long- est season, in the complete gamut of color known in the Rose. Most of them are fragrant. They are not relia- bly hardy all over the United States, but if protected as recommended in this catalogue, they can be grown anywhere on the continent. The Chinas, Bourbons and Polyanthas are also everblooming but their flowers have less quality and in general they are suited only for garden decoration. Polyantha Roses might well be included with the Everbloomers, because they are constantly in flower all through the growing season. They are characterized by dwarf and compact habit and clustered flowers, in a wide range of color. They are best planted in front of other Everblooming Roses or Hybrid Perpetuals. Hybrid Perpetual Roses are taller and much hardier, but need some protection in very severe climates. Their flowers are of enomous size, and most brilliant, and have the sweetest fragrance. They bloom in early summer, and sparsely in the fall, but a few varieties are continuous under good culture. Hardy Climbing Roses. The list here presented, much the longest published anywhere in America, provides a wide range of most beautiful flowers, borne usually in one great burst in early summer. The plants are splendidly vigorous and can be used to cover gate- ways, porches, fences, pergolas, hedges, and trellises, to trail over banks, or as beautiful pillars in the garden. With a little training, they make admirable bushes in the shrubbery. F or the most part they bloom but once, but at that time justify themselves as fully as any lilac or spirea. Other Climbing Roses include the climbing sports of the Hybrid Teas and similar forms. They are not quite so hardy as those above mentioned and do not provide the same wonderful burst of bloom in June, but do bloom recurrently through the season. In suitable localities these Roses are of great value and beauty. Austrian Brier Roses include several sorts of great hardiness, excellence, and unique beauty. . These are taller in growth and require careful consideration in placing them. Rugosa Roses and their hybrids have distinct and beautiful foliage, with flowers of a wide variety of beauty and fragrance, freely produced in early summer, and later, on plants of most rampant vigor but not of climbing habit. They make good defensive hedges, and may be trained to novel forms, but require more room and height than other Roses mentioned. Hybrid Sweetbriers include improvements on the famous old Eglantine of Shakespeare. They are covered in early summer with a mass of exquisite single or semi- double blossoms and are useful as bold and broad objects in the shrubbery. Miscellaneous Roses include some of the oldest forms known to cultivation, among the Damask, French, Prov- ence, Cabbage, and Moss types. These Roses also are generally best in shrubbery relationships, or as borders, or in beds m large Rose-gar- dens, or for particular pur- poses in the gardens of those who know them. They arev~ \ for the most part completely ^ hardy. The Wild Roses or Rose Species are the natural American, European, Chi- nese, and Japanese forms of the Rose, which have per- sisted for many centuries. All of them are beautiful, some are unique, and all may be placed advantageously in parks, in large shrubbery borders, or on large grounds where room can be given. A good Rose as received. The black ZmelHF* shows where to prune before planting NOVELTIES AND SCARCE ROSES, SEASON 1927-1928 ONLY dead men lose interest in novelties. The rest of us are eager for new and unusual things. Here is a group of new Roses gathered from all over the earth, some of which may be improve- ments upon older sorts, but all of which will provide the thrill of adventure and experiment. For the most part, the descriptions are those of the introducers, to which we have added our ob- servation. These Roses are $2.50 each, except where otherwise noted AVALANCHE. HT. (Lippiatt, 1922.) Very vigorous grower. Pale creamy white with deeper center. Excellent. Very large. We find the flowers very well formed, and excellent in size and texture. CAPTAIN F.S. HARVEY CANT. HT. (Frank Cant & Co., 1923.) Rich salmon-pink faintly veined with scarlet and suffused with yellow. Flowers large, of fine form and great substance, with high-pointed center. Vigorous grower. Very handsome blooms, perhaps a little heavy for garden use, but gorgeous for cutting. We would call it pale pink rather than salmon. COURAGE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1923.) Long buds and very large pointed blooms of brilliant maroon, of notable substance and fragrance. Moder- ate bushy growth and continuous bloom. Reported abroad to equal in flower and fra- grance the finest H.P. with H.T. freedom and growth. Here it looks good. A fine rich scarlet- red with round, smooth petals. DAINTY. HT. (Hugh Dickson, Ltd., 1921.) Long, pointed buds and exquisitely formed flowers of rosy apricot, very heavily flamed and tinted cherry-pink, with deep pink at the edges. Moderately fragrant, very free flowering and moderately vigorous. We have found the color charming, but delicate, and the plants have made no record for blooming. ELVIRA ARAMAYO. P. (P. JJLooymans & Sons, 1922.) Slender scarlet buds and semi-double flowers of reddish copper and unique cactus form. Slightly fragrant, and profusely produced. A vigorous up- right plant. An unusual variety. People differ as to the quality of the blooms, which resemble cactus dahlias or huge carnations. It is especially fine in masses, for its brilliant color and profusion of bloom. GOOILAND BEAUTY. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1924.) Clear golden orange, semi-double flowers continuously in bloom. Glossy dark green foliage. Very similar to Independence Day at first, but fades less than that variety in general. It is practically single and blooms with great freedom in hottest weather. "TPiT/ie same Rose properly pruned, and planted HENRY FORD. HT. (Harry Deverman; introduced by Bobbink & Atkins, 1927.) Medium-sized buds and flowers of very lasting yellow, edged in the early stages with salmon-orange, becoming lemon - yellow as they open. They are slightly fragrant and borne in sprays and clusters of great decorative value. The plant is bushy and rather tall, blooming constantly in great abundance. Reported to us as a seedling of Mme. Edouard Herriot X Golden Emblem, but it looks much more like a sport of Independence Day. It has a wonderful decorative value for the garden, and makes beautiful informal bouquets. Illus- trated in color on facing page. $1.50 each. HERA. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1924.) Pointed buds and glowing, brilliant carmine, medium-sized flowers, shaded with blood-red, borne one to three on a stem. Growth strong and erect, foliage dark green and not liable to mildew. A very well-formed flower of the Laurent Carle type but not so large. It is extremely fragrant with the rich scent of old-time Roses. The color is best in cool weather. HOLT HEWITT. HT. (G. Beckwith & Son, 1925.) Well-shaped bud carried erect and opening into a large fine flower of perfect form. Dark velvety crimson, flushed scarlet at the edge of petals and veined scarlet. Very free flowering; sweetly scented. We have been strongly impressed by its great beauty of form and rich color. HUGUETTE VINCENT. HT. (C. Chambard, 1922.) Pointed buds. Geranium-red flowers shaded ver- milion, produced freely on stiff stems. Vigorous, upright growth. Time after time this Rose has attracted our attention across the fields because of its peculi- arly vivid color. The shade is something like that of George C. Waud but it is not as double and seems to be more floriferous than that variety. IVY MAY. HT. (G. Beckwith & Son, 1925.) Charm- ing long buds, opening to well-shaped fairly double flowers of pretty rose-pink running to amber at base of petals, flushed with gold on the outside of petals and a£ the edges. The color glows and sparkles and does not fade. Very free flowering; sweetly scented. Fine habit. We have found it much like Ophelia and Mme. Butterfly. Perhaps it grows and blooms a little better. 4 Henry Ford Elsie Beckwith Etoile de Hollande NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES ^atheriord, J/ewJerse]i LADY INCHIQUIN. HT. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, Ltd., 1922.) Vigorous grower. Orange-cerise flowers, large, full, and perfect in shape. A rose of marvelous beauty and distinctness, valuable alike for cutting as well as for garden purposes. Free flowering. Wherever exhibited abroad it has created a sensation. Here we find the color less vivid than we expected, but the flowers are prettily frilled, and hold up well in hot weather. It has more substance and brighter tints in cool periods and may be of considerable value. LESLIE PIDGEON. HT. (Hugh Dickson, 1922.) Orange-buff, heavily flushed and suffused -with terra- cotta, half -full flowers; an attractive garden variety. Here, it is creamy yellow most of the time, slightly greenish at base of petals, and seems to be a delightfully informal flower suitable for decorative purposes. MARY MERRYWEATHER. HT. (H. Merryweather, 1924. ) The gorgeous golden yellow flower is finely shaped, with long petals, and every bloom is borne straight and erect. The wonderful growth and habit produce a vigorous and well-shaped bush. The individual stems are long, and therefore most useful for cutting, while the foliage varies from a good hard green to a most delightful shade of red at the ends of the shoots. With us not unlike Lady Hillingdon although generally lighter. The buds are especially fine and have excellent texture although the open flower is a little flimsy. MEVROUW L. C. VAN GENDT. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1925.) Pointed buds. Salmon to apricot flowers on a pink and yellow ground, large and full, somewhat cupped, carried erect on strong stems bearing 2 to 5 flowers. Opens easily, lasts long, and keeps its color well. Growth strong, with dark bronzy foliage; is not subject to any disease and flowers continuously. A descendant of Golden Emblem, recom- mended by the introducers for bedding and garden decoration. MRS. A. R. BARRACLOUGH. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1926.) Very large conical buds and enormous pure pink flowers shaded with clear light yellow at base of petals. Very beautifully formed and un- usually fragrant. The stems are long and slender, the plant unusually vigorous and blooms very freely. We expect this to become known as one of the finest new Roses. If it continues to be as good as it has begun, a place will have to be made for it in every garden. It is especially note- worthy for large size, good color and shape, very vigorous growth, and splendid blooming qualities. MRS. HERBERT NASH. HT. (Chaplin Bros., Ltd., 1925. ) Vigorous grower. A well-formed scarlet- crimson flower, overlaid and shaded deep crimson, with good depth of petal. A wonderful grower, making shoots 3 feet long and every shoot bearing flowers of good size for cutting. Very sweetly scented. Very bright color and quite double. It should be well tested, for the list of really good red Roses is pitifully short. MRS. J. HEATH. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1924.) Red-orange in the bud, shading to yellow at edge of petals and center of flower, which is cadmium-yellow when fully expanded. It is large and full. The plant is free-flowering and vigorous. We have seen none of the striking colors as- cribed to this Rose. Here it is much like Ophelia, perhaps larger generally, and usually much the same color. When the weather is favorable, orange tints develop which are very attractive. This Rose has a great reputation and we advise our friends to try it out thoroughly. MRS. WM. SARGENT. (Hugh Dickson, Ltd., 1923.) Apricot and peach, very heavily flushed and penciled with rose-pink toward the edge of the petals, which are nicely reflexed. Flowers very large, full, well formed. A vigorous garden Rose and useful for cutting. This Rose has been much like Souvenir de La Malmaison, showing apricot tints under favorable conditions. Its unusual old-fashioned shape is very attractive in a modern Rose. PHILOMENE POLLAERT. HT. (L. H. Pollaert, 1925.) The flowers are beautiful crimson with orange tints, of good size, full and well formed. Growth is vigorous and free, with leather-like foliage, free from disease. Very sweetly scented. It has received two certificates of merit, and is very highly spoken of by leading Rose-growers. Said to be a seedling of General MacArthur X Old Gold. It seems much like a dark pink Tea Rose, and we believe it will be especially welcomed in the Southern States, where Tea Roses and Tea-like Hybrid Teas do best. PRESIDENT F. A. DES TOMBE. Per. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1925.) Flower golden yellow, heavily shaded and suffused with dark apricot, reverse of petals veined and shaded with peach color, large and quite full, opening freely even in dull weather, and borne erect on strong stems; very sweetly scented. Growth vigorous and erect; foliage dark glossy green. A seedling of Golden Emblem X Mr. Joh. M. Jolles. Soft salmon-pink most of the time, but the golden tints are prominent when the weather is favorable. We rather like this Rose for the excellent substance of its petals and charming color. REIMS. HT. (Barbier & Co., 1923.) Long bud of nice form, opening to a fine full flower. Back of petals flesh-pink, inside bright nankin-yellow, apricot- orange and copper-pink — a very beautiful coloring. Vigorous and very free flowering. A variety which has tantalized us several years because of its changeableness in different seasons and localities. The flowers are supremely beautiful and all real Rose enthusiasts will want to have them, for very beautiful Roses are always worth special care to overcome the deficiencies of the plant. //[ L 5 Planted wrong, too deep NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES SUQSeS hy Bobhmk fjAtkins SOUVENIR DE MME. H. THURET. HT. (Texier, 1922.) Buds ovoid, perfectly formed, opening to flowers of tender salmon-pink, center shrimp-red, with chrome-yellow stamens. Large, persistent foliage. A descendant of Frau Karl Druschki X Lyon Rose. A very beautiful flower of the Druschki type with almost the same color as Willowmere. It is fragrant. The plant has the same manner of growth and blooming as Druschki and we think very highly of it. SOUVENIR DU SERGENT CRETTE. HT. (Cham- bard, 1922.) Cupped coppery yellow flowers, suf- fused with carmine. Large; vigorous grower. More salmon than yellow here but very at- tractive in bud and flower. Growth is moderate, and we rather like it. WILHELM KORDES. HT. (W. Hordes Sohne, 1922.) Long, pointed buds and double, high-centered flowers of deep golden salmon, overspread with a tint of copper, and veined with red. Very fragrant and un- usually free flowering. Vigorous, compact growth. One of the most marvelously colored Roses of recent years — almost any color description would suit it at one time or another, but it is always bright and distinct. The flower also has sub- stance and real beauty of form, a quality rare in Roses of this general type. The blooms are a trifle smaller than usual in hot weather but the color holds well. The early flowers and those pro- duced in autumn are magnificent. The foliage is strong, leather-like and very resistant to mildew and black-spot. See colored illustration facing page 1. NEW ROSES, SEASON 1926-1927 These Roses are $1.50 each, except where otherwise noted ADMIRATION. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) Pointed buds of salmon-rose, and large, high-centered blooms of cream-white, heavily shaded with light orange- vermilion. Fragrant and fairly free flowering. A vigorous, healthy plant. The color reminds one of the autumn shade of Gruss an Aachen, but in hot weather it is likely to be pretty pale. BEDFORD CRIMSON. HT. (Laxton Bros., 1927.) Massive pointed buds of blackish crimson, opening to exceedingly double blooms of good shape and in- tensely rich fragrance. Blooms liberally and grows a little better than the average. A surprisingly good very double scarlet-crimson flower with a color approximating Red-Letter Day. The fragrance is especially fine. $2 each. BESSIE CHAPLIN. HT. (Chaplin Bros., 1921.) Large, globular buds and flowers of clear, bright pink, shaded darker at the base of the petals. A giant exhibition variety of great freedom of growth. The flowers are of remarkable size, and the color is clear and handsome. It seems to be highly desirable as reported from abroad. $2 each. CAPTAIN RONALD CLERK. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1923.) Tapering, scarlet buds, opening to nearly single flowers of vivid scarlet-orange, wdth yellow at the base of the sharply reflexing petals. Fragrant, free flowering, vigorous and bushy. An astonishingly strong color which is very distinct and scarcely ever fades, combining hues of The Queen Alexandra Rose and Padre. It belongs to the new group of cactus-type Roses of which Elvira Aramayo is the type, the petals being curled back sharply throughout their length, forming tube-like rays in the manner of cactus '^dPlanted wrong — not deep enough 6 dahlias. We consider this one of the showiest of the more recent decorative varieties. See illustration facing page 32. $2 each. CLARA CURTIS. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1922.) Large, ovoid buds of golden yellow streaked crimson. Flowers are double, high-centered, fragrant, and per- fectly imbricated. Bushy plants of moderate growth. The originators say this is the best yellow Rose ever put on the market, comparable to Marechal Niel in color and perfume. Worth taking a chance on if it is only half as good as they say it is. CUBA. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1927.) Vivid orange- scarlet buds opening to immense cup-like flowers of iridescent copper-red and brilliant orange- vermilion. Extremely free flowering and a vigorous, erect grower. At first glance another Padre, but while it is almost exactly the same color, the flowers are larger, as a rule, but have fewer petals. The growth is also similar but possibly more vigorous. DAME EDITH HELEN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1926.) Shapely buds and substantial, high-centered blooms of clear pink, sweetly scented and freely produced on long, strong stems. Vigorous. Most remarkable for the number and beautiful arrangement of its petals, and its color is always good. It is a trifle shy in bloom in midsummer but most distinct and really magnificent. $2 each. ELSIE BECKWITH. HT. (G. Beckwith & Son, 1922.) Beautifully pointed buds and rich deep glowing rosy pink blooms carried rigidly upright, with large bold petals of fine substance. Vigorous grower, with foliage of unusual resistance to disease. It produces superb flowers for cutting. The texture of the petals is so firm that the blooms endure both heat and wet in the garden and last like iron when cut. We like it very much and recommend it highly. See illustration facing page 5. $1.50 each. Rutherford, Jfew Jersey S FLORENCE L. IZZARD. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1923. ) Graceful, urn-like buds of deepest yellow, opening to moderately large, high-centered flowers of good substance and fine fragrance. Plant is moder- ately vigorous and free flowering. Foliage is good. This variety has been exceedingly hard to obtain. It is undeniably one of the handsomest yellow Roses we have ever seen, but we are not entirely convinced of its vigor and floriferousness, although old, established plants are said to be superb. $2 each. FRANK READER. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1927.) Long buds and beautifully pointed blooms of pale yellow, showing a center of rich apricot when fully open. Sweetly scented and borne on excellent stems. Plant rather tall and vigorous. The flower is almost exactly like Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren in color, paling as it ages until it is nearly white. FRAU FELIX TONNAR. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1924. ) Very large, tapering buds, opening to bright rose, semi-double blooms of substantial size, heavily shaded with orange and copper at the base of the petals. Very fragrant. Plant is vigorously bushy and profuse in bloom. A descendant of the remarkably beautiful Mme. Melanie Soupert. less vigorous, more prolific, and of different color. HORTULANUS BUDDE. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Dark red buds opening to orange- scarlet flowers, yellow in center. The fragrant blooms are produced in great profusion on a vigorous plant. We have found it a fine bedding Rose because of its excellent low, bushy growth and freedom of bloom. The flowers are much like those of Paul’s Scarlet Climber and do not blue offensively as so many red Roses do. We believe it will be very effective for garden decoration if massed in places where a continuous display of bright color is wanted. $1.50 each. INNOCENCE. HT. (Chaplin Bros., 1921.) Tapering, urn-shaped buds, opening to enormous, single, pure white blooms adorned with a giant center of wine- red stamens tipped with golden anthers. The plant is strong, branching, and healthy, flowering freely. A marvelously handsome single Rose like a tremendous Japanese anemone. Even Rose- lovers who have little regard for single Roses have become enthusiastic over Innocence, com- paring it very favorably with the exquisite beauty of Mermaid, whose slight tenderness to cold puts it to disadvantage in comparison with a hardy Rose like Innocence. $2 each. Illustrated in color facing page 9. JAMES WALLEY. HT. (W. Easlea & Sons, 1923.) Large, pointed buds of rich orange-gold, shaded crimson, and fell, moderately fragrant flowers of apricot and fiery salmon. Growth vigorous, upright, with good foliage and red stems. A seedling from Ophelia, with a lovely peach- yellow color and very beautiful form. NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES JOHN RUSSELL. HT. (Dobbie & Co., Ltd., 1924.) Large ovoid buds and immense crimson flowers of the old-time globular type with the famous exhibition center. Plant exceptionally strong and vigorous. Surely it is one of the handsomest red Roses, and creates a stir wherever it is seen. Everyone will want it for its splendid color and form. B- lustrated in color facing page 21. LADY ANDERSON. HT. (Dr. Campbell Hall, 1920.) Very fine buds of glowing salmon and coral, opening to enormous solid flowers with thick, overlapping petals tinted with gold and flesh-pink. Tea perfume. Stiff stems, good foliage and growth. We like this Rose especially for its resistance to heat. While it balled a little, and the color was paler than at favorable seasons, the flowers in the hottest weather lasted well. LADY DIXON-HARTLAND. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1923.) Buds pointed; flowers large, rich salmon- pink, with lighter edges, and suffused throughout with orange-yellow; very fragrant. A vigorous grower and a prolific bloomer, especially in autumn. Not so double as we would like it and grows indifferently but the flowers are delightfully shaped and colored. LADY FLORENCE STRONGE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1925.) Long, yellowish pink buds and full, well-formed flowers of pale flesh, deepening to pink and gold at base of petals. Free flowering and quite vigorous. The remarkable coloring promised by the originators — reddish prawn shading to violet- rose and washed with gold — has not appeared, although its tints are deeper and brighter in cool weather. LADY MARGARET STEWART. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1926.) A large exhibition bloom with enormous petals. It is of perfect form, with a high-pointed center, golden -yellow, shaded and streaked with orange and red. Not very fragrant. Especially handsome foliage free from disease. A gorgeous new Rose of the most satisfying richness of color. It has won only good opinions from all who have grown it, and we believe it will become very popular. $2 each. LADYVEREY. HT. (E. J. Hicks, 1922.) Long, taper- ing buds of rich shell-pink, opening to rose-pink flowers which are rather thin. Of moderate growth. The color and shape are attractive, and its blooming propensities give it value for bedding. Although somewhat prejudiced against new pink Roses, we have to credit this one with charm enough to justify it in anybody’s garden. LORD ALLENBY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1923.) Ovoid buds and fine, massive, high-centered blooms, opening slowly to true globular form. Bright crimson with both dark and lighter shades and no fragrance. Dwarf, sturdy growth and foliage of fair quality. A handsome new red Rose of real quality, and it blooms very freely. In hot weather many flow- ers have frilled and silvery edges which give it a most distinct appearance. 7 NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES OSes hji Bohhink fjAthjns LORD LAMBOURNE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son 1925.) Big, globular orange and scarlet buds opening to large, beautifully shaped flowers of deep rich yel- low, each petal edged with bright rose-scarlet. Free flowering; strong, upright growth. A very striking novelty of the Sunstar type and, like it, rather shy of petals. The buds and half-opened flowers are glorious, especially in cool weather when the colors fade less. MABEL PRENTICE. HT. (W. E. Lippiatt, 1923.) Orange-pink buds and very large flowers, showing tones of copper, orange, and yellow, opening clear rose-pink. Vigorous and free flowering. A Rose from New Zealand which is scarcely established here as yet. The growth, so far, has been below standard, but the flowers seem to hold up well in hot weather. MABEL TURNER. HT. (Hugh Dickson, 1923.) Long, pointed buds and conical flowers with high centers and very large, deep petals which are blush- white on inner surface and rosy carmine on outside; faintly perfumed. Moderately vigorous. Color is similar to La France. A good Rose of the rather ordinary type which may develop qualities to assure it a permanent place. MATCHLESS. HT. (Duckham-Pierson Co., 1925.) Bud very large, long-pointed. The deep cerise-pink flower is immense, very double, with intensely strong fragrance, lasting well, and comes singly on long, strong stem. Foliage abundant and large. Growth vigorously bushy. A new sport of Premier which we hope will do better in the garden than that famous old variety. Now being raised in large quantities by florists for cut-flowers. MAUD CUMING. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1923.) Long, tapering buds and double, globular flowers of peach-pink with coral shadings and strong orange veins; only slightly fragrant. An abundant bloomer of vigorous, bushy growth, with healthy foliage. So far, it has made a good impression here. Its unusual and variable color and fine form promise much for the future. MME. ALEXANDRE DREUX. HT. (Soupert & Not ting, 1921.) Intensely yellow bud, opening to a smallish, high-centered flower with sharply reflexed petals of deep yellow splashed with orange. Plant is moderately vigorous, wiry; fairly free flowering. A flower of unique color and great beauty of form. We are more impressed now with this Rose than in early trials. The growth is fairly good and it is worth serious consideration. MRS. C. W. EDWARDS. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1924.) Pointed buds and vivid, dark rose blooms of moderate size with a brilliant golden suf- fusion in the high-pointed center, giving a distinct coppery red effect. Strong, bushy, and healthy. A Rose that has been extravagantly praised abroad and about which we have been very curious. It seems very promising, especially as a cut Rose, because of its good stems and unusual color effect. MRS. ERSKINE PEMBROKE-THOM. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1926.) Slender yellow buds and large, well- shaped blooms of bright canary-yellow, deepest in center. The plant is of exceptional vigor and blooms very freely. A satisfactory new Rose of the Souvenir de Claudius Pernet type, but its bright yellow color does not fade, and it has a good clean center. $2 each. MRS. HENRY BOWLES. HT. (Chaplin Bros., 1921.) Ovoid buds and globular flowers of clear, piercing pink with lighter shades. A fine firm center, well held, and fairly fragrant. Vigorous and free flowering. We think it is one of the very best new pink Roses of good clear color, willingness to bloom, and of especially fine form. We like it. MRS. T. J. ENGLISH. HT. (T. J. English & Son, 1922.) Apricot and amber flowers, with petals curled and reflexed, showing salmon veins; fragrant. Stems long and stiff. Plant vigorous, with heavy foliage. An almost unknown variety which seems to be a bedding Rose of high quality. PINK BEAUTY. HT. (J. Cook, 1919.) The long- pointed flowers are large, clear pink, fragrant, and very lasting. A strong, vigorous-growing, hardy plant with thick foliage: very free-blooming. The shape of the bloom is much like Radiance — if anything, it is larger. Its freedom of bloom is remarkable and its compact, healthy habit is especially commendable. PRINCESS GHIKA. T. (P. Nabonnand, 1921.) Large, full flowers of elegant form, brilliant red with dark reflexes. Continuous blooming. This Rose is attractive for its graceful form, although its flowers have not been of more than ordinary size. It deserves thorough testing because a good red Tea Rose is badly needed. REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Copper-red buds of great length, opening to golden yellow blooms stained outside with red, fully double (40 to 50 petals), and very large; fragrant. Strong, branching plant with healthy foliage. A supremely gorgeous Rose, developing to surpassing magnificence of size, color, and fra- grance in the cool weeks of autumn. A glorified Duchess of Wellington, with more petals, better shape, and deeper, richer color. We believe it will attain the popularity it really deserves. It is not always at its best in hot weather but its superb flowers in autumn more than compensate. Last year, in the middle of October, we observed flowers like Marechal Niel in size but on good stems. Splendid foliage. $2 each. See illustra- tion on facing page. RICHARD E. WEST. HT. (A. Dickson & Son, 1924.) Large ovoid buds and cupped, symmetrical flowers of light yellow, paling to lemon and lighter yellow; fragrant. Plant vigorous and free flowering. A good garden variety with flowers of an ex- quisitely delicate shade of yellow and beauti- fully rounded. $2 each. 8 Rev. F. Page-Roberts Innocence The finest white Rose of the group of single Hybrid Teas ^uther^rd, ^NewJerseji novelties and new roses ROSABEL WALKER. HT. (F. Cant & Co., 1922.) Long, tapered buds and very double, flat flowers of brilliant velvety crimson; moderate perfume. Very vigorous growth, free flowering, and healthy. A good decorative variety for the garden, especially in early summer. It is very tall-grow- ing and should be most sparingly pruned. Ap- parently it has strong kinship with HP’s and possibly should be classed with them. < The very vivid color is close to that of Red Letter Day. $2 each. ROSELANDIA. HT. (W. Stevens, Ltd., 1924.) Typical Ophelia buds and blooms of rich golden yellow, fragrant and free flowering. Excellent foliage and habit. A fine new yellow Rose and it is a vast improve- ment on the original Golden Ophelia, being much larger in flower and deeper in color. This seems to be the best of a long series of yellow descend- ants of the famous Ophelia. See illustration, in color, facing page 17. ROSETTE DELIZY. T. (P. Nabonnand, 1921.) Small, slender buds and firm, high-centered flowers of heavy texture, pale yellowish pink with rosy outer petals. Free flowering and vigorous. Apparently a new Tea of excellent habit. In growth and form it greatly resembles Mrs. B. R. Cant, but much lighter and not so blotchy. SOUVENIR DEF.BOHE. HT. (C. Chambard, 1922.) Globular buds and flowers of very large size and intense orange-salmon; moderately fragrant. Vigor- ous, but not immune to mildew. A flower of astonishing beauty but nothing like the originator’s description. With us the very large, fairly double flowers are beautifully frilled and fluted, each petal white at base shading to pale pink, with a distinctly darker edge. The center is a remarkable sunburst of stamens with dark filaments. Very fine growth and a free bloomer. We like it very much. SOUVENIR DE FRANCOIS MERCIER. HT. (La- perriere, 1922.) Pointed buds, and large, flat, double flowers with overlapping petals of light coppery rose edged with a darker tone. Vigorous and upright. A sport from Antoine Rivoire with the color of Mme. Butterfly, but otherwise very similar, with the same lovely imbricated form. SOYECOURT. HT. (Jersey Nurseries, 1921.) Blood- red, overlaid orange-vermilion. Vigorous growth, flowering continuously. Rather small flowers of no particular shape but freely produced in hot weather. It seems to be very distinct, and a desirable novelty for garden color. SYBIL. HT. (Bees, Ltd., 1921.) Tapering buds and blooms of immense size, with heavy petals of silvery salmon shaded rose and orange, reflexed from an extremely high center. Plant moderately vigorous. An attractive double flower which ought to be- come well known as a good, all-round Rose. The color is especially clear and attractive. TEMPLAR. HT. (A. Montgomery Co., 1924.) Smooth, urn-shaped buds and globular, very full crimson flowers and very fragrant. Growth erect and vigorous; a moderate bloomer and quite healthy. This is a florists’ Rose which has done well in the garden. The early and autumn blooms are superb Blooms sparingly in summer and the flowers are often discolored. Especially hand- some form and exquisite fragrance. TIM PAGE. HT. (Courtney Page, 1920.) Clusters of medium-sized flowers of pure daffodil-yellow which fades veryhttle. Erect, vigorous, with glossy foliage. We found it to be hardier and a better grower than Golden Emblem, and believe each variety will prove of merit for certain localities. The early flowers are invariably superb and arouse tremendous enthusiasm. $2 each. VESUVIUS. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1923.) Long, tapering buds opening to very large, single flowers of dark, velvety crimson. It is moderately fragrant and flowers with especial freedom in the fall. A single Rose remarkable for the rich, dark color so rare in that type. Belongs to same group as the Single Roses on page 36. VICTOR WADDILOVE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1925.) Good-looking buds and full, pointed blooms of carmine-pink with a yellow suffusion, moderately fragrant and freely produced. Plant and foliage especially handsome and vigorous. A good new garden Rose of no special novelty in color, but of good shape and substance for cutting or bedding. VILLE DE PARIS. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) Round buds of clear yellow and big globular flowers of the same hue, untouched by any other color. Plant is notably tall and wiry and the foliage, dark, small, and very leathery. This is one of the really distinct breaks in the new yellow Roses. In form the bloom is much like Radiance. The growth is unusually wiry and pliant for a yellow Rose. We think it has a future. $2 each. WALTHAM FLAME. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1921.) Rich terra-cotta flowers, shaded with bronzy orange. Free flowering and re- commended for bedding. The single flow- ers have a very distinct and at- tractive color but they are small. Evidently a Rose for bedding and edging shrub- beries. Belongs to the same group as Single Roses listed on page 36; equally attractive. Correct autumn planting — prunedWGt hilled up, and covered for winter. NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES novelties and new roses NEW CLIMBING ROSES The best recent Novelties from home and abroad are included in this section. We believe all of them are different from varieties in commerce and deserve serious trial in American gardens. These plants are $1.50 each BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. HW. (Capt. Thomas, 1925.) Small, dark velvety red flowers, with white centers and prominent yellow stamens, produced in good-sized clusters along the entire branch. Very free-flowering habit and very hardy. Vigorous grower; dark green, healthy foliage. The flowers are as dark or darker than those of the famous Dr. Huey, but single and much smaller, almost like a clematis. It is entirely distinct from any other Rose in its open, graceful clusters. We like it. $2 each. CASCADIA. H.Ev.-Bl.,Cl. (Capt. Thomas, 1925; introduced by Bobbink & Atkins, 1927.) Small, semi-double flowers of blush-pink, paling to white, borne in heads like phlox. A pillar Rose growing 6 feet or more. Slightly fragrant. Continuous bloomer. Received gold medals from the city of Portland and the American Rose Society for its distinctive quality of blooming. $2 each. CLEMATIS. HW. (E. Turbat & Cie., 1925.) Small, single, dark red flowers, with gracefully pointed petals and large white eyes, borne with profusion in clusters of 40 to 50 on a very vigorous climbing plant. The flowers last a long time and the plant seems extraor- dinarily healthy. This variety strongly reminds us of Captain Thomas’ fine climber, Bloomfield Courage. Its profusion of bloom has caused it to be likened to a deep red clematis. COMTESSE PROZOR. H.Gig. (P. Nabonnand, 1921.) Very large-pointed buds and enormous saucer- like flowers of rich chrome-yellow, with a creamy undertone. A strong, robust climber. This is the first of Nabonnand’s new Hybrid Giganteas to get into American commerce. We cannot guarantee that Comtesse Prozor will be entirely hardy, but M. Nabonnand says that young plants bloom only once a year but that when they are well established they bloom con- tinuously. ILE DE FRANCE. HW. (A. Nonin, 1922.) Enormous clusters of semi-double, light crimson-pink flowers, with white centers and clusters of sparkling golden stamens. Strong, vigorous growth and very profuse flowering. A half-double form of American Pillar, making a most spectacular display with its prodigal wealth of bloom. It does not discolor as much as American Pillar in hot weather. We believe we have here something extra good. It might be described as a Double American Pillar but the color is darker. LE REVE. Per. (Pemet-Ducher, 1923.) Golden yel- low buds and bright yellow, semi-double flowers profusely produced early in the season. The plant is a moderately vigorous pillar with unusually good foliage for this type of Rose. In general much like Star of Persia, but it is doubtful if it is any better as it does not climb so vigorously. Both have a strong sassafras- like fragrance. $1 each. PAPA ROUILLARD. HW. (E. Turbat & Cie., 1923.) Medium-sized, round buds and full flowers, borne in long clusters of 15 to 25; bright glowing carmine. Plant is a very vigorous climber with excellent foliage and produces abundant bloom. A good late-flowering red Climber which is almost thornless. We believe it will be best treated as a Pillar Rose. PHYLLIS BIDE. HM. (S. Bide & Sons, 1924.) Tiny, exquisitely formed buds and flowers with gracefully reflexed petals, produced singly or in sparse clusters throughout the summer and autumn. Pale gold with pink tones and deep rosy tips. Growth wiry, with small, airy foliage apparently healthy and hardy. When first introduced, some European rosar- ians declared it was an eveblooming yellow Tau- sendschon but the flowers have not had the last- ing quality of Tausendschon, and after the first big display only a few flowers are produced from time to time during the summer. The blooms are especially charming in the morning, paling rapidly as the day advances. There is no question that this is one of the most distinct climbing roses intro- duced in years. It makes a very pretty pillar and the flowers keep well when cut. Recommended. PRINCESS LOUISE. HM. (P. Nabonnand, 1923.) Elegant, long buds and large, cupped, semi-double flowers, borne in clusters. Dark purple blooms, tinged with garnet in center. Vigorous and free flowering. A new Multiflora Climber of considerable vigor and an unusual color. SNOWFLAKE. HW. (F. Cant & Co., 1922.) Me- dium-sized buds and pure white, double flowTers, about the size of a walnut, which do not discolor on the plant. Flowers are borne in large, graceful clusters in great profusion. A strong-growing climber with foliage resistant to disease. Late-flowering, giving the impression of myriads of snowflakes on a dark, shining back- ground. So far we have seen no evidence of mildew upon it. STAR OF PERSIA. Fcetida Hybrid. (J. H. Pemberton, 1919.) Semi-double, bright yellow flowers about 3 inches across, borne in large, loose sprays. Growth vigorous (about 8 to 10 feet), with dark, characteristic foliage. No disease has been seen upon it. A very splendid novelty, tending to be a hardy yellow climber. The color does not fade and the flower- trusses last several weeks. A pillar of it is a marvelously beautiful shower of brilliant yellow bloom in its season, and its light green foliage is attractive when it is out of flower. $1 each. See illustration opposite page 48. 11 NOVELTIES AND NEW ROSES by Bohhink &Aikms NOVELTY CLIMBING ROSES Introduced 1926 by Bobbink & Atkins The four varieties offered below, and pictured in color on the next two pages, were originated by F. R. M. Undritz, of West New Brighton, N. Y., within the past ten years, but for various reasons have not been actually put in commerce, although there has been much interest and curiosity about them, carrying forward, as they do, the remarkable climbing strain originated by the late Dr. W. Van Fleet, through two of his choicest varieties, Silver Moon and Dr. W. Van Fleet. We consider them worthy additions to this high-grade class of Climbing Roses and are glad we were first to make them available for general planting. These Novelties are $2.50 each BEN STAD. HW. (F. R. M. Undritz, 1926.) Medium- sized, ovoid buds and informal, cupped flowers of creamy white, flushed with flesh-pink on the back and illumined by large golden centers, fragrant and lasting, borne in sprays on long, strong stems. Plant is very vigorous, of climbing habit, and blooms pro- fusely for three to four weeks. Foliage dark green, glossy, and resistant to disease. This Rose was registered with the American Rose Society in 1925 as Rev. Floris Ferwerda, but because of the difficulty of remembering and pronouncing that name it was given a new one. It is a cross between Silver Moon and Mme. Jules Grolez, and is one of the most charming climbers introduced in recent years. FREEDOM. HW. (F. R. M. Undritz, 1918.) Me- dium-sized, ovoid buds and full, cupped flowers of pure white tinged with lemon in the center and slightly fragrant, borne several together on long strong stems. Plant of vigorous climbing habit with leathery foliage. It blooms very freely in June. A cross between Silver Moon and Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria, approaching Silver Moon in habit and Kaiserin in flower. We have found it a most handsome white climber of great refinement and charm, and are sure it will be well liked. The flowers are lasting and the blooming season en- dures for several weeks in early summer. GENERAL JOHN PERSHING. HW. (F. R. M. Undritz, 1920.) Dark pink, almost red, buds opening to double, medium-sized, pointed flowers of brilliant dark pink; mildly fragrant, and borne on strong stems of medium length. Growth is vigorously climbing with dark green, glossy foliage. A cross between Dr. W. Van Fleet and Mrs. W. J. Grant. It was first called F. R. M. Un- dritz, under which name it was registered with the American Rose Society in 1917; but later it was renamed with the permission of the Society. The flowers are doubler than Dr. W. Van Fleet and at times resemble La France. We have found it a remarkably vigorous grower producing great quantities of high-grade flowers. VICTORY. HW. (F. R. M. Undritz, 1918.) Pointed buds and exquisite, medium-sized flowers of salmon- pink a shade or two lighter than General John Persh- ing. Moderately fragrant and borne in sprays on strong stems suitable for cutting. A fairly strong climber with glossy, healthy foliage not easily afflicted with common Rose troubles. A cross between Dr. W. Van Fleet and Mme. Jules Grolez which has shown genuine quality as a low climber or Pillar Rose. Its growth is not as rampant as others of this class — an ad- vantage in gardens of restricted space. It is perhaps the most delicately colored of the four. A LIST OF EASY ROSES Before proceeding to the main lists of Roses, it may be helpful to insert here a list of varieties which are easy to grow, selected from the most important everblooming classes. It is next to impossible to make a list of the best Roses because there is no standard of absolute per- fection except individual judgment or good taste. A quality which one grower believes important may seem trivial to another. Nevertheless, rosarians are agreed upon a limited number of Roses which do well under almost any conditions, which attain fine proportions and produce great quantities of bloom. A few of them are very beautiful, but it should be remembered that this list is composed of Roses noted for easy growth and not for the high quality of their flowers. HYBRID TEAS page Betty.

Red and White 61 12 Freedom (above) and General John Pershing (below) Victory (above) and Ben Stad (below) TEA, HYBRID TEA, AND PERNETIANA ROSES THE so-called Everblooming Roses comprise the Hybrid Teas (designated HT.) and the Teas (T.). They do not bloom all the time, but if kept healthy and growing steadily, one crop of flowers succeeds another at brief intervals. These are the most popular and useful of all Roses, supplying flowers of beautiful form, fragrance, and color. They are hardy over almost all parts of the United States and Canada, but must have suitable protection in climates subject to zero weather, or worse. The Pernetianas are included with the Hybrid Teas because it is impossible to distinguish the newer varieties from HT’s. A few of the older kinds are marked (Per.). All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, except where otherwise noted ADMIRAL WARD. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1915.) Blackish buds, opening slowly to large, superbly formed blooms of good crimson-red; very fragrant. Grows moderately and blooms best in autumn. Desirable in collections of beautiful Roses. It specializes in producing a fair quantity of ex- cellent blooms rather than many indifferent ones. ADOLPH KOSHEL. HT. (W. Kordes Sohne, 1918.) Tapering, orange-yellow buds and large, very double flowers with a high center and strong Tea Rose perfume. Plant is vigorous when established. A very handsome Rose which has not made its way as rapidly as it should. We wish it were more widely planted to determine its usefulness. ADONIS. HT. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Large, long buds, opening to massive blooms of ivory-cream, lightly shaded with lemon. Very double, with full, high centers, and fragrant. Grows compactly and flowers well throughout the season. Most excellent for cutting and exhibition, being similar in color but larger and more im- pressive than the famous old Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. Likely to ball in damp weather but all white Roses do that. $1.50 each. ALADDIN. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1917.) Medium- sized, globular buds of copper-yellow; open flowers almost single, rich orange-yellow paling as the flowers age; some fragrance. Strong, branching growth, blooming in diffuse clusters; resistant to disease. An almost single Rose of undoubted merit for garden decoration. The flower is reminiscent of Harry Kirk, but smaller and more intensely yellow. Early bloom excellent, fine in autumn, but summer bloom not so good. ALEXANDER EMSLIE. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1918.) A ruby-crimson flower of moderate size, globular shape, and delicious fragrance. The plant grows freely under most conditions and blooms well; foliage dark and apparently quite resistant to disease. A good Rose, practically unknown in this country, although its clear ruby color should commend it for more extensive planting. Valu- able chiefly for garden decoration but when disbudded will produce large and perfect blooms. ALEXANDER HILL GRAY. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Pale lemon-yellow deepening in the center of its perfectly formed fragrant flowers. Moderate growth and bloom. One of the hardiest and most beautiful Tea Roses. Best in autumn or in cool, dry seasons. Suggested for trial in the South. AMALIE DE GREIFF. HT. (P. Lambert, 1912.) Ovoid buds of brick-rose, and large, well-formed, globular flowers of fine substance and petalage, paling as they open to light shell- or salmon-pink, deeper in center. Grows well and blooms steadily throughout most of the season. Foliage is soft but little bothered by disease. A most attractive Rose whose unusual color ought to win it a place of honor in all good col- lections. AMELIE DE BETHUNE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1923.) Very large, globular flowers of coral-red, shaded with crimson, double and moderately fragrant. Erect, bushy growth, bearing abundant foliage and a wealth of bloom. A very interesting new sort resembling Mme. Edouard Herriot somewhat, with a better shaped flower and more petals. Color more of a coral- pink than red. AMERICA (Hill’s America). HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1921.) Fine, light pink blooms of exquisite form and heavy substance; fragrant. Growth fair; foliage good. A greenhouse or florists’ Rose which has not been an unqualified success in gardens. Very close to its parent Columbia, and has been a disappointment to us. ANGELE PERNET. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1924.) Brownish orange blooms of excellent shape, although only semi-double, and the color is well retained; some fragrance. Plant is of moderate growth, but loses its foliage in wet seasons. A most attractive color, approaching very nearly that of the gladiolus Alice Tiplady, but darker. Rather delicate in growth in the East but this may be caused by over-propagation. We have accounts of its splendid behavior in the Rocky Mountain region. $1.50 each. EVERBLOOMING ROSES ^ OSgS htj BohLiftk. ANTOINE RIVOIRE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1895.). Pale, silvery pink, often shaded lilac, with a touch of yellow at the base; opens flat; double to center; medium size; fragrant. Erect, moderate growth; foliage small, dark; free blooming spring and fall; extremely hardy. A favorite Rose for many years, equally at- tractive in bud and open flower which is a perfect example of the imbricated form. It seldom mil- dews. Midsummer bloom shy. Valuable for cool regions and gardens where mildew is prevalent. ARGENTINE CRAMON. HT. (C. Chambard, 1915.) Very fine, double blooms, shading from pure white at base of outer petals to pale rose at the tips, and deepening to salmon in the center. Not notably fra- grant. Good growth and attractive foliage. Has excellent bedding qualities. Beautiful in the bud state when it is most distinct and at- tractive but not so good in hot weather. ARIEL. HT. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Large, globular flowers of orange-flame and yellow, shaded with crimson at center and on outside of buds, quite fragrant. Plant generally vigorous, upright, and free flowering, with foliage which does not mildew under ordinary conditions. Not so vigorous in growth as Independence Day. The early flowers are a little better but in late summer Independence Day seems superior. The sturdy plant blooms in great bursts of color, making a splendid decorative sort. ARTHUR R. GOODWIN. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1909.) Copper-orange buds and very double, orange- pink blooms with rich fragrance. Growth low, spread- ing and prickly; very free flowering; leaves dark, glossy; rather tender. Very beautiful buds and flowers of remarkable color. Excellent for bedding; black-spots easily and needs extra protection in severe climates. ASPIRANT MARCEL ROUTER. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1919.) Bronzy apricot paling to salmon at edges; some fragrance. Dwarf, spreading habit; foliage glossy; blooms steadily. Extremely beautiful for massing, and en- thusiastically praised by everyone who has thoroughly tested it. The buds are especially fine, and the open flowers good even in hot weather, although the color is lighter. $1.50 each. AUGUSTINE GUINOISSEAU. HT. (Guinoisseau, 1889.) Very double blooms of pure white, with a flush of pinkish fawn at center; very fragrant. Strong-growing; moderately free flowering and both hardy and resistant to disease. A sport of the famous La France which it re- sembles in all but color. Buds may ball in ex- tremely unfavorable weather. AUGUSTUS HARTMANN. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1914.) Stunning light red, tending toward vermilion. Double, well-formed flowers; fragrant. Grows mod- erately and blooms fairly well. Very hot weather spoils the color of this Rose but it compensates in cooler seasons. Continued experience confirms our belief that it is a pretty good Rose after all. BARONNE CHARLES D’HUART. HT. (Ketten Bros., 1910.) Delightfully formed flowers of light rose with white and lilac shading; no fragrance. Plant upright, vigorous, and free flowering. A charming old Rose which deserves to be better known. Still a novelty in America. BEAUTS DE LYON. See page 41. BENEDICTE SEGUIN. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1918.) Large, highly colored buds and reddish apricot blooms; semi-double; fragrant. Grows vigorously. Especially attractive in bud; resistant to disease and a fine autumn bloomer. BESSIE BROWN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1899.) Massive, very double blooms of very light flesh- color; some fragrance. Moderate growth and bloom. Buds often ball, but worth striving for. Not a strong plant, its energies going into its enormous flowers which are prized for remarkable beauty. BETTY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1905.) Coppery pink buds of exquisite form, opening to large, rather loosely formed, pale buff-pink flowers with little fragrance. Strong branching growth with large, glossy foliage; an excellent bloomer and reliably hardy. Betty’s glorious buds have never been sur- passed and have made it a steady favorite. The long stems are wiry. Scarcely ever troubled by disease and in this season of extremely difficult conditions, Betty has been among the very few that have retained their vigor and good foliage. This is one of the easiest Roses to grow. BETTY UPRICHARD. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1922.) Copper-red buds, opening to semi-double (17 petals) flowers of above average size; brilliant orange-carmine on outer surface of petals, showing light salmon reflexes; spicy fragrance. Strong- growing, persistent-blooming, and healthy. At a distance the color effect is that of an exceptionally good Jonkheer J. L. Mock. A very fine Rose in vigor, blooming color, and resistance to heat and drought. Although the flowers have few petals, they keep well when cut and it is one of the most vigorous and dependable bedding Roses we know. It is going to be one of the most popular of all Roses when it is better known. $1.50 each. BIANCA. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1913.) Long-pointed buds, opening to pale peach-blossom flowers tinted with deeper pink and violet, center shaded rose. The plant is a moderate grower with average foliage. A very attractive Rose, practically unknown in America, although generally admired abroad. $1.50 each. BLOOMFIELD ABUNDANCE. HT. (Capt. Thomas, 1920.) Small buds, opening to light salmon-pink flowers, shading to soft silvery flesh-color. Growth is strong; flower-stems good; foliage almost perfect. Somewhat resembles Cecile Brunner in general appearance but larger in growth and blooms are better. A decorative Rose growing 3 feet high or more. Resistant to mildew and black-spot. 14 Rutherford, JfdwJerseii EVERBLOOMING ROSES BLOOMFIELD PROGRESS. HT. (Capt. Thomas, 1920.) Imposing buds, opening to crimson-scarlet blooms of fine form and strong fragrance which last well when cut. Growth is moderately strong; foliage fine, resistant to disease; free flowering, and hardy. Both brighter and darker than General Mac- Arthur, with fuller and more lasting flowers. The stock has been very scarce, but it is a most excellent garden plant and should be in the front rank of all crimson Roses. BON SILENE. T. (Hardy, 1835.) Small buds and semi-double, regularly cupped flowers of soft rosy red, shaded with golden yellow; very sweetly scented. Liberal with its bloom. One of the oldest and most charming Tea Roses. It should do well in mild climates but where winters are severe it should be potted or carried over in a coldframe. Its dainty, old- fashioned beauty is worth the trouble. BRITISH QUEEN. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1912.) Pinkish buds and white flowers of magnificent form; fragrant. Low and branching growth. Extremely beautiful, but likely to hang its head in unfavorable weather. A connoisseur’s Rose. BURGEMEESTER SANDBERG. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1919.) Globular buds, opening to large, cupped blooms of silver-pink, heavily shaded coral- rose; very double and slightly fragrant. Growth strong and bushy; foliage large; remarkably free blooming for such a large-flowered variety. Beautiful both in bud and open flower. Pos- sibly an improvement on the fine old Lady Alice Stanley in flower and blooming. Ought to become very popular for cutting and bedding when better known. CAPITAINE GEORGES DESSIRIER. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1919.) Large buds and very double dark crim- son blooms of notable fire and fragrance. Bushy plant with shining foliage and liberal blooming qualities. Similar to and possibly an improvement on Chateau de Clos Vougeot in its more upright growth. Flowers not quite so dark but very lovely. CAPTAIN F. BALD. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1919.) Black buds and velvety crimson flowers of fine incurved form with large, tulip-like petals; slightly fragrant. Moderate, upright growth with fight green somewhat crinkled foliage; fine autumn bloomer. This is, no doubt, one of the best of the recently introduced Roses. It blooms continuously, increasing its flowers in quantity and quality toward fall, producing an abundance of bloom. See illustration in color facing page 16. CAPTAIN KILBEE-STUART. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1922.) Dark crimson, shaded with vermilion; very massive, large-petaled blooms, and richly fragrant. Moderate growth and bloom. An imposing, well-built flower of the most lovely form. The plant is generally weak but worth coddling for its glorious bloom. $1.50 each. CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. HT. (H. Dickson, 1919.) Fine, long-pointed buds opening to large, loosely formed flowers of striking crimson-scarlet; slightly fragrant. Strong, branching growth and an abund- ance of healthy foliage. A particularly fine red garden Rose with great depth of petals and clear, unfading color. Ex- ceptionally good growth; free from disease. One of the finest red garden Roses in existence and ought to be much better known. See illustration in color opposite page 28. CHARMING. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1921.) Slender, pointed buds opening to rather semi-double flowers of coral-rose and salmon; slightly fragrant. Growth vigorous, spreading; blooms profusely over a long season. A promising decorative Rose for bedding; not yet widely tested in this country. It seems very resistant to disease. The colors of the flowers truly represents its name. $1.50 each. See illus- tration in color facing page 16. CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT. HT. (Pemet- Ducher, 1908.) Glowing red blooms, deeply shaded black and scarlet; very double; intensely fragrant. Low, branching growth; fair foliage. Steady, but not profusely blooming; very hardy. Splendid flowers of the darkest and richest color known in Roses, but while vigorous of its type it is more spreading than upright. This is a Rose which is so good of its kind that real Rose- lovers will forgive its erratic habit and cherish it for its beauty and fragrance. See illustration in color facing page 28. CHEERFUL. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1915.) Shining pink, illumined with orange and yellow; large, not very double blooms of slight fragrance. Vigorously dwarf; free blooming in spring and fall, but sparingly in hot weather. A very bright color, softening to exquisite pink as it ages. Few Roses are so distinct and interesting in form, which begins by looking like a water-lily and ends like a half-double peony. Very lovely. CHRISSIE MACKELLAR. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1913.) Pretty, rose-orange buds and nearly single, orange-pink flowers; sweetly fragrant. Bush ex- tremely vigorous, branching, and profuse in bloom with unusually good foliage. A decorative Rose of the general type of Mrs. A. R. Waddell, with small flowers, stiffer growth, and a better blooming habit. CHRISTINE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1918.) Clean, bright yellow, medium-sized blooms borne on a low, branching plant, almost always in bloom. Very dainty. Nearly unique among unfading yellow Roses, for its healthy foliage and reliable blooming qualities. Invaluable as a low, bedding yellow Rose. The flowers are much like those of Hari son’s Yellow and are very freely produced all season. $1.50 each. 15 E VERBLOOMING ROSES Q^OSgS* hij Bohhink QAthins CLARE DE ESCOFET. HT. (W. Easlea & Sons, 1920.) Very large buds and delicate, flesh-pink blooms with pointed centers, fully double, and not notably fragrant. Plant vigorous and free flowering with foliage above the average. Blooms are carried stiffly erect, and for a Rose of exhibition form, the flowers are freely pro- duced. It is likely to ball badly in unfavorable weather, a trouble likely to affect all very double Roses. CLARICE GOODACRE. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1916.) Yellow buds and fine, high-pointed flowers of creamy white, zoned with pale buff. Strong, robust growth with leathery foliage and fair blooming qualities. A Rose of exquisitely perfect form, with stiff petals, unique color, and rigid stems. Orange- blossom perfume. This is another of those very beautiful Roses which require a real love of Roses to bring to perfection, but which justifies any care and trouble. CLEVELAND. HT. (H. Dickson, 1916.) Very large, full flowers of old-rose and copper, gleaming with yellow at base of petals, moderately fragrant, borne singly on plants which are not always strong. A flower of great beauty and the plants are fairly good, with attractive foliage of average quality. COLONEL LECLERC. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1909.) Large, globular buds, opening to well-formed, sweetly perfumed flowers of light crimson, freely produced throughout the entire season on vigorous, upright plants. While not especially subject to disease, it needs usual protection. Remarkable for its free-flowering habit, which makes it valuable for garden use. The color is not always good, becoming more or less pink in hot weather; otherwise well adapted to American conditions. COLONEL OSWALD FITZGERALD. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1917.) Fine, double blooms of dark velvety crimson, which are produced freely by strong, healthy plants. Notable for liberal bloom and freedom from disease. The flower is very handsome but it has little or no fragrance. COMMANDANT L. BARTRE. HT. (A. Schwartz, 1919.) Light carmine-red, cup-shaped flowers, full, crinkled in center, fairly large, extremely fragrant. Growth strong and branching; foliage dark; free blooming and hardy. Much like old-fashioned Roses in form, with the same rich and satisfying fragrance. Color is rather weak outdoors but quite attractive when flower is cut in bud. A splendid, overlooked bedding variety, commendable for excellent growth, blooming, and delicious perfume. COMTE G. DE ROCHEMUR. HT. (A. Schwartz, 1912.) Bright scarlet and vermilion double flowers of excellent form and large size, with particularly fine perfume. Unusually prolific, of good, strong growth, and not especially subject to the usual Rose diseases. Extraordinary blooming qualities for a red Rose of so fine form. Color is darker than General MacArthur, and it does not bleach so badly in hot weather, although it blues to some extent. COMTESSE DE CASSAGNE. HT. (M. Guillot, 1919. ) Outside petals ivory-yellow, inside coppery pink; scented, very double flowers. Plant vigorous and a steady bloomer. An attractive Rose of variable color, often clear yellow. Petals wide and well shaped. Reminds us very much of the splendid Miss Willmott but has more color, especially at the tips of the petals. We think a lot of this Rose. CONSTANCE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1915.) Orange buds, streaked crimson, and medium globular flowers of pure yellow which lasts well. Plant dwarfish and not reliably hardy. Splendid yellow — once the best Rose of its color, and has few equals now. Good in favor- able locations and with special care. Needs protection from black-spot. A good many people who discarded it once have come back to it be- cause of the superior beauty of its flowers over more recent yellow sorts. CONSTANCE CASSON. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1920. ) A very large pink and yellow flower, marked and shaded with apricot, gold, and copper. Many petals, good substance, and fragrant. A stout, dwarf plant, free flowering and quite healthy. COLUMBIA. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1917.) Lively, bright pink, sweetly scented flowers of exquisite shape and strong, stiff petals, deepening in color as they expand. Free flowering, good growth, and healthy foliage. The popularity of this Rose as a florists’ flower has given it somewhat undeserved prominence in gardens. When conditions are just right, it is extremely good, but more often the buds and blooms are malformed and blotchy. Shade, water, and heavy feeding help it. We forgive its failings in summer for the beautiful blooms it produces in the fall. This is rightly called a “beginner’s Rose.” More experienced growers prefer flowers of higher quality. 'W@An established Hybrid Tea Rose 16 pruned high in spring Much like Gorgeous, with heavier petals and more enduring color. A highly tinted garden Rose. Seldom mildews and seems very resistant to black-spot for a Rose of this type. $1.50 each. CORNELIS TIMMERMANS. HT. (J. Timmermans, 1919.) Soft pink blooms with rounded petals shading to yellow at the edges; mildly fragrant. Tall, bushy plants, free flowering and usually healthy. A novel Rose which is not fully double but it opens without balling and is a very good bed- ding variety. $1.50 each. COURTNEY PAGE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) Scarlet-crimson blooms, overlaid with a velvety sheen, perfectly formed, fully double, and power- fully fragrant. The bush makes fairly good growth. Marvelously fine at times but, like all dark 1 Elegante 2 Golden Ophelia 3 Charming 4 Capt. F. Bald Roselandia Feu Jos. Looymans ^zikerford, MewJersefi EVERBLOOMXNG ROSES crimson Roses, a little variable in hue. The plant could be stronger. $1.50 each. CRIMSON CHAMPION. HT. (J. Cook, 1916.) Large, cup-like, semi-double blooms of lustrous mahogany-red. Plant is dwarf and particularly free from disease. A most unusual Rose of unfading color, but without scent. Its greatest drawback is its very slight growth — scarcely strong enough to support the flowers. Havzlmark Crimson is a very similar flower but not as dark and velvety. CRIMSON CHATENAY. HT. (H. Merryweather & Sons, 1915.) Bright crimson blooms of decorative quality, very fragrant, borne on a moderately vigorous bush of upright growth with good foliage and quite hardy. A seedling of Mme. Abel Chatenay which it somewhat resembles in form and habit. Lasts well when cut. CRIMSON EMBLEM. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1916.) Bright red, semi-double blooms, borne in large trusses on a tall-growing, very vigorous plant. Flowers are thin, but very freely produced, and the foliage generally needs some extra pro- tection from black-spot. CRIMSON QUEEN. HT. (A. Montgomery, Jr., 1912.) Slender, delicately pointed buds, opening to well-shaped blooms of rich crimson which show center when fully open, very fragrant, and freely produced on upright, vigorous canes with good foliage. A florists’ Rose of the General MacArthur type which has found a place in the garden. Color blues outdoors, but holds better when cut as a bud, making quite a satisfactory flower for indoor decoration. CRUSADER. HT. (Montgomery Co., Inc., 1920.) A fine crimson Rose of massive form, with a firm, pointed center; almost scentless. Blooms borne singly on stiff stems; plant of moderate growth with splendid foliage. Another florists’ Rose whose color fades some- what in the garden. Fine for cutting because of its strong stems and lasting quality. In the fall, the flowers are perfect and the color does not fade as in midsummer. DEAN HOLE. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1904.) A large, silvery carmine flower of splendid shape, with light salmon shading; very fragrant. Plant is moderately vigorous, only a fair bloomer, and foliage is not always of the best. A Rose whose name and exquisite form have saved it from extinction. Color is frequently off-shade, and it needs special protection against its enemies. Ranks high for exhibition purposes where individual blooms of high quality count. DERNBURG. HT. (Dr. Kruger, 1917.) Large, well-formed flcfwers of bright rose, shaded with coral- red and yellow; bushy and free-flowering plant. Recommended abroad as a fine cutting and bedding Rose. Rare in this country. DIADEM. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) A large, fragrant, double flower of copper-orange, with salmon and flame tints. Growth is excellent, but none too liberal in bloom. Foliage is very good and quite hardy. $1.50 each. Splendid for cutting if taken in bud, although color is better outdoors. $1.50 each. DIANA. HT. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Silvery flesh-color combined with lemon and cream in the most exquisite shades. Flowers very large and double, of faultless form, with petals of firm texture. Upright habit with healthy and abundant foliage. Remarkably beautiful in color, recalling the silvery old Souvenir de la Malmaison although of more modern form. Opens well in almost all weathers and exceptionally well in autumn. $1.50 each. DOMKAPITULAR DR. LAGER. HT. (P. Lambert, 1903.) Salmon-pink and carmine blooms, unusually fragrant and freely produced. Plant of good, up- right growth, with handsome foliage. Practically identical in flower and foliage with Betty. If anything it is a stronger grower, and has all of Betty’s good qualities. DONALD MACDONALD. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1916.) Orange-carmine, semi-double flowers of medium size; perfumed. Blooms in sprays; compact growth. Notable chiefly for its sparkling color and unusual floriferousness. Good for bedding. DOROTHY PAGE-ROBERTS. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1907.) Glistening, coppery pink, semi-double blooms suffused apricot; petals very large and of good substance; not very fragrant. Tall growth and fairly free flowering; little troubled by disease. Flowers are too thin and fleeting to last well when cut, but its large size, variable color, free growth and bloom commend it for garden use. DR. JOSEPH DREW. HT. (C. Page, 1918.) Salmon- yellow flowers, warmly suffused with pink, large, shapely, and sweetly fragrant. Plant quite robust, free flowering, and hardy. Remarkable for its floriferousness and splendid growth. In hot weather it is pure white with a superb golden center. We like it. DUCHESSE DE BRABANT. T. (Bernede, 1857.) Small, tulip-shaped, double flowers of pale pink and flesh color. Vigorous, bushy growth, with excellent foliage; fairly hardy. An old-time decorative Tea. Growth small in North but splendid where it does not freeze. DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. See page 42. DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1909.) Enormous, tapering buds of golden orange, slowly opening to very large saffron-colored, sweetly fra- grant Roses of great size and sub- stance. Plant very vigorous.,, healthy, and liberal with its flowers. Doubtless the best of all yel- low Roses, but a little lacking in 17 The result of high pruning. IRF' Note bare legs and tall growth EVERBLOOM1NG ROSES ^ 0S6!$ bn Bohhink SAtlyns petals and strength of stem; color becomes lighter with age. There are newer yellow Roses of better color and more pretentious form, but none so generally satisfactory. No Rose-garden is com- plete without a bed of the Duchess, and it should be included in anybody’s “first twelve” sorts. DUCHESS OF WESTMINSTER. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Large buds unfolding to high-centered double flowers of clear rose-pink, sweetly perfumed and long lasting. Plant vigorous and upright. Blooms excellent for cutting with good stems and almost always perfect form. Black-spots in unfavorable seasons and needs usual protection in common with almost all Hybrid Teas. Not very free flowering in midsummer. EARL HAIG. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1921.) Full, well-modeled blooms of dark crimson-red; refreshingly fragrant. Plant sturdily upright and free flowering. Described as brick-red abroad, but crimson here and a very attractive flower under field conditions. $1.50 each. ECARLATE. HT. (Boytard, 1907.) Scarlet-rose flowers of loose, informal shape and moderate size, borne in bewildering abundance throughout the whole season on strong, branching bushes with plentiful light green foliage almost immune to diseases. Very hardy and reliable. A splendid, almost indispensable bright red Rose for massing, bedding, or low hedges about 3 feet high. While the flowers are not remarkable, it is a very satisfactory and long-lived plant, increasing in size and floriferousness each year. Plants in our nursery grounds over eight years old are especially fine. EDEL. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) Very large, well-built, stately blooms of pure, ivory-white and lovely globular form; fragrance slight. Plant very vigorous, bearing its bold blooms on erect stems; foliage quite good but not entirely disease-proof. A superb sort which is making itself necessary in all collections of white Roses. Sometimes nods in unfavorable weather and the outer petals burn, but the massive blooms are unbeatable under usual conditions and we think it has a great future. See illustration in color facing page 28. EDGAR M. BURNETT. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) A very large and fully double Rose, dark pink in center, shading to pale flesh on the outer petals; moderately fragrant. A strong, upright plant. A fine cutting flower and the bush shows unusual resistance to foliage troubles, making a satisfactory garden plant when out of bloom. Not new, but has always been rather scarce. EDITH PART. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1913.) Light red flowers, suffused salmon and yellow, be- coming lighter with age; double, very shapely, and richly perfumed. Bush vigorous and free blooming. A good cutting Rose, with considerable value for garden ornamentation. Color is especially fine and well retained when cut. Hybrid Tea pruned close in spring EDWARD MAWLEY. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1911.) Buds almost black, unfolding to dark red, fairly full flowers of exquisite form in the half-open stage; highly perfumed and quite lasting. Plant moderately vigorous and at its best in early summer and autumn. A beautiful flower with enormous shell-like petals, none too freely produced, especially in summer, but worth waiting for. Needs protec- tion against black-spot, and should be heavily fed to produce good flowers. ELDORADO. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1923.) Golden buds flushed with red, opening to clear yellow, cupped blooms filled to the center Math crinkled petals, slightly fragrant. Erect plant with fairly good foliage ; blooming well in early summer and fall. Well at the top of the new yellow Roses, with more petals and better color than most. It produces its strong canes rather sparingly, and is shy of bloom in midsummer, but by mid-Sep- tember it gives a splendid bloom. $1.50 each. ELEANOR HENNING. HT. (W. Easlea, 1920.) Long, shapely buds and blooms of lovely salmon-pink, freely borne on wiry stems by energetic plants. Much liked for cutting in the bud state. The petals are very long. $1.50 each. ELEGANTE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1918.) Charming, creamy yellow flowers of large size and starry out- line, with pointed center and reflexed petals. Plant low, spreading, free blooming in spring and fall; foliage very fine. Rightly named for its elegance of design and soft, restrained color. Fairly good in summer, but in fall produces flowers of better form and color than in spring. See illustration in color facing page 16. ELLEN WTLLMOTT. HT. (Bemaix, 1898.) Long, shapely buds, unfolding to full, cupped blooms of silvery flesh, with shell-pink center; not especially fragrant. Plant grows with great vigor, blooms freely, and has foliage of unusual quality. Because of its freedom from mildew and habit of opening well under all conditions, it is par- ticularly recommended for damp climates and regions where mildew is prevalent. Not the same Rose as Miss Willmott. ELLI HARTMANN. HT. (Welter, 1913.) Very large, pointed buds and full, well-shaped blooms of clear old-gold, developing lighter shades of pink and yellow; mildly fragrant. Growth remarkable; foliage es- pecially good; hardy and persistent in blooming. We have found this Rose to act differently in different locations. Some places it is exceedingly good and produces magnificent blooms at others it balls very badly. But in general it is best in autumn everywhere. EMILE CHARLES. Per. (P. Bernaix, 1922.) Fiery red buds, shaded with golden yellow, and medium- sized flowers of superb coral-red, outer petals rosy pink tinted strawberry-red, with a flame-colored base. Growth vigorous; foliage ample; free flowering. A more intensely colored descendant from Rutherford, J/ew Jersey EVERBLOOMING ROSES ETOILE DE FRANCE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1904.) Mme. Edouard Herriot, recommended abroad as an ideal Rose for massing and bedding. $1.50 each. EMMA WRIGHT. HT. (S. McGredy & Son. 1918.) Rather small, semi-double Rose of glistening orange — very bright and distinct. One of the most liberal bloomers, of perfect bedding growth and habit. Hardy and resistant to disease. It is easy to find fault with this little Rose, but in spite of having too few petals, opening too quickly, and fading, it is still utterly charming and delightful. Splendid in .masses. EMMELINE. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1921.) Buds pine deep yellow, opening flowers lemon-yellow. Vigorous grower with fine foliage. Described abroad as a garden and decorative Rose of great merit, being a hardy sort of really good constitution and exceedingly floriferous. $1.50 each. E. P. H. KINGMA. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Flower semi-double, deep apricot and orange-yellow. Growth vigorous, rather tall, and exceedingly floriferous. A seedling from Mme. Edouard Herriot and Duchess of Wellington, reported to be of a most wonderful color and somewhat better petalage than its parents. It is particularly beautiful in the half-opened bud. $1.50 each. ETHEL DICKSON. HT. (H. Dickson, 1917.) Pointed buds, with delicately recurving petals, developing into large, beautifully formed flowers of deep salmon- rose, with silvery reflexes. Upright, branching plant, profuse in blooming. Similar to the beautiful Mme. Abel Chatenay, but considered an improvement in growth of plant and size of bloom. ETHEL SOMERSET. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1921.) Coral and shrimp-pink blooms of splendid form and fragrance. Strong-growing, free-flowering plants. Has merits which commend it for garden use, and produces blooms of high quality. $1.50 each. ETIENNE REBEILLARD. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1924.) Flesh-pink, semi-double flowers of medium size, with a golden suffusion over all; slightly fragrant. Vigorous plant and foliage. A decorative garden Rose of radiant color and blessed with attractive and enduring foliage. $1.50 each. ETOILE DE FEU. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Solid, globular buds, opening to large, cupped flowers of flaming orange-pink, full to center, borne on stiff stems throughout the whole season. Plant dwarf and bushy, with glistening healthy foliage. Resembles Louise Catherine Breslau in type and general appearance, but much more fiery in color, compactly formed, less subject to black- spot, and producing more flowers. We consider it the best in form, of the new fire-colored Roses. $1.50 each. See illustration in color facing page 20. Vivid crimson flowers, with full, rounded centers of bright cerise; fragrant and long lasting. Strong, free- blooming plants with stiff stems and good foliage. A standard crimson garden Rose, fair for cutting. Buds liable to ball in heat and wet. Well-known and very popular. ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Brilliant red blooms of magnificent size, perfect in half-open state, showing clean, at- tractive centers when fully open; petals enormous; very fragrant. Plants branching, particularly free flowering and healthy. A splendid Rose with no serious faults. Color holds remarkably well, becoming lighter instead of bluing. The buds are a little small but open beautifully. Toward fall, the flowers are larger, fuller, and darker red. Easily the most depend- able and easy-growing red Rose with anything like good form. In fact we have no hesitation in saying it is the best red Rose grown today. $1.50 each. See illustration facing page 5. ETOILE DE LYON. T. (P. Guillot, 1881.) Golden yellow buds and scented flowers fully double. Plant is spreading and healthy, but rather tender. A Tea Rose with very heavy, nodding blooms. Hardy with heavy protection in the North. EVENING STAR. HT. (H. Morse, 1919.) Medium- sized buds and globular golden yellow flowers shaded apricot. Slightly fragrant and freely borne. A sport of Mme. Edouard Herriot. Sometimes pinker than a yellow Rose ought to be, but a good massing and bedding variety. FELICITY. HT. (Clarke Bros., 1919.) A beautiful shade of mallow-pink, shaded with cerise and cream; sweet-scented. Vigorous and very free flowering. A new American Rose which is making its mark wherever it has been tried. FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS. HT. (P. J. Looymans & Co., 1922.) Long, pointed buds, resembling those of Sunburst, and large, fairly full flower of yellow, with vivid apricot tints, giving it a brilliant effect in the center. Growth [strong, straight and bushy. Recommended abroad for gardening and ex- hibition purposes. Here the very long, firm buds are brilliant orange-buff, strongly suffused with yellow. The flowers are well-formed, on ex- tremely strong stems; attractive and pleasing when several days old. The foliage is hard, stiff glossy green. $1.50 each. See illustration in color facing page 17. FLAME OF FERE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1917.) Large, long-pointed buds and double blooms of pure orange- flame, borne singly on strong stems; moderately fragrant. Plant of open habit. Color is striking and blooms are very perfect when well grown, but it is rather difficult and demands special attention. 19 Result of close pruning — low, iPF“ compact bush, large flowers EVERBLOOMING ROSES cR0S6S by Bohiink tjAtkins FLAMMENROSE.

Medium-sized, well-formed flowers of fine crimson, shaded black; moderately double and fragrant. Vigorous, almost climbing habit. An attractive Rose which is best kept as a large bush or pillar. Its chief fault is that the flowers lose their shape too quickly in hot weather. FLORENCE PEMBERTON. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1903.) Beautiful, well-pointed blooms of clear light pink, double to very double, and mildly fragrant. Moderate growth and very free bloom. Color is near Antoine Rivoire, but the bloom is more pointed — in the style of Lady Ursula but larger and less fleshy. FRANCES GAUNT. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1918.) Semi-double blooms of good size, deeply stained in bud and newly opened flowers with fawn and apricot- yellow, paling to light flesh-color with age. A vigor- ous, branching plant; moderately free in bloom. A little-known decorative Rose, similar to Mme. Ravary, with larger flowers and better stems, making it excellent for cutting as a bud. FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. HT. (J. Cook, 1913.) Very large, light crimson buds and blooms of noblest form, very double (95 petals); slightly fragrant. Plant is erect, producing its massive blooms in great abundance; good foliage; quite hardy. A most perfect and glorious Rose, but likely to ball and fade badly in hot weather, a failing which is easily overlooked because of its supreme quality in cooler periods, and in fall, when the flowers fade less. FRANK W. DUNLOP. HT. (J. H. Dunlop, 1919.) Very large buds and flowers of deep, brilliant rose- pink; very double and highly perfumed. Plant grows tall, with sparse foliage, and blooms freely. A florists’ Rose from Canada, which has sur- prised us by being a good garden variety. Its chief fault is the lack of any real distinctiveness in the shape of the flower. FRIEDRICHSRUH. HT. (Tiirke, 1907.) Deep wine-red blooms, with still darker shadows; flat form but double to center and intensely fragrant. Plant spreading, with long, nearly horizontal stems; very free flowering and apparently free from disease. Of the Chateau de Clos Vougeot type, but more vin- ous in color and of freer growth. No Rose in com- merce has more petals and no Rose is more fragrant. pointed bud G.AMEDEE HAMMOND. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1915.) Medium-sized, double flowers of apricot and yellow; perfect form. Plant very vigorous. Flowers rather fleeting but good for the garden because it blooms so freely. GEISHA. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1920.) Orange- yellow buds, stained with garnet, opening to semi- double, orange blooms which become golden yellow with age. A vigorous, free-flowering bush with foliage better than most yellow Roses of similar type. An orange-yellow sport from Mme. Edouard Herriot, possessing most of the characteristics of that splendid old sort but differing in color. Recommended as a bright bedding Rose wherever Herriot is known to succeed. GENERAL MACARTHUR. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1905.) Crimson-scarlet buds and blooms, usually well-shaped and very fragrant. The plant is erect, flowering freely in successive crops, with good foliage easily protected from disease. Long considered the best red bedding Rose and surpassed in hot weather by only a few more double varieties. Blues in heat but excellent in cool seasons. GENERAL-SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1912.) Light crimson or car- mine blooms on stately stems; fragrant and long- lasting. A very strong, free-flowering plant of almost perfect habit. One of the best bedding Roses for reliability of growth and bloom; without fault, except a rather commonplace color. GEORGE C. WAUD. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1908.) A unique shade of light red, with a suggestion of orange and vermilion. Blooms very double, with pointed centers and some perfume. Very vigorous and healthy bush. A deserving favorite in all gardens for its liberal growth and dependability at all seasons. Hot weather is its worst enemy, causing the blooms to become malformed and bleached. Perfect in autumn. GLADYS HOLLAND. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1917.) Flowers of extraordinary beauty of form and heavy texture, very light pink shaded buff. Plant dwarf and not very free flowering. One of the most beautiful Roses grown, but the bush could be better. Needs heavy feeding to bring it to perfection. GLOIRE DES BELGES. HT. (Chambard, 1915.) Large, pointed, ovoid buds, opening slowly to cupped blooms of vivid carmine which does not fade. Vigor- ous plant, and blooms freely. An almost unknown Rose of much charm when cut half-open. Also a good bedding variety. GOLDEN EMBLEM. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1917.) Intensely yellow buds and blooms of superb shape and texture, borne freely on erect, branching plants with tough, glossy foliage. Most perfectly formed of the yellow Roses, but not good in hot, dry weather. Magnificent in cool seasons. 20 Mrs. Beckwith John Russell Rutherford, J'few Jersey EVERBLOOMING ROSES GOLDEN OPHELIA. HT. (B. E. Cant & Sons, 1918.) Well-shaped blooms with a heart of golden yellow, shading lighter toward the edges of the flower, and delicately perfumed. The plant is robust and healthy, blooming with great freedom. A seedling of Ophelia and prized as a yellow form of that lovely Rose. The golden color is richest and purest in the fall. Must not be confused with Yellow Ophelia, which is a distinct variety. See illustration in color facing page 16. GOLDEN SPRAY. HT. (H. Dickson, 1917.) A deep yellow, practically single Rose, becoming lighter with age. Blooms in big sprays throughout the season. A lovely garden Rose when it is good, but very conservative in growth. GORGEOUS. HT. (H. Dickson, 1915.) Very double, light yellow blooms, overspread with copper and orange in very vivid hues. A low-growing, thorny bush with only fair foliage. Beautiful color, making a brilliant display, but the plant needs care to overcome its weak- nesses. Best early in the season. GRACE MQLYNEUX. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1908.) Medium-sized blooms of exquisite form and pale apricot and light flesh color; Tea Rose perfume. Plant of excellent growth; a fair bloomer. A beautiful Rose which has been overlooked. Its foliage is weak but there are many more popular ones with worse. GRANDE DUCHESSE MARIE- ADELAIDE. HT. (Soupert & Notting, 1912.) Pointed buds and flowers of copper-yellow, becoming lighter at edges with age, with deep yellow stains at base of petals. Low, wiry, horizontal growth. Very pretty Rose with good stems for cutting. Balls in extreme heat, and it is subject to defolia- tion, especially in wet weather. GRANGE COLOMBE. HT. (P. Guillot, 1911.) Large, pointed buds and cupped double flowers of creamy white, with salmon and fawn centers; moder- ately fragrant. Plant very sturdy and vigorous, bloom- ing heavily in spring and fall; foliage good; hardy. An old favorite bedding Rose with strong stems — a little short for cutting. Valued for its clear exquisite color and quantity of bloom. One of the finest light-colored Roses grown. GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. HT. (Geschwindt, 1897.) Small to medium-sized double blooms of brilliant crimson with velvet shadings and intense fragrance. Blooms in open clusters with the utmost freedom throughout the whole season. Bush extremely vigorous and hardy. The best of all outdoor Roses for garden decoration. Too big to plant with other Roses and should be massed alone. Do not prune except to remove dead flowers seed-hips and worn-out wood. HADLEY. HT. (Montgomery Co., Inc., 1914.) A rich crimson-red flower with velvety texture, lovely form, and perfume. Moderate in growth and bloom. Splendid color which blues very little. Flowers small in summer; superb in fall. HARRY KIRK. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1907.) Lovely buds of elegant shape and substance, opening to deep straw-yellow, semi-double, cupped blooms of great size, with some fragrance. Bush erect and strong; foliage good; plant is hardy. A Tea Rose which displays a distinctly Hybrid Tea character, especially in hardiness, shape, and carriage of bloom. A most excellent bedding variety, and delightful when it is cut in the half-open state. HAWLMARK CRIMSON. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1920.) Pointed buds of intense crimson, with vivid maroon markings, opening to crimson-scarlet, almost single blooms of excellent form with pene- trating fragrance. Plant low-branching and mod- erately vigorous, blooming quite freely. The gorgeous, cupped flowers are large and the brilliant dark color is very enduring. We consider it one of the most promising novelties and predict that it will become very popular. $1.50 each. H.D.M. BARTON. HT. (H. Dickson, 1917.) A rich, velvety crimson Rose, with large, well-shaped buds and blooms. Bush of moderate growth and bloom. Somewhat like General MacArthur, but does not blue so badly. Foliage is a trifle weak and a little extra protection is a benefit in winter. HELENE DUCHE. HT. (E. Buatois, 1920.) Flower soft rose, with silvery reflexes and border of petals carmine, very large and full. Vigorous growth. Reputed to be a descendant of Mme. Caroline Testout, which puts it into excellent company. $1.50 each. HENRIETTA, HT. (H. Merryweathef & Sons, 1915.) Long buds, opening to semi-double blooms of fiery orange and coral-red, almost perfect in their half- open state; quite fragrant. Growth tall; foliage good; blooms freeiy in distinct periods. Taller, more erect, and brighter than Mme. Edouard Herriot, to which it is often compared. It is more like Dorothy Page-Roberts, being almost identical with that variety in everything except its brighter color. HERFSTTOOI. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1919.) Very dark, globular buds, expanding to bright purplish red blooms of rather loose form, good size, double, and notably fragrant. Plant spreading and bushy; dark green shining foliage, like leather. As indicated by its name, it is an extremely fine Rose in autumn — one of those dependable sorts which, without being striking in any way, helps keep color in the garden at all times. HONORABLE INA BINGHAM. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 19'05.) Large, semi-double flowers of enormous, pine pink petals, with a center of golden stamens. Very fragrant and a strong grower. One of the most attractive semi- double flowers but none too free flowering, although when it comes good it is worth waiting for. 21 A tapering budWQ?' EVERBLooMiNG roses CI\0S6S hy Babhink QAtkins HOOSIER BEAUTY. HT. (F. Dorner & Sons Co., 1915.) Splendid, dark red blooms of impeccable shape and powerful fragrance. Plant healthy but erratic in growth and not especially free flowering. It is often necessary to wait a long time for good flowers, but they are well worth waiting for. HORTULANUS FIET. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Very large, graceful flowers of deep ochre-yellow, with a distinct perfume. Our admiration for this Rose has steadily in- creased from season to season. We believe it has a future. See illustration in color facing page 21. H. P. PINKERTON. HT. (H. Dickson, 1918.) Long- pointed buds of blackish scarlet and large, double blooms of brilliant red, flamed with crimson. A vigorous plant and notably free flowering. A scarce Rose recommended especially for its bright color and floriferousness. HUGO ROLLER. T. (W. Paul & Son, 1907.) Medium- sized, not very double blooms of light canary-yellow, edged with purplish pink. Modest in growth; re- sistant to disease, but rather tender. A Tea Rose of novel color but too tender to winter well in the North without heavy protection. H. V. MACHIN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Massive crimson buds and intensely red, very large flowers of perfect shape, with a tight pointed center; fragrant. Plant robustly erect, bearing its heavy blooms on stout stems. Excellent bloomer in spring. Close to the Hybrid Perpetuals in habit and dearth of summer bloom. Blues badly but splendid in spite of it. Dr. Van Fleet admired this Rose and said: “Forgive it for sparse blooming; when it does bloom it makes up for it in beauty.” IMPERIAL POTENTATE. HT. (Clarke Bros., 1932.) A firm-petaled bloom of dark, shining rose-pink, shaded lighter on reverse of petals; fragrant. A promising new Rose from the Pacific North- west which is rapidly becoming popular. INDEPENDENCE DAY. HT. (Bees Ltd., 1919.) Flaming yellow buds, heavily shaded with copper and brown, opening quickly to a moderately large flower of 15 to 20 petals which rapidly fades to fight orange-pink. Strong, upright, branching habit. Flowers are thin and only medium size, but very freely produced — the bush is almost always covered with buds and bloom. Probably the best of a half-dozen brilliantly colored varieties of similar type. See illustration in color facing page 29. INDIANA. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1907.) Wefi-formed, double, bright pink flowers, faintly suffused with orange, borne very freely on good stems for cutting. Plant is quite vigorous and bushy in habit. An excellent garden Rose which could be described as a gigantic Hermosa, the old-fashioned monthly Rose. INNOCENCE. HT. See page 7. *^Pi^4n urn-shaped hud IONA HERDMAN. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) Rich yellow buds, opening to brilliant yellow flowers full of narrow petals; slightly fragrant. Fairly strong plant of open habit, blooming liberally; normal foliage. A gloriously colored Rose whose only faults are a little weakness of the flower-stems and a slight tendency to mildew in damp weather. JACQUES PORCHER. HT. (P. Guillot, 1914.) A fight-colored Rose, combining delicately blended tints of carmine, saffron, and deep yellow; well shaped and mildly fragrant. Strong, upright growth, with foliage almost immune to disease, and very free flowering. One of the best all-round garden Roses, yielding a profusion of attractive, but somewhat variable flowers, usually of cutting quality. Especially valuable for its resistance to black-spot and mildew, even under adverse conditions. JANET. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1915.) Boldly modeled blooms of golden fawn, with coppery and rosy shades, becoming fighter with age; fragrant. The plants are tall, bearing many blooms on long, branching stems, very healthy, and free blooming in spring and fall. Close to Lady Pirrie in color and general habit, but the flowers are much fuller and of better shape. Good, robust growth, splendid foliage, resistant to black-spot; free flowering until late autumn. It is regrettable that this Rose is not better known, for it is a superb sort. JEAN C.N.FORESTIER. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1919.) Reddish buds, opening to fragrant, globular blooms of carmine, orange, and yellow, freely produced on vigorous plants. Flowers are not always well shaped but gen- erally an attractive color. J. F. BARRY. HT. (Piper, 1912.) Medium-sized flowers of fight daffodil-yellow on dwarf, spreading plants with particularly dark and glossy leaves. A sport of Arthur R. Goodwin, which it resembles in all respects but color. J. G. GLASSFORD. See page 43. JONKHEER J. L. MOCK. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1908.) Carmine buds of gigantic size, opening very slowly to enormous blooms of deep carmine- pink against which the reflexing petals show an inner surface of silver-rose. Plant strong and healthy. A massive Rose of marvelous substance, noted for its great size, doubleness, and strong coloring. It is very likely to ball in all but the most favor- able weather, and the midsummer bloom is rather shy. JOSEPH HILL. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1903.) Cop- pery buds and salmon-pink flowers of very fine form and fragrance. Plant very strong at times and quite free flowering. One of the most beautiful Roses, but its growth is erratic and it needs attention to form a well-balanced plant. JULIET. See page 43. 22 E VERBLOOMING ROSES Rutherford, Mew Jersey KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. HT. (P. Lam- bert, 1891.) Well-formed, creamy buds which develop slowly to blooms of absolutely perfect form, snowy white with a slight tint of lemon at center; fragrant. Plant moderately vigorous, free-blooming, and hardy. A standard old variety, indispensable among white garden Roses. It is not notably strong in habit, but that is a small defect when com- pared to the extreme loveliness of its blooms. KILLARNEY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1898.) Long-pointed buds, opening to flat, bright sparkling pink blooms with enormous petals. Vigorous grower and very free flowering. For many years a very popular greenhouse and garden sort. Now it is somewhat frowned upon, but is still good. KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Brilliant dark pink buds and flowers of Killarney type. Excellent in growth and bloom. A darker Killarney, discarded by many because of mildew in damp regions. KILLARNEY, DOUBLE WHITE. HT. (J. A. Budlong & Son Co., 1912.) Very long-pointed buds of the typical Killarney form, but snowy white. Open blooms beautifully formed, with a few more petals than the original variety. One of the good white Roses for the garden and a favorite for cut-flowers. It is not so free blooming as Killarney, but the flowers are fuller and larger. Some mildew at times but not serious in dry localities. KILLARNEY QUEEN. HT. (J. A. Budlong & Son Co., 1912.) Another Killarney, closer to the original in color but a little fuller, and, perhaps, stronger in growth. Very free flowering. If we did not know better, we would not class this Rose with the Killarney group. It is practically immune to mildew, with large flowers and thick petals. The Killarney Roses are most beautiful in bud and for its great beauty in that respect this Rose fully deserves the name “Queen/’ It is doubler and more distinct than either Killarney or Killarney Brilliant. KILLARNEY, WHITE. HT. (Waban Rose Con- servatories, 1909.) A pure white sport of the original Killarney, identical in shape of bud, petalage, and blooming qualities. This Rose, with Double White Killarney, are among the good, pure white, garden Roses. K. OF K. (Kitchener of Khartoum.). HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1917.) Brilliant scarlet-red buds and open, semi-double flowers of blazing red with a blackish velvet sheen; fragrant. Plants vigorous and ex- tremely free flowering throughout the season. A larger flower than Red-Letter Day, with a few more petals. The color is very similar and fades lighter instead of bluing. A decorative garden Rose, particularly useful for either low hedges or massing but we do not know that it is a great deal better than Red-Letter Day. KONIGIN CAROLA. HT. (Turke, 1904.) Very large, pointed buds, opening to fully double blooms of satin-rose with silvery reflexes; slightly fragrant. Bush is very vigorous, with abundant healthy foliage. A dependable bloomer. It is surprising that this Rose is so little known for it is one of the easiest grown and most free- flowering varieties. The immense blooms, good in bud, make it good for all purposes. KOOTENAY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1917.) Beautiful blooms of large size and rounded form with petals of good substance, white shaded primrose. Vigorous plant, erect, and a profuse bloomer. Bloom somewhat larger than Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria, which it resembles in form and color. Not widely tested and practically unknown LA CHAMPAGNE. HT. (Barbier & Co., 1919.) Large buds a id medium-sized, semi-double (25 petals), blooms peach-colored with yellow base. Vigorous plant. The buds are especially lovely, and the stiff stems hold the flowers erect,even after heavy rains. LA FRANCE. HT. (P. Guillot, 1867.) Bright pink flowers with curled petr.ls showing silvery tints; in- tensely fragrant. Plant strong and reasonably healthy. A Rose of unforgettable fragrance and beauty. The oldest Hybrid Tea Rose and the starting- point of modern sorts which are better, but La France will always be wanted by people who like the older Roses. LA TOSCA. HT. (Mme. Schwartz, 1900.) Bright silvery pink blooms with a fairly full and somewhat darker center; fragrant. The plant is exceptionally free flowering and almost as vigorous as a Hybrid Perpetual. Its foliage is attractive and resistant to diseases; hardy as Lady Ursula. Flowers are a little loose and apt to ball in great heat but a fine decorative Rose. The vigorous canes should be cut back about one- third in late summer, to induce fall bloom. LADY ALICE STANLEY. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) Massive buds and blooms of very large size, fully double and very sweet; outside of petals coral- rose, inside pale flesh-pink. A strong-growing, free- blooming plant with broad, deeply veined leaves unusually free from disease. One of the very best and most dependable Roses for both bedding and cutting, producing throughout the season a profusion of stately blooms on erect, symmetrical plants. Should be planted in every garden. LADY ASHTOWN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1904.) Satiny buds and blooms of deep shining pink, with a yellow glow at base of petals; high center, double, and quite fragrant. Plant is strong, free blooming, and hardy, but needs protection against disease. A good, old standard sort so well and favorably An ovoid bud EVERBLOOMING ROSES cROSeS hy Bohhink fLAtfons boo that it needs no recommendation. It is one of the best for garden decoration, and the buds open well and keep long when cut. LADY CRAIG. HT. (H. Dickson, 1921.) Perfectly formed, tapered buds of yellow-cream, opening slowly into exquisite creamy blooms tinted yellow in the center. Plant of moderate growth. Most beautiful in bud and half open, of dis- tinct and admirable form; stems slender but not weak. A most charming Rose. $1.50 each. LADY DIXON. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1919.) Semi-double, globular flowers of apricot-yellow, flushed with salmon-pink; fragrant. Strong, branch- ing growth; blooms profusely. A desirable bedding Rose with blooms of good size and color; valuable for cutting. LADY GREENALL. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Creamy white flowers shaded orange, saffron, and pink. A fairly good plant of moderate blooming qualities. Blooms are not large, but very beautifully formed. The coloring is exquisite. LADY HILLINGDON. T. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) Slender, pointed buds and elegantly cupped flowers of deep saffron-yellow, paling toward the edges and becoming lighter as they expand; fragrant. The plant is erect, with perfect foliage, but rather tender. Hardier than most Teas, but requires careful protection. Flower-stems are weak in hot weather, but sufficiently strong in fall. Very free flowering and lovely. It requires and repays good feeding and attention. LADY MARY WARD. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1913.) Pointed buds and double blooms of orange and apricot, paling as they open to pale yellow with coppery shades; very sweet. Branching, slanting growth with fair foliage. Almost a pure Tea in flower and habit. Balls a little and is somewhat tender. LADY PIRRIE. HT. (H. Dickson, 1910.) Delightful, buds which open quickly to semi-double flowers with large, frilled petals varying in color from coppery fawn to pale pink; not very fragrant. Plant very good, blooming in immense trusses; healthy and hardy. A charming Rose of fleeting color and too few petals, but so free flowering and willing to grow that it is indispensable for the garden. The flowers must be taken early if wanted for cutting. LADY PLYMOUTH. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Ivory buds and blooms of tapering form and petals of excellent substance, with some fragrance. Plant is strong, with foliage impervious to disease. A Tea Rose of almost perfect form and habit. It is without fault except that it needs careful protection in zero weather. LADY URSULA, HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1908.) Well-shaped buds and blooms of good substance in varying shades of light pink, merg- ing to a yellow base; slightly fragrant. Plant of tremendous growth, fgood foliage, and very free flowering. Globular bud Indispensable for garden decoration and quite attractive when cut. Should be planted with only the strongest-growing Roses or shrubs — 3 to 5 feet is its normal growth. One of the healthiest, hardiest, and best blooming Roses. LAURENT CARLE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) Gigantic oval buds and blooms of deep, glowing carmine-crimson, perfectly formed and pungently fragrant. Plant of average growth, with foliage requiring the usual attention. It blooms freely throughout the season. A splendid Rose of very clear and pure color, and the most satisfying form. The plant is none too vigorous and the flower-stems are short, but strong enough for cutting, and it keeps well. LIEUTENANT CHAURE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1910.) Large, pointed buds and cupped blooms of brilliant garnet-crimson; moderately fragrant. Plant grows well and is only slightly susceptible to the usual Rose troubles. Its growth is rather dwarf and the open flower lacks petals, but the color is clear and distinct — one of the best shades in bedding Roses. All in all, it must be reckoned with as one of the finest red garden Roses. LORD CHARLEMONT. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) Deep crimson, well-formed, high-centered and fragrant blooms. Moderately bushy plant. A new red Rose which has been very much talked about but is not very well known. It certainly is worthy of serious trial. $1.50 each. LOS ANGELES. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1913.) Very lovely buds and exquisite flowers of salmon - pink, with yellow shading, and very sweetly per- fumed. In favored locations the plant is of excellent habit, with good foliage and blooms well, but it is not uniformly successful. An exceedingly beautiful Rose, splendid in California and almost always good in the East the first year, but subject to black-spot and dying back during its second season. It is really so beautiful that it is worth setting out new plants of it each year. LOUISE CATHERINE BRESLAU. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1912.) Remarkably bright buds and blooms of reddish orange, paling to fight orange with age. Opens to large, globular flowers, fairly full, and without much fragrance. The bush is spreading and dwarf; foliage very beautiful, almost holly-like and considerably better than Los Angeles. Needs the usual preventives against Rose enemies, and the stems are seldom long enough to make a good cut-flower. A very attractive Rose for the garden. LOUISE JOLY. Per. (E. Buatois, 1923.) Elongated buds, opening well, eoral-red shaded shrimp-pink and saffron; flower capucine-lake, shaded reddish salmon and orange-yellow, large, full, cupped. Vigorous growth and very floriferous. Another seedling of Mme. Edouard Herriot, offering a fuller flower than the type and a mar- velous assortment of colors. $1.50 each. 24 E VERBLOOMING ROSES J^iherford, J/ew Jersep LULU. HT. (W. Easlea, 1919.) Splendid buds of great length and delicacy of form, brilliantly shaded orange-pink and copper, borne on fine stems. The open flower is flat and almost single but retains the color well. Bush is very vigorous, free flowering, and highly resistant to disease. Valuable for its lovely buds which are ex- quisite for cutting, but also highly decorative in the garden if allowed to open on the plant. Some mildew in unfavorable regions. MABEL DREW. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Magnificent buds and well-modeled double flowers of creamy white with a yellowish center; only slightly fragrant. Moderately strong plant of irregular habit, not altogether free from disease. A very beautiful Rose which demands extra care to bring out its best qualities. It is splen- did for cutting and exhibition, but hardly free flowering enough for a good garden decorative. MABEL MORSE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) Clear, unstained yellow buds and well-shaped, fragrant flowers. Spreading, bushy growth and liberal bloom. Foliage remarkable for its beauty and resistance to disease. Very beautiful buds and flowers but the growth is generally unsatisfactory. If it had the habit of Souvenir de Claudius Pernet, it would be the perfect yellow Rose. MAMA LAMESCH. HT. (P. Lambert, 1922.) Large, well-poised blooms of orange-rose with a touch of Herriot color at center; slightly fragrant. Very upright and stiff growth. Foliage glossy and seldom troubled by disease. A moderate bloomer. The color here is a more pronounced salmon- pink. Flower-stem rigid, supporting the massive bloom without bending. A little-known pink Rose of the better sort, with plenty of firm, well- placed petals of fine substance. $1.50 each. MAMAN COCHET. T. (P. Cochet, 1892.) Carmine- pink, double blooms of fine form and substance, creamy buff at the center. Spreading, wiry growth; free blooming and very hardy for a Tea Rose. Grows very large in favorable climates but is usually dwarf in the North. Foliage never troubled by disease and a splendid fall bloomer, especially budded plants. MAMAN COCHET, WHITE. T. (J. Cook, 1896.) A white form of Maman Cochet, but often flushed with pink on the outer petals. Foliage equally good and the plant just as hardy and free flowering. One of the very best Teas for northern gardens. The blooms are seldom imperfect and the stems are strong for cutting. MANIFESTO. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1920.) Long, pointed buds and exquisitely shaped double blooms of flesh-pink, tinged salmon; fragrant. Plant is vigorous and branching, flowering freely through- out the season. An exhibition Rose, recommended abroad for bedding and garden decoration. Practically un- tested in this country. MARGARET DICKSON HAMILL. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1915.) Globular blooms of straw-yellow with large, shell-like petals and some fragrance. Plant is strong, free flowering, and dependably free from black-spot and mildew. Not a very well-shaped bloom, but attractive in color and of excellent constitution and habit for a garden Rose. MARGARET M. WYLIE. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1921.) Light flesh, deeply flushed with pink at edge of petals, which are of fine substance; fragrant. Plant fairly strong and free flowering, with dark green foliage. Comparatively new and untried in this country. The bud is of great depth and beauty, holding its perfect form a long time before opening, which makes it splendid for cutting purposes. It also has distinct possibilities as a garden Rose. MARIE VAN HOUTTE. T. (Ducher, 1871.) Lemon- yellow flowers of good size, darker in center, edged rose; well formed and fragrant. Plant strong, but liable to freeze back in the North. A favorite old Tea Rose which makes huge bushes where it does not kill back. Recommended for mild climates. MARQUISE DE GANAY. HT. (P. Guiflot, 1909.) Silvery rose buds and double blooms of fair size, excellent shape, and sweetly perfumed. Growth is very fine; foliage rather sparse but enduring; blooms well and is one of the hardiest of the Hybrid Teas. A good, all-round garden Rose, whose only serious fault is a tendency of the buds to ball in continued wet weather. Its good stems and excellent keeping qualities make it fine for cutting. MARQUISE DE SINETY. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) Golden yellow buds and double blooms shaded with bronze-red; deliciously fragrant. Plant short, stubby in growth; a fair bloomer with excellent foliage; its hardiness varies. Very beautiful color but the plant is tricky, needing very careful attention. Nevertheless, it is a much-admired and very popular Rose. MARTHA DREW. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1921.) Flower orange-cream, with rosy center, beautifully pointed and carried upright; sweetly scented. A truly striking, distinct Rose but none too vigorous or free-flowering. $1.50 each. 25 MARY, COUNTESS OF ILCHESTER. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1909.) Large, double blooms of deep rose-pink, full cupped form, and quite fragrant. Plant bushy and blooms freely, notably hardy. A noble garden Rose which is splendid for cutting. Someone has stated “what a wonder- fully popular Rose this would be if its name were shortened to s i m p 1 y ‘Countess Mary/ ” High-center edW^ type of bloom EVERBLOOMING ROSES hy Bohhinh & Atkins MIDNIGHT SUN. HT. (Grant, 1921.) Large buds and almost single flowers of dark maroon-red, slightly fragrant and very lasting. A very vigorous grower with strong, disease-resistant foliage. A descendant of Red-Letter Day, originated in Australia. Its very vigorous growth gives it the habit of an everblooming half climber, which could be used as a pillar, like the Pemberton Roses. MINNIE SAUNDERS. HT. (Elisha J. Hicks, 1921.) A dazzling, bright scarlet flower of open, semi-double form and slight fragrance. Plant vigorous, branch- ing, with average foliage and very free flowering. A little-known decorative sort of merit because of the freedom with which its brilliant flowers are produced. $1.50 each. MISS ALICE DE ROTHSCHILD. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1910.) Light canary, double, well-formed flowers, deepening to yellow at the center and fairly fragrant. The plant is erect, vigorous, and free flowering, but not reliably hardy in the North. A beautiful Tea Rose suitable for general planting. In the fall it will produce a large crop of perfect flowers. It needs a little more pro- tection than the Hybrid Teas but will amply repay it. MISS C.E. VAN ROSSEM. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Velvety dark red, well-formed buds and open flowers of nearly the same shade, reinforced with scarlet and black; somewhat fragrant. Plant low, free flowering, and needs protection against black-spot. A good bedding and buttonhole Rose, the blooms being very freely produced to compensate for their lack of size. Heat fades the color but it improves immediately with cooler weather. Best in autumn. MISS CYNTHIA FORDE. HT. (H. Dickson, 1909.) Sparkling pink, very double, perfectly formed flowers, with each petal sharply outlined and pointed with a thin, light edge, very fragrant. Plant is of strong growth, erect in habit, liberal with its flowers, and reasonably healthy. A Rose of the utmost dependability and ser- vice. One of the best for garden decoration and cut-flowers. Just as satisfactory as the Radiance type and has much more character in its shape. Excellent in fall. MISS LOLITA ARMOUR. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1919.) Burnished buds and creamy copper flowers with a reddish orange tinge; fully double, cupped, and fragrant. The plant is strong but the foliage is not, and the flower-stems are weak. A Rose of unique col- oring and very attract- ive form, but it is faulty in many respects. It requires considerable skill to grow it well, and will only disappoint the beginner. A connois- seur’s Rose. •W&Globular bloom MISS WILLMOTT. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1916.) Perfectly formed white flowers of enormous size with an occasional touch of cream or faint pink. A good plant and one of the most persistent of bloomers, especially in hot weather. This is the almost perfect white Rose. It never balls in heat or wet, and keeps everlastingly in bloom. Its foliage is not the best, but we can overlook that for its other excellent qualities. MLLE. SIMONE BEAUMEZ. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) Very fine buds and flowers of salmony white, sometimes deepening to orange in the center; mildly fragrant. Stiff, erect growth, with average foliage. A Rose of very beautiful color and form, sufficiently floriferous for garden use. Needs the usual preventives against disease. MME. ABEL CHATENAY. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1894.) Light pink blooms, shaded salmon and carmine, of charming form. Plant grows erratically and foliage is only fair. One of the most popular of all Roses. The flowers are beautiful but rather small. MME. ANDRE CHARMET. HT. (J. Croibier & Fils., 1921.) Large, ovoid buds and full, cupped flowers of soft shell-pink, borne singly on stiff stems. Vigorous. A beautiful flower of the Souv. de la Mal- maison type, but a different color. Needs cool, dry weather to open well. $1.50 each. MME. ANTOINE MARI. T. (Mari, 1901.) Flesh- colored blooms, opening with lilac and rose shadings, and very well-formed; somewhat fragrant. Plant strong, with remarkably healthy and persistent foliage, and a profuse bloomer throughout the season. Hardy for a Tea. Flowers are small and discolor badly in the fall but are rather pleasing at times. Recom- mended for mild, dry regions. MME. BARDOU JOB. HT. (Dubreuil, 1914.) Canary-yellow, deepening to chrome at center of the elegantly shaped buds. The open flower is cupped, lighter in color, and somewhat fragrant. Plant sturdy and fairly free blooming. A pale yellow Rose which is especially good when cut in the bud state. It does not bloom as freely as it might in midsummer but is very liberal in the spring and fall. MME. BUTTERFLY. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1918.) Fine, light pink buds and flowers, tinted with gold near the base of the petals, of exquisite shape and richly perfumed. Plant is strong, throwing up big branching sprays of bloom. Early in the season its buds are likely to be marred by heat, but soon assume their absolutely perfect form. A better Rose than Ophelia from which it sprang, especially in the fall. MME. CARISTIE MARTEL. HT. ^Pernet-Ducher, 1917.) Gigantic blooms of pure, light yellow with enormous petals symmetrically arranged. Plant is very vigorous and a fair bloomer. Remarkable for its size — blooms normally 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Best in a dry season as the big petals ball in dampness. 26 EVERBLOOMING ROSES Rutherford, Mew Jersey MME. CAROLINE TESTOUT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1890.) Large, globular flowers of satiny rose, shaded lighter toward the outer edge of its enormous petals; fairly fragrant. Plant strong, and a persistent bloomer, but foliage requires usual protection. One of the best-known and liked of all Roses. In Portland, Ore., it is planted by the thousands along the streets between the curbs and side- walks. An old Rose that is hard to beat. MME. C. CHAMBARD. HT. (Chambard, 1911.) Long, slender buds on stiff stems, opening into large, full flowers of rosy flesh, shaded salmon and saffron, with deep yellow at the base of the petals. Vigorous and free flowering. A sweetly-scented seedling from Frau Karl Druschki, carrying a measure of that Rose’s fine quality, but not of such gigantic growth. MME. CHARLES LUTATJD. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1912. ) Well-formed, globular blooms of chrome- yellow, blending to scarlet-rose at margin of petals. Plant of moderate growth and blooming qualities. A Rose of the Marquise de Sinety type with larger growth and more intense color. Should be carefully protected in severe climates. MME. COLETTE MARTINET. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1915.) Golden buds and medium-sized blooms with old-gold centers and lighter edges. Branching and free-flowering plants. A rather small buttonhole and bedding Rose of exquisite shape and color. MME. EDMEE METZ. HT. (Soupert & Notting, 1900.) Well-formed, fragrant flowers of rosy carmine, shaded salmon, borne by very fine, vigorous plants with a splendid profuse-blooming habit and first- class foliage. A standard bedding variety which produces a great many excellent but rather small flowers. It is especially good late in the fall. MME. EDMOND GILLETT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher. 1921.) Long, deeply cupped flowers of orange- carmine, shaded with yellow, borne profusely on a large, strong plant. A particularly fine and useful Rose, after the general style of Marquise de Sinety. $1.50 each. MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913. ) Sparkling buds of coral-red and orange, opening to large, semi-double flowers of inde- scribably brilliant orange-red and salmon. Plant is moderately strong, very free flowering, and requires usual protection against black-spot. One of the most brilliantly colored Roses known, although rather lacking in petals. Its stems are not always strong, and its color fades somewhat, but it holds its place as the best Rose of its type. MME. JENNY GILLEMOT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1905.) Slender, long-pointed buds, opening to a very large, half-double bloom of pale yellow. A very vigorous plant, with foliage of the best type. A lovely Rose whose chief faults are a lack of petals in the open flower and too few blooms in midsummer. MME. JULES BOUCHE. HT. (Croibier & Son, 1911.) Superb white flowers, shaded light blush at center; fragrant. Plant exceptionally strong, healthy, and very free flowering. Bushier and taller than Miss Willmott, but its flowers are not so large. A much better bloomer and grower than Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria, and more suitable for bedding with other Hybrid Teas than Frau Karl Druschki. MME. JULES GROLEZ. HT. (P. Guillot, 1897.) Bright china-rose blooms of pointed, pyramidal shape, and fair fragrance. Plant spreading, liberal with its bloom, and almost immune to Rose diseases. In its very double, long-lasting bloom and perfect foliage, it resembles a Tea Rose, but is quite hardy and dependable. Its chief defect is its rather commonplace color which blues after the flower opens, but a fine bedding Rose for all that. MME. LEON PAIN. HT. (P. Guillot, 1904.) Splendid salmon buds and pink blooms of great size, tinted heavily with silvery flesh and orange at the center; fragrant. Plant is very vigorous, branching, free flowering, and almost immune to disease. A bedding Rose of the highest quality in all respects. The blooms are perfect in color, shape, and endurance. The foliage is unsurpassed and in blooming it is exceeded by no Rose equal to it in beauty. One of the best Roses grown and a general favorite. MME. MARCEL DELANNEY. HT. (M. Leenders & Co., 1916.) Clear, silvery blooms, lightly shaded with lilac, exquisitely formed and fragrant. Plant is moderately vigorous, with average foliage and fair blooming qualities. There is no lovelier Rose in cultivation than this, but it does not bloom very freely at times. Best in early fall. MME. MEHA SABATIER. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1917.) Brilliant, bright crimson, almost scarlet; flowers large, semi-double and informal in shape. The plant branches vigorously, producing its blooms abundantly throughout the season. The foliage is persistent and seldom affected by disease. At its best in beds and masses where it makes a stunning effect because its color does not blue. The white line which appears in the inner petals at times adds much to its brilliance. MME. MELANIE SOUPERT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1905.) Extremely large buds of the most elegant form, salmon-yellow, touched with coppery pink. The pale yellow flowers are enormous, semi-double, with waxy petals of the heaviest sub- stance. A tall, spare plant, quite free flowering, but not always resistant to disease. One of the most beautiful of Roses in bud and half 27 Informal or cactusW^* type of bloom EVERBLOOMING ROSES BIOSes hp Bobhink QAthins open, but it often fails to produce them freely in the fall. It needs careful protection in a severe climate. MME. POINCARE. HT. (M. Gravereaux, 1919.) Pale pink and salmon, deepening to yellow at center of the well-shaped, graceful flowers; not very fragrant. Plant is moderately strong, with good foliage and an excellent continuous blooming habit. Resembles Antoine Rivoire in form and Ophelia hi color, but wholly different from either, in growth. The correct name of this variety is La Rose de la Mme. Raymond Poincare which is unreasonable. Usage has sanctioned the shorter form. MME. RAVARY. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1899.) Orange buds of fine size and shape which open to cup-shaped semi-double flowers of golden cream and fawn; sweetly perfumed. Plant low, branching, free flowering, but foliage could be better. A bedding Rose of charming habit and holds its color better than most of the Hybrid Teas of its type. Its weakest point is its foliage, which needs the usual protection from black-spot in ordinary seasons. MME. SEGOND WEBER. HT. (Soupert & Net- ting, 1908.) Splendid buds and very double, per- fectly formed flowers of bright rose-pink, with salmon shades in the center. The plant is robust and tall, free flowering, but foliage needs protection. A Rose of faultless form in bud and bloom but the color often bleaches in heat. Makes a fine bed and has good stems for cutting. At its best in cool seasons and late fall. MRS. AARON WARD. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) Delightful little buds of golden buff, opening to fully double, attractively shaped flowers of tawny gold and pink, with an agreeable fragrance. The plant is dwarf, spreading, with very healthy holly- like foliage, and always in bloom. A standard sort for garden and cutting and buttonhole. Flowers small in heat and the color fades to light pink, otherwise it is almost perfect. Under high cultivation the blooms are much larger and more intensely colored. MRS. ALFRED TATE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) Coppery salmon buds and flowers, shaded with fawn; very fragrant. A vigorous garden Rose. A bright, half-double flower of much charm, which ought to be better known. MRS. AMBROSE RICARDO. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) Very large, full blooms of pale pink and light yellow, of firm, incurved form, and some fra- grance. The plant is usually very strong, exceedingly floriferous, but not entirely resistant to disease. One of the finest and very largest of all Roses. Its enormous blooms improve in color and tex- ture and keep for days after being cut. Its growth is often a little erratic and its foliage needs protection. Not a Rose of long life but so distinct that it is worth planting every year. MRS. AMY HAMMOND. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1911.) Cream and amber flowers of medium size, sometimes lightly flushed with pink, apricot at base of petals; mildly fragrant. Plant grows and blooms moderately well, and foliage is resistant to disease. An attractive Rose, suitable for either bedding or cutting, and generally satisfactory. MOLLY BLIGH. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1917.) Deep pink, with an orange halo at base of petals; very sweetly perfumed. Plant branching and vigor- ous, producing its blooms abundantly. Notable for its well-formed spiral buds and flowers, and excellent growth and blooming. We think it is pretty fine. MOLLY SHARMAN-CRAWFORD. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1908.) Greenish white buds of charming shape, opening to full snowy flowers of delicate fragrance. A very hardy Tea and very lovely, but the plant is not always strong, yet it produces large bunches of flowers on the stem. MORGENGLANS. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1916.) Slender, coppery orange buds, and blooms which open salmon-flesh, semi-double and somewhat fragrant. The plant is notably tall, bushy, and prolific in bloom, with abundant healthy foliage. A charming decorative Rose for bedding and mass effects. Its bright color is rather fleeting and the flowers do not last long, but the con- stantly opening buds keep the plant always cheerful with sparkling color. ■'WdThe cupped type 28 MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE. HT. (Cocker & Sons, 1913.) Large, creamy white flowers of good form and slightly fragrant. Plant fairly strong and a moderate bloomer. A beautiful but not always vigorous Rose, usually at its best in the autumn if there is not much rainy weather. MRS. ARCHIE GRAY. HT. (H. Dickson, 1914.) Creamy white flowers, often deepening to canary- yellow; petals large and of fine substance; sweetly perfumed. Plant is fairly free in growth and bloom, and foliage needs the usual black-spot preventives. A pretty cutting or bedding Rose which needs to be well protected in severe climates. MRS. ARTHUR E. COXHEAD. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1911.) Deep rose-pink or light crimson blooms of fine form and large size, noted for their fragrance. The plant is very vigorous and productive. The flowers are occasionally purplish, a fault outweighed by the excellent form and fragrance, especially late in the autumn. MRS. ARTHUR ROBERT WADDELL. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1908.) Beautiful, tapering buds of yellowish copper, opening to nearly single, cupped blooms of bronze-pink and apricot, with a delicate, delicious perfume. The plant is rampant, branching, and very free flowering. The foliage is better than the average. A splendid decorative Rose for borders or massing, whose fleeting blooms are produced 1 Chateau de Clos Vougeot 2 Edel 3 President Wilson 4 Charles K.

They improve in substance and deepen in color with the approach of cool weather, becoming superb in the fall. MRS. BECKWITH. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1922.) Long, deep yellow buds, opening to medium-sized, fairly full blooms of strong lemon-yellow, paling to white at edges; somewhat fragrant. Plant is of moderate, erect growth, with healthy foliage. A clear, unfading yellow Rose of the type of Souvenir de Claudius Pernet, with fewer thorns and without the disagreeable center which disfigures Claudius. The foliage is very healthy for a Rose of its class. $1.50 each. See illustra- tion in color facing page 20. MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE. HT. (U. S. Cut-Flower Co., 1924.) Clear buff-yellow flowers, suffused with orange in the center; of medium size, well formed, double, and of some fragrance. A sport of Ophelia, resembling that variety somewhat, except in color. A much better Rose indoors than in the open ground. MRS. CHARLES BELL. HT. (Mrs. Charles Bell, 1917.) Lovely shell-pink buds and blooms of fine globular form with shadings of soft salmon; sweetly perfumed. The plant is notably strong and bushy, bearing good foliage seldom attacked by disease. A softer, finer color than Radiance, which it resembles in almost all other respects, and should be equally popular. It does not bloom as freely as Radiance, but all Roses cannot be expected to do that. MRS. CHARLES E. RUSSELL. HT. (A. Mont- gomery, 1913.) Rosy carmine flowers of large size and fine globular form, double to center and fragrant. Plant is sturdy and erect, only fairly free flowering. A florists’ Rose of magnificent form and size under glass. Outdoors it is fairly good but rather sparing of its bloom. MRS. CHARLES LAMPLOUGH. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1920.) Massive cream and lemon blooms of irreproachable form and substance, borne very freely on tall stems and a vigorous, healthy plant. Originally thought suitable for exhibition only, but promises to be a fine white bedding variety. MRS. CURNOCK SAWDAY. HT. (E. J. Hicks, 1920.) Long, pointed buds and double, high-centered flowers of pale, blush-pink, with a satin sheen; slight fra- grance. Growth vigorous and foliage of average type. A very handsome flower of appealing form and color, recalling the exquisite refinement of Mrs. George Shawyer. It is not as floriferous as might be, and it needs watching to prevent mildew. MRS. C. W. DUNBAR-BULLER. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1919.) Very large, well-formed blooms of deep rosy carmine, exquisitely shaded and perfumed. An upright bushy sort of good bedding quality and usually suitable for cutting. MRS. DUDLEY CROSS. T. (W. Paul & Son, 1907.) Pale yellow blooms of medium size, sometimes flushed with pink, full, well-formed, and lightly fragrant. Plant vigorous, moderately free flowering, and hardy. Flowers last a long time when cut. A very hardy Tea Rose, especially recommended for dry climates where there is no mildew. MRS. FRANKLIN DENNISON. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1915.) White blooms of unusual substance, sometimes lightly shaded pink and deepening to yellow at base of petals. Plant is very vigorous and free flowering. A strong-growing garden variety producing an abundance of lovely flowers for cutting, but needs careful protection against black-spot. MRS. GEORGE MARRIOTT. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1918.) Very large, long-pointed buds and flowers of perfect proportions, tinted •with deep cream and pearl and flushed with rose. Plant dwarf but strong, blooming abundantly throughout the season. Primarily a Rose for fine specimen blooms but produces enough of them to make an excellent garden plant. Has not been widely planted in America, and should be thoroughly tested by those seeking the most beautiful flowers. MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER. HT. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1911.) Long, slender, finely formed buds, opening to very large, perfectly formed flowers of clear, brilliant rose. Plant is vigorous and blooms very freely. A very beautiful Rose but very subject to mildew. Recommended for dry climates or gardens which receive careful treatment to prevent it. MRS. HENRY MORSE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) A bright flower of twro contrasting tones of pink, with an underlying yellow glow; double, high- centered, large, moderately fragrant. Plant tall and branching; foliage a little sparse. Very free blooming and has proved quite hardy. The very best of the new improved pink Roses. The color resembles Jonkheer J. L. Mock, and it could replace that bull-headed old variety with much gain to garden beauty. In fact we could conscientiously state that all the good qualities of Mme. Caroline Testout, Jonkheer J. L. Mock, and Lady Ashtown are combined in this Rose. See illustration in color facing page 29. MRS. HERBERT STEVENS. T. (S. McGredy & Son, 1910.) Finely shaped, double white flowers tinted with pale lemon at center and sweetly per- fumed. Growth moderate, blooms well, and is hardy for a Tea. Very beautiful and extremely free flowering. The plant is sometimes an astonishingly strong grower. We recommend this variety as one of the best white everblooming Roses. MRS. H. R. DARLINGTON. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1920.) Pale, creamy or pure white blooms of enormous size, faultless form, and some fragrance. Strong stems and of fairly free-blooming habit. Perfect flowers 8 inches in diameter have been reported but we never saw any. It has a very lovely shape, however. $1.50 each. 29 The flat type of bloom EVERBLooMiNG roses by Bohhink fjAtkins MRS. HUGH DICKSON. HT. (H. Dickson, 1915.) Deep cream flowers of lovely outline, suffused with apricot; fragrant. Moderately strong and free. Superbly beautiful for all purposes, but it is not an easy Rose to grow, yet with careful cultivation it will give splendid results. MRS. JAMES WILLIAMSON. HT. (H. Dickson, 1922.) Clear shell-pink blooms without shading, large, full of petals, and exquisitely formed, with some fragrance. Plant vigorously branching and fairly continuous in bloom throughout the season. Handsome dark green foliage which is well retained. Here the color is lighter than the “Enchantress pink” ascribed to it by the introducer but never- theless attractive. Its chief defect is its slender flower-stem which is not always strong enough to support the heavy flowers. $1.50 each. MRS. J.C. AINSWORTH. HT. (Clarke Bros., 1918.) Pale pink, shaded mauve and white, well formed and fragrant. Plant fairly strong and free in bloom. A Rose from the Pacific Northwest, of distinct color but for some reason which we are unable to fathom nobody seems to take to it. MRS. J. F. REDLY. HT. (Originator unknown.) Large buds and blooms of pale flesh-pink, with a tint of salmon in center. Growth very vigorous and healthy. Apparently an HP. masquerading as an HT. Rather like Frau Karl Druschki in habit but not so much so in character of bloom. MRS. JOSEPH H. WELCH. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1911.) Brilliant rose-pink blooms of a few very large petals; sweetly perfumed. Plant is tall and fairly free. Flower-stems weak in hot weather, but is splendid in the cool weeks of autumn. MRS. MACKELLAR. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1915.) Delicate, light yellow, almost cream buds of perfect shape, opening to semi-double, fragrant flowers. Fair growth and bloom. Foliage excellent. In the bud it is one of the most delightful Roses known; the open flower is pretty but ought to have more petals. MRS. MONA HUNTING. HT. (Hugh Dickson, 1916.) Chamois-yellow buds, opening to pure fawn blooms of fair form and size. Plant of moderate growth and fairly free blooming. Foliage quite good. A prize for the gardener who is looking for beautiful Roses — not easy ones. MRS. PRENTISS NICHOLS. HT. (R. Scott & Sons, 1923.) Massive blooms of dark pink; moderately fragrant. Stiff, robust growth, splendid foliage, and fairly free flowering. It is one of the best American Roses. Foliage is superb; flowers imposing in their mas- siveness and substance. It is the best of the Premier group. The single type of bloom MRS. RAMON DE ESCOFET. HT. (W. Easlea, 1919.) Very large buds and blooms of intense crimson-flame, double and of exhibition form; fragrance not notable. Plant is vigorous, throwing up long flower-stems freely over a long season. Somewhat resembles George C. Waud in color, but the flowers are larger and a little better formed. The flower-stems are not always strong. Foliage seems to be very good, but mildew oc- casionally appears upon its thorns. MRS. S. T. WRIGHT. T. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Half-double flowers of old-gold and pink; slightly fragrant. Erect growth; liberal in bloom. A sport from Harry Kirk, with more intense coloring. Hardy for a Tea Rose. MRS. S. K. RINDGE. ITT. (Howard & Smith, 1919.) Long, yellow buds, striped with red, opening to a fairly full, distinctively formed yellowish flower becoming pink with age. Growth and bloom moderate. Color remarkable, but fades in hot sunshine; foliage is quite good, even for gardens heavily infested with mildew, but it does not live long. The plant goes back the second year, and produces only weak growth. In hot gardens this Rose should be tried in partial shade and given plenty of water. MRS. T. HILLAS. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Pure chrome-yellow buds and flowers unstained by any other color, deeply cupped and full. Plant is strong, with fair stems, and moderately free flowering. Flowers of much beauty but of no great endurance. Thrives under special care and feeding, requiring the usual protection from black-spot. MRS. WAKEFIELD CHRISTIE-MILLER. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1909.) Charming flowers of clear rose and light pink, with many fluffy, peony-like petals and a sweet perfume. The plant is strong, foliage healthy, and a moderate but dependable bloomer. A reliable and beautiful bedding Rose, bearing its very large flowers erect on stiff sturdy stems. A sort that appeals to the experienced grower more and more each season because of its cheer- ful and dependable disposition. If we were to select six Roses for plants, this would be one of them. Strange that it is not distributed more. It is an all-round satisfactory variety liked by everybody that grows it. MRS. WEMYSS QUIN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Medium-sized, pointed buds and cupped flowers moderately full of short crinkled petals. Strong, canary-yellow, paling lighter in heat and sometimes tinged with crimson on outer petals. Plant is of even, bushy growth with glossy foliage. A genuine treasure among yellow Roses. Not as deeply yellow as Souv. de Claudius Pernet, but sufficiently yellow to satisfy everyone, and the blooms are of uniform quality and splendid shape. A first-class Rose which has been over- looked too long. 30 EVERBLOOMING ROSES Ifeitlwr/ord, Mew Jersey MRS. WILLIAM C. EGAN. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1922.) Deep flesh-color, softly contrasted with a lighter shade of soft pink and a golden glow at the base of the petals; slightly fragrant. Very vigorous, branching plant with an excellent blooming habit. One of the splendid new pink Roses destined to replace older varieties. A distinctly superior Rose without being remarkably new in color. MY MARYLAND. HT. (J. Cook, 1908.) Full, well- shaped blooms of clear salmon-pink, with lighter edges; fragrant. Bush upright, strong, and a liberal bloomer. An excellent garden Rose of extremely beauti- ful color and strong growth, but the foliage needs usual attention to prevent black-spot. NATALIE BOTTNER. HT. (J. Bottner, 1910.) Creamy blooms of fine substance, with flesh and yellow shades; fragrant. Growth is excellent and foliage above the average. A splendid light-colored garden Rose which is surprisingly little known or appreciated. NATIONAL EMBLEM. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1915.) Dark crimson blooms, overlaid with velvety shades and vermilion, unusually well-formed for a red Rose, and fairly fragrant. Strong growth and abundant bloom. A very beautiful and deeply colored Rose with petals of heavy substance, making it fine for cutting as well as garden decoration. NEDERLAND. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1919.) Excellent buds, opening to very large, well- shaped blooms of deep, glowing red, borne on long, strong stems by vigorous free-flowering plants. A well-liked but little-known Rose of excellent bedding habit which produces blooms of fine quality for cutting and show specimens. NELLY VERSCHUREN. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1918.) Pointed buds and graceful flowers of clear yellow; fragrant. Free flowering; good growth. Almost unknown here but classed by Peter Lambert in Germany among the most beautiful. NERISSA. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) Pink buds and creamy double flowers, deepening to peach color at the center; mildly fragrant. Plant is conservative in both growth and bloom, and foliage needs protection. An attractive flower of a different and in- teresting color, but not an easy Rose for the inexperienced to grow. NILES COCHET. T. (California Nurseries Co., 1906.) Pointed buds and high-built blooms of cherry-red with a lighter center. Very free flowering, parti- cularly in autumn, and a vigorous, healthy grower. A sport of Maman Cochet, developing very brilliant hues at times. In our section the flow- ers are smaller than in California but it is fine in the South. NOBLESSE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1917.) Large, full flowers of primrose-yellow, shaded rose color in the center. Growth moderate, producing plenty of flowers on fine stems throughout the season. A very beautiful variety, scarcely known or tested in this country, and worthy of extended and careful trial. OPHELIA. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) A creamy white and pale pink bloom with a glint of golden yellow in the folds of its petals; very fragrant. Plant of very strong and spare habit, producing its bloom very liberally. A most lovely and famous Rose — one of the best in the world. Its faults are a tendency to produce malformed buds in very hot weather and its need for protection against black-spot. PADRE. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Copper- scarlet, with bright yellow at base of petals. Flowers semi-double, with fifteen to twenty, often curiously notched, petals. Erect, strong bush, with light yellow- green foliage; blooms with exceptional freedom. An extremely effective bedding Rose of the general type of Mme. Edouard Herriot, but taller, with better stem, intenser color, and does not fade. A distinctly vital Rose which is bound to be popular for years to come. It is especially showy and effective when massed in quantity, close together in a large bed. See illustration in color facing page 32. $1.50 each. PAX LABOR. HT. (C. Chambard, 1918.) Very double (50 petals), pale yellow blooms, deeper center. Vigorous, erect growth, and holds foliage well; fairly free flowering. Lighter color and stiller growth than Eldorado, which it resembles somewhat. $1.50 each. PHARISAER. HT. (Hinner, 1903.) Graceful buds and very well-shaped double blooms of white and rose-pink, shaded with silvery salmon; mildly fragrant. Better than average in growth, freedom of bloom, and foliage. One of the very good, reliable Roses with an especially attractive color and a fine, well- retained shape. Foliage needs usual protection. PREMIER. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1918.) Rich, dark pink flowers of full form, fine size, and pleasing fragrance, borne singly on stiff, almost thornless stems by a vigorous and robust plant with very fine disease-resistant foliage. A tremendously popular florists’ Rose which is prized by many growers outdoors. Its chief fault is its rather common color and shape. Gen- erally, it does not produce good flowers early, but fall bloom is perfect and abundant. PRESIDENT CHERIOUX. HT. (Pemet-Ducher, 1922.) Very large, salmon-pink blooms, with reddish buff shading and petals of lovely waxy texture; slightly fragrant. Splendid growth and liberal bloom. A new orange-pink Rose whose enormous, double blooms and very excellent habit insure it a lasting place among the choicest. 31 The imbricated type of bloom EVERBLOOMING ROSES htj BoMink §jithms PRESIDENT WILSON. HT. (W. Easlea, 1918.) Immense, bright pink blooms of exceedingly hand- some quality, with a luminous glow overspreading its petals, but not noticeably fragrant. Plant is branching and strong, quite liberal in blooming, but its foliage requires the customary protection. A beautiful Rose, slightly reminiscent of Willowmere, but a more bushy plant and a looser flower with a shade less salmon in the color. Has proved showy and dependable. See illustra- tion in color facing page 28. PRINCE DE BULGARIE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1902.) Large, well-pointed flowers of silvery flesh, shaded deeper in the center and tinted salmon and saffron. The plant is strong but spare in habit, blooms freely, and bears foliage of average quality. A well-known Rose of the Ophelia type but larger flower, distinct in its longer bud, bronzy red foliage, and the deep yellow hue which suf- fuses it in autumn. It blooms much more freely than Ophelia. PRINCE ENGELBERT CHARLES D’ARENBERG. HT. (Soupert & Notting, 1909.) Pointed buds and bright scarlet blooms of good form and size; fragrant. Moderate growth and fair blooming qualities. A well-known bedding Rose, valuable because its foliage is resistant to disease. The blooms are attractive but not lavishly produced. long time when cut. It has no serious faults and is by all comparisons the most popular American Rose. RED CROSS. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1910.) Large, semi-double blooms of rosy red, borne in sprays upon fairly vigorous, healthy plants. An interesting decorative Rose, just a little dif- ferent from the usual red bedding sorts. RED-LETTER DAY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Brilliant scarlet-red buds and almost single flowers of fair size, borne on plants of notable vigor with an extravagant abandon hard to equal. Splendid for massing or bedding. Scarcely good enough for cutting but bright and pretty in the garden; certainly red, not crimson. RED RADIANCE. HT. (Gude Bros., 1916.) An even better Rose than its parent. Radiance in habit, bearing big, globular flowers of deep rose-red on strong, individual canes which are freely produced all summer until frost. Foliage excellent. Ours is the darker of the two varieties called Red Radiance, and we think it is the better; its color is more nearly light crimson than red. RED STAR. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1918.) Large buds and semi-double blooms of clear, snappy red, with a few very wide petals, and some fragrance. The plant grows well and blooms very freely. Foliage is vigorous and healthy. QUEEN MARY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1913.) Pointed buds of fine canary-yellow and loose, flat flowers of pale petals with pinkish edges. Growth fair; very free flowering and resistant to disease. A charming little Rose of fleeting beauty but worth while for its profuse blooming qualities and delightful buds. QUEEN OF FRAGRANCE. HT. (Wm. Paul & Son, 1915.) Shell-pink, double blooms, tipped with silver, elegantly shaped and noted for fragrance. Plant of moderate growth and blooming quali- ties. Desirable in every garden for its intense fragrance. QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. HT. (E. J. Hicks, 1916.) Long, tapering buds and single to semi- double flowers of rich salmon-pink which are very freely produced by a strong, dwarf plant with light green, healthy foliage. A graceful, single Rose for those who like the type. It is especially suited for decorative effects either indoors or out. RADIANCE. HT. (J. Cook, 1908.) Brilliant rose- pink buds, opening to well- formed shining flowers with lighter tints on the reverse of the petals; globular in shape and very fragrant. The plant makes splendid growth, has wonderful blooming qualities. The easiest growing and most reliable pink Hybrid Tea Rose. It is splendid for bedding and lasts a The old-fashioned, type of bloom A superb decorative or massing Rose, much on the order of Red-Letter Day, K. of K., Red Cross, and several others, but distinguished by its big petals and somewhat softer color and texture. RENEE WILMART-URBAN. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1908.) Salmon-flesh flowers, edged with carmine, well-shaped, slightly fragrant, and borne singly on plants of moderate vigor. Beautiful in bud and flower, but the foliage requires the usual protective measures. REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS. HT. See page 8. REV. WILLIAMSON. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Long buds and large, full, globular coral-red flowers, shaded carmine. Vigorous spreading habit. Especially desirable for its beautiful color, richer than many similar varieties. $1.50 each. RICHMOND. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1905.) Crimson- scarlet buds and flowers of good size and form, bearing the real Damask perfume. Plant is moder- ately strong and very free flowering all season. Color varies, and it must be disbudded to produce fine flowers. Foliage needs protection against the usual Rose pests. It is a splendid cutting Rose if well grown and a good decorative under ordinary treatment. ROBERT HUEY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1911.) Pointed buds and full, very sweet flowers of carmine- red, with a whitish edge to its petals, borne freely and constantly on a fairly strong plant. A splendid garden Rose, remarkable for its free-flowering qualities, especially in hot weather. The color blues but is not unattractive. STANDARD OR TREE ROSES These ornamental Tree Roses relieve the flat appearance in the Rose-garden and allow the use of a larger number of varieties in gardens of limited space. They are less susceptible to mildew and black- spot, and many of the Pernetiana type do better on Standards for this reason. A stake on the sunny side will act as support and protection from hot sun. The height of these Roses runs from to 5 feet. We advise planting of Tree Roses in spring unless provisions can be made for storing same in coldframes, etc. Many of the following varieties are grown in limited quantities and for this reason we solicit early orders. Ask for directions for winter protection of standard Roses. Betty Charles K.

Dr. Van Fleet Excelsa Paul’s Scarlet Climber Dorothy Perkins Jacotte Sanders’ White Rutherford, J/ew Jersey everblooming roses ROBIN HOOD. HT. (E. G. Hill Co., 1912.) Medium- sized, full blooms of rosy scarlet, becoming crimson toward autumn; very fragrant. Plant is fairly strong and blooms liberally, with foliage of more than average quality. A florists’ Rose escaped to the garden. The shape of its flowers is not the best unless dis- budded and well fed, but does well as a decorative under ordinary care. ROSE MARIE. HT. (F. Domer & Sons Co., 1915.) Fragrant, clear rose-pink flowers of large size, borne freely on plants of notable vigor and health. A better Rose than many older pink sorts, quite distinct, and worth having in any planting — really one of the very finest Roses. SECRETARIS ZWART. HT. (G. A. Van Rossem, 1918.) Very attractive flowers of bright rose and salmon, shaded with silvery tints on reverse of petals. Plants are of notable vigor and liberal in blooming. The foliage is glossy and resistant to disease. When well-grown, the blooms are enormous, particularly in late autumn. A little-known Rose which gives promise of being adapted to our climate and merits wide planting and testing. SENATEUR MASCURAUD. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1909.) Slender, tapered buds, developing into large, light yellow flowers with richer tints at the center; mildly fragrant. Plant is of moderate growth and bloom, with average foliage. A very pretty Rose of lovely color and form which can be planted closer than the average because of its somewhat small growth. SENSATION. HT. (J. H. Hill Co., 1922.) Enormous scarlet-crimson blooms of fine deep form, double — 30 to 35 petals of great size and substance; very sweetly scented. Plant is strong and very active in sending up new blooming shoots. A superlatively beautiful florists’ Rose which is superb in the garden at times. Under unfav- orable conditions the blooms are ill-shaped, and purple petals appear among the red ones. In autumn, splendid blackish red. This Rose is steadily gaining in favor among the garden wise. $1.50 each. SERGE BASSET. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1918.) Smallish, very double flowers of deep garnet-red. Plant dwarf, wiry, and bushy. Free flowering and hardy. Not very notable for shape or size, but the color is attractive, even in its blued state. A fine bedding Rose, 12 to 18 inches high, whose compact growth and free-flowering habit highly commend it. SHOT SILK. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1924.) Medium-sized buds and flowers of coppery rose flushed and overshot with apricot and yellow; beautifully shaped in bud; opened flower cupped with slightly reflexed outer.petals; richly perfumed. Growth rather moderate; a fair bloomer. The extremely beautiful flowers are unique in color and intensely fragrant. So far it has not grown as vigorously as it ought, but possibly it will be better when once established. SOLEIL D’OR. See page 44. SOUVENIR DE CLAUDIUS PERNET. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1920.) Fine buds of fadeless yellow, paling somewhat toward the edge; beautiful when half open but not so good full-blown. Plant erect and strong; foliage glossy and disease-resistant. Blooms freely early and late. A popular greenhouse variety, supplying the long-wanted truly yellow Rose. It is generally good in the garden, and the disagreeable black center which disfigures the open flower may be prevented by removing the center bud from the clusters as they form. - See illustration in color facing page 29. SOUVENIR DE GABRIEL LUIZET. HT. (J. Croibier & Son, 1922.) Bud sulphur-yellow slightly tinted salmon, passing to deeper yellow when opening and straw-yellow when fully expanded, very large, full, opening well. Growth vigorously erect. Has petals of notable size and substance, and its strong stems make it an admirable Rose for cutting. Color is lighter here than described by the introducer, who calls it “A truly superb Rose which has created a sensation wherever it is seen.” $1.50 each. SOUVENIR DE GEORGE BECKWITH. HT. (Per- net-Ducher, 1919.) Immense, very double blooms of salmon-pink and yellow. Richly blended in petals of good substance; and moderately fragrant. Plant is erect, vigorously branching, and productive. A charming variety which is creating much en- thusiasm among Rose fanciers. It resembles the Lyon Rose very much but the flower is doubler and the foliage and habit of the plant are im- measurably superior. $1.50 each. SOUVENIR DE GEORGES PERNET. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1919.) Brick-red buds, opening to terra- cotta-pink blooms of immense size, very double, and deliciously fragrant. Stocky, dwarf plant with fair foliage. Free blooming and hardy. An unusually beautiful Rose, particularly for massive bedding effects. In common with most Pernet Roses, it resents close pruning, and needs protection from black-spot, but it is better than most in that respect; no mildew. $1.50 each. SOUVENIR DE GUSTAVE PRAT. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1910.) Clear amber-yellow flowers of charming form, deepening in color at the center and mildly fragrant. Bush is fairly strong, with ex- cellent foliage, and blooms freely. Somewhat similar to Senateur Mascuraud, but stronger and not so deeply colored. Delightful for buttonholes in the bud, but open flowers fade quickly, although they keep their shape very well. SOUVENIR DE H. A. VERSCHUREN. HT. (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1922.) Light buff-yellow blooms of almost perfect form, deepening to orange at the center; sweetly perfumed. Plant is very strong; productive, and usually free from disease. An improved yellow of the true Hybrid Tea 33 E VERBLOOMING ROSES ^0S6S^ hn Bohiink QAtfons type. Holds its head erect, and does not fade badly. Color intense in cool seasons. SOUVENIR DE MARQUES LOUREIRO. HT. (Ket- ten Bros., 1912.) Light red flowers, shading to rose, with yellow and purple tints, large, fairly full, and pointed. Vigorous, branching, and free flowering. A Rose of charming and variable color, rec- ommended especially for garden culture in the cities, and also fairly good for cutting. SOUVENIR DE MME. AUGUSTINE GILLOT. Per. (F. Gillot, 1920.) Salmon-flesh and yellow flowers of large size and fragrant. Very vigorous growth and liberal bloom. From Frau Karl Druschki and the Lyon Rose which is very interesting combination. $1.50 each. SOUVENIR DE MME. BOULLET. HT. (Pernet- Ducher, 1921.) Flower large, full, dark yellow. A vigorous grower of high, spreading habit. Color close to Lady Hillingdon but has most remarkable, long slender buds. Rather weak, wiry growth, but the buds are so fine every lover of really beautiful Roses ought to have it. $1.50 each. SOUVENIR DE PIERRE NOTTING. T. (Soupert & Notting, 1902.) Very double, yellow flowers deepening to copper and apricot; sweetly perfumed. A bushy, vigorous plant, floriferous, free from disease, and very hardy for a Tea Rose. Valuable because of its immunity to mildew, but the flowers shrivel in heat and ball in cold, wet weather; fine in cool, dry falls. SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1894.) Rosy white flowers, tinted with flesh-color at the center, of almost perfect form, and somewhat fragrant. The bush is moderately strong, produces long flower-stems, but needs protection from foliage troubles. An exquisite cutting Rose, resembling the hardy climber Dr. W. Van Fleet in color, although the form is better and the stems are not as strong. It needs plenty of feeding, and is worth it. SUBSTITUT JACQUES CHAPEL. HT. (P. Bernaix, 1922.) Flower of beautiful peach-blossom color, shaded with lemon-yellow at the base, border of petals purple-rose. Growth vigorous, erect, branch- ing; very free flowering. The flowers are attractive but it is most remarkable for its gorgeous, rich, old-fashioned perfume. $1.50 each. SUNBURST. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1912.) Fine yellow flowers, strongly suffused with orange at the center, fragrant, and well-shaped. Plant spreading. Very beautiful, but it takes time and patience to establish and grow it well. SUNNY JERSEY. HT. (P. Le Cornu, 1918.) Pointed buds, opening to semi-double, fragrant flowers of bronzy salmon and orange. Plants are upright, with foliage of average quality and bloom in sprays. A variation of the Independence Day type, smaller and slightly more variable in color. SUNSTAR. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1921.) The flowers are deep orange and yellow, edged, veined, and splashed crimson and vermilion. Flowers in great profusion continuously throughout the season. Very highly honey-perfumed. Rosarians of long experience, appreciative of the odd and different, will enjoy this dainty little flower. It is very frail and fleeting. $1.50 each. T. F. CROZ3ER. HT. (H. Dickson, 1918.) Pale yellow buds and blooms of medium size and fairly full, without fragrance. Plant is vigorous and very free, producing good flowers on long, firm stems. Very attractive flowers becoming white as they open, and a genuine treasure, for good white Roses are scarce. THE QUEEN ALEXANDRA ROSE. HT. (S. Mc- Gredy & Son, 1918.) Globular, fairly full blooms of medium size, and unusual color — scarlet on inside, and yellow on outside of petals; somewhat fragrant. Growth, foliage and blooming qualities fair. An astonishing flower which has made a sensa- tion. Brighter and smaller than Juliet. It is not always perfect; in hot weather the colors are dulled, but it is of great distinction. Subject to black-spot. See illustration in color facing page 29. THERESE ZEIMET LAMBERT. HT. (P. Lambert, 1922.) Long-pointed buds and high-centered flowers of deep rose-pink on yellow ground; fragrant. Plant upright, sturdy; foliage dark green and healthy. Unusually attractive in form and color, with long stems suitable for cutting. A descendant of Mrs. Aaron Ward and Richmond. $1.50 each. TIPPERARY. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1917.) Yellow flowers of attractive shape and medium size, not fully double, and fragrant. Plant usually strong and floriferous, but foliage needs usual protection against disease. The pretty little flowers become lighter with age but are very freely produced, making it an excellent bedding and buttonhole Rose. TOISOND’OR. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Orange- yellow, half-double blooms, distinctly tinted with bronze; globular form; not notably fragrant. Plant is low, spreading, and free flowering, with bluish green, healthy foliage. Unusually attractive, but the flower has too few petals to be good for anything except a splash of color in the garden. TOTOTE GELOS. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1915). Pointed buds and flesh white, medium size flowers shaded chrome-yellow in the center. Very pleasing. An interesting Rose with one of the queerest names extant. Color is quite good in autumn. UNA WALLACE. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1921.) A beautifully formed Rose of luminous old-rose color, without markings of any kind; slightly fragrant. Profusely flowering plants with average foliage. Distinctly an “art” color different from any other. A new Rose, highly thought of abroad and promising much for American gardens. 34 Rutherford, J^few Jersey e verblooming roses VENUS. HT. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Full, pointed blooms of soft, light pink, toning to pale flesh or cream at edges of petals; fragrant. The plant is a fine grower and blooms liberally. Foliage seems quite resistant to disease. A charming new color, approaching the ex- quisite tints of Mrs. Charles Bell. The full flowers are very sweet but at times a trifle too heavy for the stems. Untroubled by disease in our experience. $1.50 each. VICOMTE MAURICE DE MELLON. HT. (Ketten Bros., 1921.) Large, deep-petaled flowers of apricot and salmon, with yellow and copper tints. Vigorous and branching growth. Opens well at all times. Reported to be good for cut-flowers and garden decoration. $1.50 each VICTORY. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1920.) High- centered flowers with reflexed outer petals and almost perfect outline, dark red on glowing scarlet-crimson; moderately fragrant. The plant has a fine habit, with long, stout stems, average foliage, and fairly good blooming qualities. Like most reds, it is better for shade in hot, dry weather, and the blooms make up in quality what is lacking in quantity. A Rose whose great beauty of form and color overbalances its minor defects. $1.50 each. VISCOUNTESS FOLKESTONE. HT. (Bennett, 1886.) Very large, well-formed flowers of creamy pink, shaded with salmon and deepening at center; very double and slightly fragrant. Plant makes good growth, with fair foliage, and blooms freely. One of the oldest and most charming Hybrid Teas. It has some of the faults of the old varie- ties, notably a rather slender flower-stem and foliage which requires protection against disease, but is quite worth while. WALTER SPEED. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1909.) Lemon-yellow flowers, changing to white, with large, overlapping petals of fine substance. Vigorous. A bedding and cutting Rose of much charm which we have observed with increasing pleasure for several years. Superb in its vigor of habit, large size, and general beauty of its blooms. An old sort which ought to be revived. W. C. GAUNT. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1916.) Smallish blooms of dark crimson; slightly fragrant. A bushy plant with good blooming qualities. A recommended bedding and massing Rose. Flowers are not very suitable for cutting. W. E. WALLACE. HT. (H. Dickson, 1922.) Large, globular buds and blooms of light creamy yellow, perfectly shaped, very double, of splendid substance, and sweet-scented. Sturdy, short-jointed growth of upright habit; excellent foliage and good blooming qualities. One of the most promising of the new light yellows distinct from the Souvenir de Claudius Pernet group. The color fades a good deal by the second day, but it is attractive at all stages. We like it. $1.50 each. WESTFIELD STAR. HT. (H. Morse & Sons, 1920.) A distinct, lemon-yellow sport from Ophelia, pos- sessing all its excellent characteristics. Hardly yellow here, but an almost pure white Ophelia. We have found it equal to its parent in all other respects and think it a fine white Rose of pointed form and good substance. $1.50 each. W. FREELAND KENDRICK. HT. (Capt. Thomas, 1920.) Silvery white blooms of fair form, very double, sometimes tinted pink at center; slightly fragrant. Very vigorous, extremely hardy plant, with good foliage and fine blooming habit. Suitable for massing or low pillars. Continuous blooming; foliage like holly, untroubled by dis- ease. Formerly catalogued as Bloomfield En- durance. The flowers are very full and somewhere between the globular and pointed forms. WILLIAM F. DREER. HT. (Howard & Smith, 1920.) A wonderfully beautiful flower of golden fawn and orange-pink; moderately fragrant. Fair growth, with average foliage and blooming qualities. Although remarkable for its very lovely color, this Rose requires skill to grow it successfully. The foliage needs protection, and the flower- stems wilt in hot weather. In hot gardens try this variety in half shade giving it plenty of water and fertilizer. The flowers have the same ex- quisitely pointed form as Los Angeles but the color is much rarer and more charming. WILLIAM R. SMITH. T. (Smith, 1908.) Pale flesh-colored flowers of splendid shape, mottled with cream and pink; only slightly fragrant. Plant is very vigorous and spreading, blooms freely all season, and foliage is never troubled by disease. One of the very hardiest Teas for the North, and grows very large in warm climates. Flowers seldom scorch as many Teas do, and its foliage is immune to mildew under all conditions. WILLIAM SHEAN. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1906.) Very long, tapering buds and clear, rose-pink flowers with enormous petals. Moderate growth and bloom. A Rose of distinctive, beautiful form, perhaps unequaled in length of bud and petals. WILLOWMERE. HT. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Superb buds and blooms of richest pink, shining with a yellow glow which seems to come from the heart of the flower; not fragrant. A very strong grower and a persistent bloomer. The foliage requires protection. One of the finest of all Roses; a bed of it is magnificent, and it is equally fine cut. Its only faults are lack of fragrance and the ordinary foliage weakness which is so easily controlled. The best substitute for Los Angeles which is not unlike it. WINNIE DAVIS. HT. (Nanz & Neuner, 1900.) Large, long pointed buds and flowers of pale rose- pink moderately fragrant and freely produced. A vigorous upright plant. A large flower of the Betty type with the color of Lady Ursula. Has a great reputation in the West and South. 35 SINGLE AND CHINA ROSES hi Sobhink QAtlyns SINGLE ROSES THESE are Hybrid Tea Roses with single or almost single flowers, and require the same culture and care as the other Hybrid Teas. They are often called the “Irish Singles,” although they are not all of Irish origin. The buds are especially fine, but the open flowers are rather perish- able although they are very freely produced. They always open well either in hot or cold weather, making them very valuable for decorative effects in the garden. All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, for strong field-grown plants, except where otherwise noted BLOOMFIELD PERPETUAL, HT. (Capt. Thomas, 1920.) White, with golden stamens, mildly fragrant, and lasts well. Vigorous, bushy growth up to 5 feet. Quite hardy. A good hedge Rose, resembling the Cherokee. See illustration on opposite page. ETHEL JAMES. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1921.) Large flowers, 4 inches across, of soft orange-pink, borne in artistic bouquets on a sturdy plant. A favorite with many fanciers for table decoration. $1.50 each. INNOCENCE. See page 7. IRISH BEAUTY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1900.) Creamy white with yellow stamens; very fragrant and free flowering. Foliage especially good; ex- cellent growth. Dwarfer than Bloomfield Perpetual, with more petals. See illustration on opposite page. IRISH ELEGANCE. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1905.) Bronzy pink buds, opening with shades of apricot and yellow. Very strong growth and continually in flower. Perhaps the best liked and most planted single Rose. See illustration on opposite page. IRISH ENGINEER. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1904.) Very large, dazzling scarlet flowers. Plant of robust, dwarf growth, but not very free blooming. A good color, contrasting well with the yellow stamens. Splendid form. IRISH FIREFLAME. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Orange-crimson blooms, shaded pink and gold, very large (5 inches across) ; pleasing fragrance. Strong growth and profuse bloom. A famous Rose, excellent in bud and fine for buttonhole. See illustration on opposite page. IRISH GLORY. HT. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1900.) Very large blooms, silvery pink on inside of petals, reverse crimson; deliciously perfumed. Very vigorous and floriferous. A wonderfully bright and charming color. ISOBEL. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1916.) Ex- quisitely pointed buds and flowers with huge petals flushed with carmine-red and orange, becoming pink with age; fragrant. The plant needs plenty of room. Indispensable and desirable where single Roses are liked. In our minds the finest of this group. See illustration on opposite page. MRS. OAKLEY FISHER. HT. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Apricot-yellow which is well retained; same graceful form as Irish Elegance; some fragrance. Plant is bushy and grows well. Moderate in bloom. Practically fadeless yellow, and blooms best in autumn. $1.50 each. OLD GOLD. HT. (S. McGredy & Son, 1913.) Orange buds and buff flowers tinted pink, not quite single, mildly fragrant. Plant of moderate growth needing some extra protection in hard winters. Best in the bud before the very attractive color fades. See illustration on opposite page. PINK BEDDER. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1920.) Rose-pink with yellow center, tinted mauve with age. Plant of good habit, blooming in clusters. A telling color when massed in the garden. $1.50 each. SIMPLICITY. HT. (H. Dickson, 1909.) Large, pure white flowers which keep well; slightly fragrant. Moderate upright growth and fair quantity of bloom. Foliage normal. Noted for its pure color and beauty of form. See illustration on opposite page. ULSTER GEM. HT. (H. Dickson, 1916.) Large, canary-yellow flowers with slight fragrance, freely borne in clusters by a vigorous, well-branched plant. Large and very beautifully pointed buds for cutting. WALTHAM SCARLET. HT. (W. Paul & Son, 1914.) Crimson-scarlet flowers of medium size and fair lasting quality. Plant very vigorous and profuse in flowering. Seventy blooms a season reported. Fine in autumn. $1.50 each. CHINA OR BENGAL ROSES THESE are everblooming Roses of most profuse habit, although their flowers are not as large or of such shape and substance as the Hybrid Teas. They are excellent sorts for massing or edging, for which purpose they are only rivaled by the Polyanthas. Their wood is slender, their foliage small, and they are continually in bloom. The China or Bengal Roses are $1 each, except where otherwise noted ARIADNE. (W. Paul & Son, 1918.) Flowers bright crimson shaded yellow at center, semi-double, large petals. Vigorous growth and very floriferous. Bright and effective for massing or bedding, having large, ruffled flowers of charming informal shape, and cheerful ruddy color. COMTESSE DU CAYLA. (P. Guillot, 1902.) Lovely buds of coppery orange, and rather large, flat flowers of light reddish orange and yellow, on good stems, nearly single, not fragrant. Spreading plant of vigorous growth, very free flowering; dark and glossy. Especially adapted to border planting and 36 1 Old Gold 3 Simplicity 5 Irish Elegance 7 Irish Fireflame 2 Isobel 4 Irish Beauty 6 Bloomfield Perpetual The Irish Singles With the airy, unsophisticated grace of the wild Roses of the woods and fields these charming descendants of the Hybrid Teas combine the everblooming qualities of that race, furnishing their graceful sprays of dainty buds and fragile flowers throughout the season. Brought into prominence a few years ago by the large Rose^growers of northern Ireland, they sprang into instant popularity, particularly for garden adornment and table decoration, for which purpose they are eminently fitted by their fleeting beauty. Eblouissant i? utherford , J/ew Jersei) quite hardy. An extremely attractive novelty both for the rich coppery salmon flowers and its beautiful foliage and new growth. A compact bed of it around a formal pool is extremely fine and it can be effectively used to border beds of HP.’s or tall HT.’s. CRAMOISI SUPERIEUR. (Coquereau, 1832.) Ex- quisitely shaped buds, and small, very double cupped flowers of velvety crimson, freely produced from spring until autumn. Moderate, wiry growth. A good edging or bedding Rose, and also suit- able for growing in pots. A favorite affectionately remembered as one of the old-time Monthly Roses of grandmother’s garden. DUCHER. (Ducher, 1869.) White, fully double flowers, borne in large, short-stemmed clusters by a fairly strong, busily growing bush. Easily the best white China, but suitable only for garden use because of its short stems. FABVIER. Laffay, 1832.) Bright crimson, semi- double flowers, with a few white lines on the petals. Very vigorous and continuously in bloom. The brightest of all Chinas, and highly regarded for its brilliant mass of color. HERMOSA. (Marcheseau, 1840.) Medium-sized, symmetrically double flowers of soft pink, borne in sprays on stout, healthy plants, always in bloom. A favorite of three generations, and still very highly prized. 75 cts. each. CHINA AND BOURBON ROSES HOFGARTNER KALB. (Felberg-Leclerc, 1914.) Large, full flowers of bright carmine, with yellow center, outer petals shaded red; fragrant. Plant free blooming and bushy. Valued for its fragrance and most persistent blooming qualities, even in very hot weather. LAURETTE MESSIMY. (Guillot fils, 1887.) Hand- some buds and light rosy flowers of fair size, tinted with yellow at base of petals, very freely produced by a moderately vigorous, everblooming bush. An old favorite whose enchanting color is much liked. MME. EUGENE RE SAL. (P. Guillot, 1894.) Bright pink flowers of medium size, with yellow base and reddish orange shadings. Bushy growth and con- tinuous bloom. Beautiful color, and always very much admired in the garden. OLD BLUSH. (Parsons, 1796.) Bright pink flowers, darkening with age; sparkling, informal, and very pretty. Plant strong and flowers profusely in big, loose sprays. The Bengal Rose, origin of all pink Chinas, and still one of the best. TITANIA. (W. Paul & Son, 1915.) Burning red buds of attractive shape and nearly single orange flowers with petals often toothed. Moderate in growth and bloom. Color is unusually attractive but it fades quickly. One of the most popular Chinas for garden ornamentation. BOURBON ROSES THE Bourbons are desirable old-fashioned Roses closely related to the Chinas. Many of them bloom continuously but a few are once-blooming only. There are both climbing and bedding types. Our list includes two of the finest old sorts and interesting, modern varieties. ADAM MESSERICH. (P. Lambert, 1920.) Clear rosy red, well-filled, fragrant flowers, freely borne singly or in threes on a bushy plant 3 to 6 feet high, with bright green, healthy foliage. A good, continuously blooming massing or shrub Rose. $1 each. BARDOU JOB. Bour. (C. Nabonnand, 1887.) Large, semi-double flowers of bright scarlet with blackish shades. Fragrant, free-flowering, and a semi-climber. This famous old Rose has been classed as a Boursalt, as a Tea, and as a Bourbon. Under either name it is just as sweet. A rare sort which has long been practically unobtainable and will be welcomed by those who desire beautiful Roses whether new or old. $1 each. KATHLEEN HARROP. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1919.) Pale shell-pink, well-formed, very fragrant. Blooms freely in spring on a thornless, climbing plant. A light-colored sport of the lovely Zephirine Drouhin, and especially handsome in combina- tion with it. $1 each. MME. ARTHUR OGER. Cl. Bourbon. (A. Oger, 1899.) Large brilliant pink flowers. A good grower may be used for medium-sized trellis. Extremely interesting in that it seems to be another Bourbon with the characteristics of Zephirine Drouhin. We have room for several good Bourbons of that type. PARKZIERD E . (P. Lambert, 1909.) Fiery crimson- scarlet flowers, double, rather small, and notably fragrant. Strong-growing and very hardy plant. Once-blooming only, but very profuse at that time. $1 each. SOUVENIR DE LA MALMAISON. (Beluze, 1843.) Silvery flesh-colored, very double flowers and fragrant. A vigorous, beautiful plant which is a liberal but erratic bloomer. A splendid old Rose but a little tender to frost. Old-fashioned, very double, quartered flowers, now out of style but beautiful. $1.50 each. ZEPHIRINE DROUHIN. (Bizot, 1868.) Vivid pink, well-filled flowers of splendid shape and size, ex- quisitely perfumed. Blooms freely in spring on a strong, almost thornless climbing plant with healthy bronzy foliage. Hardy for this class. An old Rose which has fallen into undeserved neglect. Hardy as Silver Moon. Rarely beauti- ful, very early, and one of the most desirable of all climbing Roses. Frequently blooms lightly all summer and fall. $1 each. POLYANTHAS are, perhaps, the most truly everblooming of all Roses, being scarcely ever out of flower during the whole growing season. They are sometimes called Baby Ramblers, which is a silly name referring to their resemblance to dwarf forms of the small-flowered rambler Roses. The word polyantha, meaning “many-flowered,” describes them better, and distinguishes them from the many-flowered class of climbing Roses known as “multiflora.” They are ordinarily dwarf, bushy plants, seldom more than 18 inches high, hardy as the Hybrid Teas, and bear small flowers in enormous, many-flowered clusters. The class is variable and many sorts do not conform to the type; some are taller, some are rather tender, and a few produce large flowers. They are especially valuable for massing, edging, and to some extent for mingling with other flowers. All these Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10, except where otherwise noted of Mrs. Wm. Cutbush and Mme. Norbert Leva- vasseur, and the flowers are charming. $1 each. AENNCHEN MULLER. (J. C. Schmidt, 1907.) Shining, bright pink blooms of fairly large size, with sharply quilled petals, borne in splendid trusses. The strong, bushy plants, 2 feet high, are almost always in bloom. A splendid Rose for massing and bordering, but often afflicted with mildew. ALICE AMOS. (Jan Spek, 1922.) Large, single flowers of bright cherry-pink, with white eyes, borne in immense trusses continuously throughout the season. Growth unusually good. We have been hearing a lot about this Rose from abroad, where it has the reputation of being the most outstanding Polyantha in many years. It seems to be an excellent bedding and decora- tive variety, reaching 3 feet or more in height. ANDREE LENOBLE. (E. Turbat & Co., 1916.) Bright rose, double flowers, borne in corymbs of 50 to 100 on upright plants throughout the season. Very floriferous and discolors less than most. Strong growth and good foliage. $1 each. CECILE BRUNNER. (Mme. Ducher, 1881.) Small, exquisitely formed buds and flowers of light pink with yellow base in diffuse, graceful clusters. Foliage waxy and healthy. Perfectly formed miniature Roses of utmost grace and delicacy. Also called “Sweetheart Rose” and “Mignon Rose.” CHATILLON ROSE. (A. Nonin, 1923.) Bright pink, semi-double blooms with fan illuminating touch of orange. The color lasts well but is not unattractive when faded. The trusses are of gigantic size, and the plant is both healthy and hardy. Splendid and absolutely good. Highly recom- mended for massing and borders. CLOTILDE SOUPERT. (Soupert & Notting, 1890.) Pearly white blooms with a pink flush at the base of its rather large closely overlapping petals. Blooms freely in large clusters; plant quite strong. Tender in severest climates and flowers often ball, but a very old and notable variety. CORAL CLUSTER. (R. Murrell, 1921.) Small, pale, coral-pink flowers of rather delicate shade, in very large trusses. Plant of excellent growth and profuse in bloom; especially good in cool weather. An unusual and very attractive color, and we believe the best in this new color in the Polyantha class. It is a splendid massing rose of the habit DOROTHY HOWARTH. (Bees Ltd., 1921.) Clear rosy pink flowers, shaded lighter, small, cup-shaped, double, and very attractive, borne in loose, graceful clusters on very strong, bushy plants, well furnished with excellent foliage. Reminiscent of the flowers of Bechtel’s double crab-apple in color, but better shaped. $1 each. Illustrated in color facing page 45. EBLOUISSANT. (E. Turbat & Co., 1918.) Glowing, dark red flowers of medium size, quilled like little cactus dahlias, and shaded heavily with velvety crimson. Large, compact trusses, borne on dwarf but robust plants, which bloom constantly. Dwarfer than most Polyanthas, and with flowers that resemble the old China Cramoisi Superieur. Gets better with age, and is one of the finest Polyantha Roses, though it has strangely been overlooked. $1 each. See illus- tration opposite page 37. ECHO. (P. Lambert, 1914.) Rather large, open, frilled flowers, soft pink becoming both lighter and darker when fully open. Growth bushy, wiry, and thornless; steady bloomer, improving toward fall. Virtually a dwarf, everblooming Tausendschon, to which it sometimes reverts. Charming. ELLEN POULSEN. (D. L. Poulsen, 1912.) Rather large, fairly full flowers of bright rose-pink, darker toward the edges, and slightly fragrant. Large, compact clusters, borne profusely by a dwarf, bushy plant 15 to 18 inches high, with average foliage and quite hardy. Next to Lady Reading we consider it the best of the true “Baby Rambler” type. ERNA TESCHENDORFF. (V. Teschendorff, 1911.) Medium to small, bright red, semi-double flowers, borne in large clusters on dwarf, bushy plants 10 to 15 inches high. Continuous blooming and hardy. A popular and worthy sort for edging and massing. EUGENIE LAMESCH. (P. Lambert, 1899.) Reddish orange buds and yellow, semi-double flowers, turning pink with age, in small clusters. Tall growth. Pleasing in its pale bronze shades developed in fading. One of the most charming sorts but its foliage needs careful protection. 38 j? uiherford , J/ew Jersey *gj EVELYN THORNTON. (Bees Ltd., 1919.) Pinkish yellow buds and pale pink and gold flowers, rather large, almost single, borne in immense loose sprays. Lovely apple-blossom flowers — a favorite va- riety. A very much improved Eugenie Lamesch, although its foliage is not perfect. FRAU DR. ERRETH. (Geduldig, 1915.) Flowers very large for a Polyantha, deep golden yellow, becoming white with age, very double, well-shaped, and borne in sparse clusters. Moderate, branching growth; healthy and hardy. Resembles Mrs. Aaron Ward. New to this country, and a most promising bedding and buttonhole variety. Illustrated in color facing page 37. GEORGE ELGER. (E. Turbat & Co., 1912.) Lovely yellow buds and delicately formed flowers, paling with age. Graceful sprays, moderate growth, and continuous bloom. The yellowest Polyantha, but suffers in severe winters. GLORY OF HURST. (E. Hicks, 1921.) Small, bright cherry-red, semi-double flowers, borne in large, compact clusters. Plant is vigorously dwarf, with glossy, healthy foliage; blooms freely and con- tinuously; very hardy. A descendant of Orleans and Jessie, which insures its merit. Of the Orleans type. $1 each. GRETA KLUIS. (Kims & Koning, 1915.) Medium- sized, double flowers of deep pink, passing to carmine- red, slightly fragrant, produced abundantly through- out the season in small bunches on dwarf, bushy plants with normal foliage. Hardy and dependable. A deep-colored sport of Louise Walter. At times its globular little blooms look like the old- fashioned strawflowers. GRUSS AN AACHEN. (Geduldig, 1909.) Orange- red and yellow buds, and large, light flesh-pink and salmon-yellow flowers with deeper center, fading lighter, very double, much like a bunch-flowered Hybrid Tea; faintly perfumed. Very strong, branch- ing plant, healthy and continually in bloom. Different from other Polyanthas and ex- ceptionally good. It is distinctly a large-flowered massing Rose, making a splendid showy bed, but it also has value as a cut-flower. Very richly colored in autumn. Really this variety should be classed with the best HT.’s for it has all the merits of that class and a few extra of its own. We have seen splendid Rose-gardens that relied entirely upon this rose and Lafayette for per- manent effect. Truly one of the best Roses grown. See illustration opposite page 45. HELENE LEENDERS. (M. Leenders & Co., 1924.) Bright salmon buds and light pink, semi-double flowers of good size, borne in clusters. Moderately fragrant. Very vigorous, making a bushy plant 4 to 4 feet high. Foliage said to be good. A descendant of Austrian Copper of peculiarly fascinating color and said to be good for specimen planting, hedges, or large masses. POLYANTHAS IDEAL. (J. Spek, 1922.) Small, dark scarlet blooms shaded with black, borne with tremendous profusion in immense, compact bunches. Plant quite vigorous, rather long-branching, continually in bloom. Darker and doubler than Miss Edith Cavell; more profuse than Eblouissant. A bed or border of Ideal is a splendid mass of velvety color all season. Blackens in heat. LADY READING. (Van Herk, 1921.) Bright red flowers in large clusters, the individual blooms rather large, fairly full, with a faint perfume. Vigor- ous growth, bushy, and very floriferous. Very similar to Ellen Poulsen but of a true red and does not blue badly as so many of the older varieties do. Especially recommended for bed- ding in large masses, edging drives, or for per- manent color effect anywhere. KATHARINA ZEIMET. (P. Lambert, 1901.) Small, very double, pure white flowers, quite fragrant, borne in large clusters on vigorous, faithfully blooming plants. Scorches less than most white varieties and probably the best for massing or edging. LAFAYETTE (Joseph Guy). (A. Nonin, 1921.) Large, semi-double flowers of striking light crimson which fades very little; open, frilled form. Blooms very liberally in loose clusters of 40 or more. Plant tall, healthy, and more than usually attractive. Almost unique, and invaluable for bedding, and decorative schemes in the garden. Can be counted upon to provide bright color from early spring until frost. LEONIE LAMESCH. (P. Lambert, 1899.) Bright coppery buds and flowers, shaded yellow, medium size, double, in small clusters. Plant rather tall (XYl to 2 feet). Liked for its striking color and excellent foliage for a Rose of this type. LOUISE WALTER. (Walter, 1909.) Medium-sized, half-double flowers of light creamy pink, with rosy veinings, borne in small, loose sprays. Plant quite vigorous, but dwarf, and reasonably hardy. Somewhat similar to Tausendschon in form, and very fluffy and graceful. MAMAN LEVAVASSEUR. (Levavasseur & Sons, 1907.) Small, light crimson-pink flowers, paling with age, borne very freely in large clusters on fairly vigorous, bushy plants. One of the several Roses called “Baby Dorothy.” MAMAN TURBAT. (E. Turbat & Co., 1911.) Small, rounded flowers of China-rose, shading to lilac, semi-double, long lasting, in large clusters. Plant 12 to 15 inches high; good foliage; very hardy. Flowers of attractive shape, especially in fall. A splendid pink Polyantha. MARECHAL FOCH (Red Orleans). (Levavasseur & Sons, 1918.) Bright cherry-red, semi-double flowers of medium size, changing to pink when open; some- what fragrant. Clusters compact and profusely produced by vigorous, bushy plants. One of the numerous progeny of Orleans, and resembles it, but has a somewhat better color. 39 POLYANTHAS ht) Bohiink tjAtkins MARIE PAVIC. (Alegatiere, 1888.) Perfect, miniature buds and dainty, waxy white flowers with flesh- pink centers, and of especially pleasing form, very freely produced in graceful sprays on sturdy, well- shaped plants. A really distinct and charming Polyantha. Well adapted for hedges, growing 3 feet or over in favorable climates. One of the oldest but finest varieties. MARTHA. (P. Lambert, 1906.) Small, rather full flowers of soft pink shaded with copper, freely pro- duced by a small bushy plant. An attempt to introduce the coppery tints of the Hybrid Teas into this race. Attractive and unusual. MERVEILLE DES ROUGES. (Dubreuil, 1911.) Flowers deep velvety crimson with whitish center, half-double, cupped form; large clusters. Dwarf plants, continually in flower. An effective Hose of very striking color when grown in masses. $1 each. MISS EDITH CAVELL. (Meiderwyk, 1917.) Small, semi-double flowers of brilliant scarlet-red, shaded darker, produced in big, compact corymbs by sturdy, well-branched plants. Very bright, and one of the very best. Lighter than Ideal but not so likely to blacken in heat. Recommended. MME. JULES GOUCHAULT. (E. Turbat & Co., 1913.) Bright pink double flowers, tinted coral, with orange suggestions; somewhat fragrant. Pro- fusely flowering and hardy. Very distinct in color; 20 to 30 inches high, producing excellent trusses of bloom. MME. NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR. (Levavasseur & Sons, 1903.) Small, semi-double flowers of bright purple-crimson with a lighter center, borne in dense clusters on strong, profusely blooming plants. Well known as “Baby Rambler,” and the variety which made the Polyanthas popular. An old, dependable sort, although it fades badly and is generally superseded by varieties of purer color, although few bloom any better. MRS. W. H. CUTBUSH. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1906.) Medium-sized blooms of bright rosy pink in heavy clusters. Plant strong and very floriferous. Another “Baby Dorothy.” Attractive, and refuses to yield to newer varieties of similar type. MRS. WM. G. KONING. (Kluis & Koning, 1916.) Pure white, globular blooms of good size in rather large clusters, continually produced by dwarf, healthy plants, with good foliage. Doubtless the best white Polyantha and particularly excellent in cool weather. Splendid for edging or long borders. NATHALIE NYPELS. (M. Leenders & Co., 1920.) Reddish orange flowers, changing to soft pink, freely borne in very large bunches on vigorous, constant-blooming plants. A very striking new sort of interesting and brilliant color; unusual and distinctive. $1 each. ORANGE KING. (Wm. Cutbush & Son, Ltd., 1923.) Clusters of very small, brilliant orange flowers, shaded salmon. Dwarf, bushy growth and fairly free flowering. Decidedly the most unusual color-break in the Polyantha group, but the color is fleeting and the flowTers fade green. Valuable only for its novelty. ORLEANS. (Levavasseur & Sons, 1910.) Flowers small, fairly double, and brilliant light red with a whitish center. Blooms without cessation in big, compact corymbs. Plant is very strong and healthy. A reliable sort for massing, found in almost every garden. Beautiful if the clusters are re- moved as they fade. PERLE D’OR. (Dubreuil, 1883.) Exquisite little buds and flowers of light orange and creamy yellow, borne in graceful sprays. Excellent but tender to severe cold. One of the prettiest for mild climates and, next to George Eiger, the yellowest well-known Polyantha. RODHATTE. (D. F. Poulsen, 1922.) Large, half- double flowers of light, shining crimson, borne in large, loose clusters which last a long time. Plants small but vigorous. Different, highly colored, and blues less than most. The forerunner of the large-flowered sorts of the Lafayette type. RUDOLF KLUIS. (Kluis & Koning, 1921.) Vermilion buds and flowers in large clusters. Strong, bushy growth and a constant blooming habit. It came out the same year and seems to be identical with Lady Reading, although a year or two’s growth may establish it so that it will show distinct differences. SALMON QUEEN. (Wm. Cutbush & Son, 1923.) Rather large flowers of bright salmon-pink, verging almost to the tone called coral, borne with exceptional freedom in immense clusters by vigorous, bushy plants. Much on the Orl6ans type but the salmon tint is distinct. TIP-TOP. (P. Lambert, 1909.) Well-shaped buds and reflexed flowers of pink and coppery yellow, tipped with rose. Small growth and continuous bloom. Very different from all others; desirable. TRIOMPHE ORLEANAIS. (Peauger, 1912.) Bright cherry-red, well-filled flowers, large for the class, produced freely in large trusses. Long lasting and fades very little. Plant strong and erect, 20 to 30 inches high, with glossy, bright green foliage. One of the best light red Polyanthas and generally considered an advance upon Orleans. YVONNE RABIER. (E. Turbat & Co., 1910.) Small, pure white flowers with creamy base, produced in bunches with the utmost freedom by excellent plants. Very near the ideal white Polyantha, especially for the excellent bushy habit and its bright green, glossy foliage, which is less affected by disease than any other variety of the class. 40 THESE Roses are very hardy, extremely vigorous sorts, growing 3 to 10 feet high, dependable in almost all parts of the United States except the extreme South. They are not, as their name implies, perpetually in flower, but produce, in their one great burst of bloom, a lavish display of flowers which cannot be surpassed by any continuously blooming sorts. Their flowers are larger, fuller, and generally much more fragrant than any of the modern Roses. In northern gardens they are the only Roses with flowers of good form which can be depended upon to survive severe winters. A few sorts produce flowers in the fall if their foliage is kept healthy and they are carefully fertilized. Hybrid Perpetuals should not be planted in the same beds with Hybrid Teas, but either be massed together or kept in the background where they will not be conspicuous when out of bloom. We have decided to include in this section those Roses formerly known as Pernetianas which have the Hybrid Perpetual habit, thus supplying the shades of yellow and orange long missing from this group. A few others introduced as HT’s are included because of their habit and manner of growth. All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10 ALFRED COLOMB. (Lacharme, 1865.) Light crimson with carmine reflexes, fine, globular form; extremely fragrant. Vigorous, medium height, with scattered thorns and large, handsome foliage. A grand old Rose for general use. When established, gives fine flowers in autumn. ALFRED K. WILLIAMS. (Schwartz, 1877.) Magenta- red, shaded crimson, large and perfect, with beauti- fully imbricated petals; some fragrance. Moderate growth, but hardy and free flowering. One of the most beautiful, but needs good care to bring it to perfection. AMERICAN BEAUTY. (Bancroft, 1886.) Dark pink, shaded with smoky carmine, full, globular form and most deliciously fragrant. Growth quite vigorous; blooms with unusual freedom over a long season; foliage not very good. Requires a dry, cool situation, heavy fertilization and protection from mildew. Under such conditions it does well , but better in greenhouse than outdoors. ANNA DE DIESBACH. (Lacharme, 1858.) Clear, rosy carmine, unusually large, double flowers with thick, deeply cupped petals, reflexed and shaded red at the edges. Strong growth, free flowering, and one of the hardiest. A Rose for the North. Heat badly spoils the buds and opening flowers. Profusely flowering, often giving some bloom in autumn. BARON DE BONSTETTEN. (J. Liabaud, 1871.) Velvety maroon with blackish crimson shading, medium-sized, and very fragrant. Excellent growth and bloom, but shy in autumn. One of the very darkest Roses, but not at its best in hot sunshine. BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. (Pernet, 1867.) Light pink blooms of perfect symmetry, lightly shaded white or rose, very large, elegantly cupped; without fragrance, and usually borne singly. Robust, stiff canes set thick with heavy foliage. Produces magnificent flowers on rigid, leafy stems, but not so profusely as others. Old, well-established plants bloom a little in autumn. BEAUTE DE LYON. Per. (Pernet-Ducher, 1910.) Copper-yellow buds and fragrant flowers of strong orange. Erect habit; black-spots; early bloom liberal, with a few flowers thereafter. A variety for those who appreciate unique beauty and take pains to get it. It is a surpris- ingly free bloomer for its type. CANDEUR LYONNAISE. (Croibier & fils, 1914.) Pure white, tinted pale yellow, very large and full, pro- duced singly on stiff stems. Very vigorous and hardy. A seedling of Frau Karl Druschki -which it probably surpasses in substance of flower but not in abundant blooming. CAPTAIN CHRISTY. (Lacharme, 1873.) Delicate flesh-pink, deepening in color toward the center, medium size, double, well-shaped, and fragrant. Robust, dwTarf growth and blooms freely in autumn. By breeding and character of flower almost a Hybrid Tea. The flowers are frequently ill- shaped, but the perfect ones are very lovely. CAPTAIN HAYWARD. (Bennett, 1893.) Scarlet- crimson buds and flowers of exquisite form, not fully double, but very large and fragrant. Plant big and strong, and almost constantly in bloom. Color fades but not disagreeably. Dead flowers must be cut to prevent seeding, and it needs food to support its prolonged blooming. CLIO. (W. Paul & Son, 1894.) Big, very double, globular flowers of pale pink, with flesh tones in center, splendid shape, fragrant. Heavy and ex- tremely thorny canes, good foliage, and lavish bloom. Needs disbudding because its tremendous clusters of buds all try to open at once. Balls badly in heat and wet. COMMANDEUR JULES GRAVEREAUX. (Croibier & fils, 1908.) Pointed buds and peony-like flowers of velvety red, shaded maroon; very fragrant. Strong growth and liberal bloom. A first-class Rose without objectionable car- mine shades but blues somewhat with age. HYBRID PERPETUALS BIOSes h]i Bohhink "^1 The wrong way to prune. i f End split and “eye” damaged U\l, PERSIAN YELLOW. (Willock, 1837.) Double, rather small, deep golden yellow flowers, produced along the canes in the manner characteristic of this class. Blooms late in spring or early summer. Growth is moderate and the foliage is not very good. An intensely yellow Rose, entirely unique in color. It is erratic in blooming, seldom flowering well in two successive years. One of the parents of the new yellow Hybrid Teas to which it be- queaths its foliage weakness. Has been very pop- ular but Harison’s Yellow is much more satis- factory for general use. 75 cts. each. SONNENLICHT. (Dr. Kriiger, 1913.) Canary-yellow, semi-double, fragrant flowers, abundantly produced early in the season and sometimes in autumn. Vig- orous and extremely hardy. Rather new, but promises to be a good Rose of the Harison’s Yellow type. We recommend it for trial as a good new variety in this class would be welcome. $1 each. DAMASK ROSES Rutherford, J/ew Jersey DAMASK, AND GALLICA OR FRENCH ROSES A HUNDRED years ago, these types were the most highly prized of all Roses. Their hardiness and fragrance have been handed down to the modern Hybrid Perpetuals and Hybrid Teas, k but they are still most attractive in their genuine old-fashioned way. We are glad we can offer a good selection of these very scarce old sorts. These Roses are $1 each for strong, field -grown plants BELLE DES JARDLNS. Gal. (Guillot fils, 1872.) Bright purple-crimson flowers, striped with white, double, well-shaped, and of medium size; fragrant. Plant vigorously erect. COMMANDANT BEAUREPALRE. Gal. (Moreau- Robert, 1874.)

Brilliant red flow’ers with shaggy centers; fragrant and free flowering. Strong, shrubby growth and continuous bloom. Fairly hardy. The ancestor of almost all good red Roses. Widely known as Ragged Robin. Excellent for hedges in mild cli- mates where it will grow 5 feet or over; in this section it seldom exceeds 3 to 4 feet in height. HENRI FOUQUIER. Gal. Pure rose-pink, double flowers, wrell formed and fragrant. Plant of excellent habit and growth. LADY CURZON. Gal. (Turner, 1901.) Large, almost single flow'ers of shining rose-pink; plant of extreme vigor, making heavy, thorny canes almost climbing. MME. D’HEBRAY (Unique Panach^e). Gal. or Prov. (Pradel, 1820.) Double, white flowrers of excellent size and fine, globular shape, faintly striped with rose and lilac. Very beautiful, but if too well fed, becomes pure white. Moderate growth. CEILLET PARFAIT. Gal. (Foulard, 1841.) Pale blush flowers of medium size, striped writh red and crimson. Very beautiful. CEILLET FLAMAND. Gal. (Vibert, 1845.) Mod- erately large, very double flowers of pale pink, striped and variegated white and brighter pink, opening flat; very fragrant. Plant grows most vigorously, making a large bush. PANACHfiE DOUBLE (Village Maid). Gal. (Vibert, 1839.) Rose and white striped flowers of large size, double and fragrant. Pendulous and rather small growth. PERLE DES PANACHEES. Gal. (Vibert, 1845.)

Semi-double, irregular flowers of pale red and white, sometimes striped with pink; fragrant. Rather long, pale green branches, of diffuse habit. A famous old Rose about which much romancing has been done, connecting it with the War of the Roses. The true variety which we have is very scarce. PROVENCE OR CABBAGE ROSES (Rosa csnufoiia) All Provence or Cabbage Roses are $1 each ALMOST as ancient as human history, these Roses are still treasured for their hardiness and fragrance. With the Damask, French and Moss Roses they deserve to be cherished in every A ^ garden, where a little space can be given them. They bloom only once a year. They should be given good care, but endure even the most unfavorable conditions. CABBAGE (Rosa centifolia) . (Ancient.) Large, double, nodding flowrers of rosy pink, paling at the edges soon after opening; incurved, globular form, and intensely fragrant. Plant branching and vigorous. The ancestor of many handsome Roses and prized for its history and unsurpassed fragrance. KONIGIN VON DANEMARK. (Booth Bros., 1898.) Delicate flesh-pink, moderately large, double flowers, with a deep pink center; fragrant. Strong growing and hardy. LA NOBLESSE. (Soupert & Notting, 1856.) Double, light rose-colored flowers of excellent size, with a bright carmine center ; very fragrant. Growth and foli- age very vigorous. Charming and distinct old Rose. PETITE DE HOLLANDE. (Unknown.) Small, double, rose-colored flowers, fragrant and freely produced. Growth moderate. Excellent for a bed in a quiet corner of the garden where it will be in- conspicuous when out of flower. An old sort of much delicacy and charm. CEILLET. (Dupont, 1800.) Bright pink, double flowers of moderate size, fragrant. Plant vigorous, hardy, and free blooming. A rare and attractive sort. POMPON DE BOURGOGNE. (Unknown.) Small, very double flowers of pale pink, varying to white tinted pink in the center; fragrant and free flowering. Moderate growth. RED PROVENCE. (Old.) Clear, crimson-red flowers of large size, cupped and very fragrant. A dwarf spreading sort whose flownrs are somewhat fleeting but very freely produced. UNIQUE BLANCHE. (Grimwood, 1778.) Pure, paper- white flowrers of similar form, size, and carriage to the Cabbage Rose, of which it is presumed to be a sport. Plant erect in habit and of moderate growih. Rare and highly prized. VIERGE DE CLERY. (Baron Veillard, 1888.) Snowy white blooms of larger size and a little more modern aspect than Unique Blanche; fragrant and handsome. Plants vigorous and hardy. Just right. Cut clean, slightly sloped above the “eye” 63 MOSS AND SPECIES ROSES ^ OSBS^ bii Bohiink & Atkins MOSS ROSES ( Rosa centifolia muscosa ) All Moss Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10, for strong, field-grown plants MOSS ROSES are forms of the Cabbage Roses which bear a crown of lacy moss upon the stems and sepals. They are exquisitely lovely in bud. Absolutely hardy. They should be given good soil and careful attention to bring out their best qualities, but they live and produce fair blooms when completely neglected. BARON DE WASSENAER. (V. Verdier, 1854.) Light crimson, globular flowers, not fully double, and of more than average size, blooms in clusters. Vigorous growth. BLANCHE MOREAU. (Moreau-Robert, 1880.) Heavily mossed buds and white, double flowers, borne in clusters. Very vigorous and free flowering. With proper care and in favorable seasons it blooms again in the autumn. CRESTED MOSS (Chapeau de Napoleon; Cristata). (Found in Friburg, Switzerland, 1827.) Triangular buds, enclosed by smooth sepals, crested with a deep frill or fringe which sometimes extends to the leaves. The flowers are large and full, bright rose-pink, paling toward the edges. Branching, moderate growth. Feed heavily to produce the finest crests. Unique and handsome. CRISTATA. See Crested Moss. COMMUNIS. See Old Pink Moss. HENRI MARTIN. (Laffay, 1863.) Sparsely mossed buds and fairly large, shining crimson, semi-double flowers. Plant grows moderately. LA NEIGE. (Moranville, 1805.) Pure white flowers of medium size, double and sweet.

ROSE SPECIES T JSL TTLD ROSES of this and other countries have a wide appeal to all people interested in \/ V/ Roses. Not only are they beautiful in themselves, but in their myriad variations they also " * offer amazing opportunities for plant-breeding toward improvement of existing forms and the origination of new types. We believe we have the most complete commercial collection of Rose species in America, and we are continually adding to it, both from native and from foreign sources, providing material for amateur and scientific work in adapting wild Roses to garden uses and for the creation of new kinds. The Rose species are very variable, and while they reproduce themselves in a general way from seed, they do not always come exactly true. For that reason, many variants of authentic species are known, and the nomenclature is much confused. We have extensively investigated the subject and feel sure that our descriptions of the species are exact, describing the Roses as we know them and as recorded by authorities. Most of the wild Roses have attributes which make them worth while in broad garden treatment, or for park and landscape work. They range from trailing forms and dwarf types a foot or less high to enormous bushes and scrambling shrubs 15 feet tall or more. Almost all of them are ruggedly hardy, useful for permanent plantings such as hedges, shrubbery work, or naturalizing on banks, in thickets and waste land generally. They are too vigorous ordinarily for use in small gardens in con- nection with Hybrid Teas and similar Roses, except as backgrounds, screens, or in the border around the garden. They need little pruning or care if the soil is well prepared for them, but the old wood should be thinned out every three or four years, and branches which exceed reasonable bounds may be lopped. It is best to refrain as much as possible from shortening the long shoots of the climbing types because they bloom on the older wood. All varieties not otherwise priced are $1 each, $9 for 10. The varieties priced at 60 cts. each we grow in large quantities, and special prices by the 100 or 1,000 will be given on request ROSA ACICULARIS, Lindley. (Northwestern North America.)
