American-Grown Roses

Many of our patrons and friends have suggested that we
should issue a separate Rose Book, and so, at their request,
we present this list, in the hope that it will meet with your
approval. In response to the enormous and growing demand
for our home-grown Roses, we have organized a separate
Rose Department, in which only men well skilled, from a life
experience in this branch of horticulture, are employed.
The whole of their time is devoted to the growing of Roses,
for which a separate farm is utilized — hence our Rose business
claims special attention.

Our Rose-Garden, which is the only one of its kind in any
commercial nursery, will convey an idea as to what can be
accomplished with Roses alone. Come to see it!

The cultivation of the Rose has been so thoroughly taken up
in the past decade that one can now select a collection per-
fectly suited to the climatic conditions prevalent in any
section of America. Not only has the range of hardiness been
widened, but, in fragrance and color, the Rose is today the
recognized “Queen of Flowers.”

The immense number of varieties makes it quite a problem
to decide on a selection for the garden. This booklet is written
with the idea of facilitating this matter, and also to give a
few points on the caring for and growing of them.

Site. Being a cheerful flower, the Rose needs sunshine,
and in continual shade our favorite gradually pines away.

BOBBINK & ATKINS, RUTHERFORD, N. J.

Choose an open situation, where it gets a liberal amount of
sunshine, not necessarily all day. When your Rose-site has
been located, let the soil be prepared worthy to receive the
“Queen of the Garden.”

Soil. ^ Although Roses thrive in very ordinary soil, they
repay with interest any effort made to afford them congenial
surroundings. They like good drainage, rather heavy soil,
and are gross feeders. For mulching, cow-manure is prefer-
able on lighter soils, and well-rotted stable manure will be
most beneficial in not only enriching, but for lightening a very
heavy compost. Never allow manure to remain in contact
with the roots, as they will be burned and rendered useless.

Planting. The secret of success in Rose-growing is proper
planting. So many bushes are annually lost through faulty
planting when there is apparently no cause for their hurried
exit. First, work the soil good, to a depth of 15 to 18 inches,
mixing manure at the same time, and then allow it to settle.
In planting, do not overcrowd, but let the air have a free cir-
culation— it’s natural. The vital part, namely the roots, must
first be considered. They like, and in fact need, ample space
in which to search for nourishment. Place the Roses an ap-
preciable distance from the roots of surrounding trees, etc.,
as the latter will absorb and benefit by all the food within
their domain.

A set distance for planting cannot be definitely stated, as
this differs according to conditions. Generally speaking, from
18 to 24 inches should be ample for bush Roses, while stan-
dards need at least 2 feet 6 inches.

All damaged roots should be cleanly cut, and, if a dry day,
dip them into a bucket of water, then spread them out to
their full scope and sprinkle fine soil on them. Fix the bush
by treading the soil firmly.

This last point is essential to the future well-being of the
Rose. Never leave the surface soil hard, but fork it over
lightly to a depth of 2 to 3 inches; this prevents “caking”
and aids in retaining the moisture, and is preferable to cover-
ing with manure, which is often done.

If the soil is very heavy and wet, it is a good plan to obtain
some gritty soil and mix a spadeful or so in with the natural
soil around the roots, it can then be trodden firmly without
fear of sticking together.

The point of union between root and branches should be
at least 2 inches underground. This affords protection
against frost, and insures stability of the plant.

Pruning. The bushes should be cut back pretty severely
when planted, leaving about 4 to 8 inches of growth, according
to their strength, bearing in mind that the weaker the shoot,
the harder should be the pruning.

Early spring is the best time for annual pruning, that is,
just before the buds shoot out. All weak wood should be cut

out entirely, and strong shoots pruned to about one-third
of their length, being careful to have an eye looking outwards
at the extremity. In case of standards, closer pruning should
be resorted to, leaving only about 3 inches of the previous
year’s growth. Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses should be piuned
a little more severely. If large blooms are desired, pinch
off most of the lateral buds as soon as large enough to handle.

Fertilizers. In answer to the many inquiries as to which
is the best fertilizer to use for Roses, we would say that, if a
quick growth is desired to make a good bush, nitrate of soda
is highly beneficial. For producing a steady and lasting
effect, we think bone meal is preferable. The finely ground
sort is effective almost immediately, while the larger kind
enriches the soil for quite a time. However, as a matter of
preference, we advise the use of animal manure.

Transplanting. Rose bushes should be transplanted at
least once in three or four years. This forms a fine, healthy
root-system, which necessarily shows results in improved bush
and flowers.

Insects and Diseases. Mildew and green fly are the chief
enemies of the Rose. Powdered sulphur applied to the
wrinkled gray leaves is a simple but effective treatment for
the former. For aphis, or green fly, a solution of tobacco-
water, diluted to a consistency of the color of strong tea, will
stop their ravages.

Why Our Roses. Finally, we wish to point out that Roses
procured from us are out of the ground only during the transit
from our nursery to you and, further, they are acclimatized,
and in a robust condition, ready to grow right away; whereas
European Roses are dug in the fall, and stored until shipping
time, which is against the laws of Nature. When they arrive,
their chances of survival are lessened by having a different
climate and soil to contend with, all of which, after a long
journey, means an uphill fight.

Moral; Procure your Roses right here.

After years of severe testing and comparison as to hardi-
ness, durability, etc., we offer the following varieties — “the
cream of the bunch.”

HYBRID PERPETUALS

June Roses

Roses thus classified are the hardiest and most vigorous
growers of all. They produce the largest flowers, and attain
the zenith of their glory in June — hence the name. Although
they produce a few blooms throughout the summer, the results
cannot bear comparison with their exhibit in the “Month of
Roses.” For the most northerly states, we would recommend
the planting of chiefly Hybrid Perpetuals. These Roses in
this section are also favored by amateurs on account of their
adaptability and easiness to grow.

HYBRID TEA ROSES

Everblooming

As the name implies, the varieties in this section are the
result of crossing the Hybrid Perpetuals with the tea-scented

TEA ROSES

“Tea-Scented Roses’’

The original, pale blush, everblooming tea-scented Rose
was a Chinese introduction of 1810. This year should be
greatly blessed, as from this Rose have sprung the almost
innumerable varieties we now possess. The refined fragrance
and color of the flowers, when once known, are sufficient for
their installation in the garden of any flower-lover. The
glossy foliage is almost pest-proof, which is a great asset,
and renders them the most suitable Roses for pot-plants.

All rosarians will join us in lauding the grace and beauty of
this last, yet first, section, the color and scent of which is not
surpassed or even rivaled by any other garden inhabitant.
Belle Lyonnaise. Shining canary-yellow; beautiful shape and

Dorothy Perkins

CLIMBIfNG ROSES

These Roses are essentially veranda and pergola Roses.
They can be easily trained to cover large areas, and the fra-
grance of their beautiful flowers may be enjoyed from the
veranda which they shade.

Even when they have finished flowering, the leaves are
very persistent, giving them ornamental value on account
of their lustrous green color, which, in some cases, gradually
assumes a bronzy hue before falling.

Climbing American Beauty. Hybrid Tea. Vigorous,,
highly perfumed, climbing form of the American Beauty.
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

plant; vigorous, healthy growth with good foliage; very
free and fragrant.

widely known climber.

pink flowers, fragrant and full; handsome foliage; sturdy,
vigorous habit.

DR. VAN FLEET. W'ichuraiana. Best pink climber of
recent introduction. Immense blooms; soft, warm flesh-
color; very dark green foliage, which escapes most Rose
pests. 73 cts. and 50 cts. each, $7.50 and $5 per doz.
SILVER MOON. Wichuraiana. This Rose has created a
great stir among rosarians. The shimmering white flower
measures over 4 inches in diameter; very fragrant; promi-
nent yellow stamens; contrasting deep green foliage.
75 cts. and 50 cts. each, $7.50 and $5 per doz.

W. A. Richardson. Deep coppery yellow; prolific; vigorous.
Price of all, except where noted, 35 cts. each, S3. 50 per doz.

DWARF POLYANTHA ROSES, or BABY
RAMBLERS

One of the greatest assets of this class is the wondrously
long period of flowering, and the masses of blooms which last
until frost comes. For beds they excel, and even as single
pot-plants they are widely used and have a charm not to^be
excelled.

The low, bushy habit renders them very useful and pretty
for hedging, in which case one sees just a line of Rdses, these
being so profuse as to almost hide the foliage. The color tones
in this section are worthy of remark, the delicate blendings
pass imperceptibly from one color to another, ranging from
pure white to crimson.

Annie Muller. Large trusses; bright pink, petals reflexed;
great bloomers.

Baby Dorothy. Daughter of Dorothy Perkins. Flowers
clear pink, full and free; pretty, small, hardy variety.

ROSES ESSENTIALLY FOR COVERING
ROCKS, BANKS, ETC.

Often there are some unsightly objects in view from a
window or doorway, and one of the quickest and best things
to cover them is a trailing Rose. After planting, they need
no attention, and indeed look best when allowed to ramble
on at their own sweet will. In the place of the hitherto eye-
sore, you will have a n ^ ' ~

YELLOW ROSES

Nothing can describe the beauteous shadings of these
yellow Roses. They have, perhaps, afforded greater pleasure

matter to obtain a real yellow Rose; today you can satisfy
any desire in that direction. These are literally the last word
in Roses.

TREE OR STANDARD ROSES

These ornamental Tree Roses are necessary for the com-
pletion of a Rose-garden. They relieve the flat appearance of
all bush Roses together, and give the flowers a certain indi-
viduality. Planted among shrubbery Standards are seen to
advantage, flowering above the surrounding foliage and, being
higher, their delicate fragrance is more noticeable.

A word in explanation about our Standard and Half-
Standard Roses will, we think, be in place here. We wish our
patrons to be quite clear as to why our Tree Roses are greatly
superior to imported stock. They should, in no case, be con-
fused or compared, as the latter often arrive with some of
the roots more or less dried out so that the sap is not cir-
culated freely enough up the long stem and through the head,
which eventually dies as a direct result.

After years of disappointment from this cause, we decided
to raise our own Tree Roses, so that now we bud and grow the
stock sent out from our nurseries. So profitable has been the
result that our Roses make a fine vigorous growth, enabling
them to withstand hard weather and annually produce a
better display. Another thing we wish to point out is, that
we only select those Roses that grow best as Tree Roses, while
in most cases varieties are indiscriminately used for this
purpose, often with dire results.

These things we have learned from practical experience,
which, after all, is the best teacher.

Our stock is budded on the extremely hardy Rugosa stems,
and we can supply those Roses either in pots or field-grown.
Those here listed are just a selection — any others can be
supplied as requested.

14

A M E R I C A N - G R O W N ROSES

It is necessary to give Standard Roses some support, and a
stake about the same thickness as the Rose-stem should be
used. This should be fixed on the south or sunny side, in
order to afford some protection to the stem from the heat of
the sun.

POT-GROWN ROSES FOR SUMMER
PLANTING

The merit of pot-grown Roses is that they may be planted
out any time during the summer. Sometimes varieties may
be overlooked when planting in spring, or death may occur,
and then, by using our pot-grown Roses, the gap may be filled
at once, to bloom right away, instead of waiting till next
planting season.

Also a pretty natural show can be created on the veranda,
lawn or anywhere desired, if the Roses are kept in their pots.
W^e have a fine selection of the standard varieties grown in this
way. All are strong, sturdy and vigorous, with an abundance
of roots, and will give an immediate and lasting effect.

THE LAYING OUT AND PLANTING OF
ROSE-GARDENS

Is not only a large branch of our business, but a favorite hobby,
and, if you are in doubt as to which varieties to use, leave the
selection to us, and we will supply you with a continuous season
of pleasure.

OUR FORMAL ROSE-GARDEN

Several years ago we added to our list of attractions a
Formal Rose-Garden, in which we have planted 5,000 plants
in about 300 varieties. We are constantly changing this
garden, bringing it up to date with the new and standard
varieties that are originated by rosarians.

This garden has been especially made for lovers of Roses
who visit our nursery. From early spring until late autumn
there is always an attractive display of flowers, and much
information can be gathered regarding the character of the
different varieties of Roses which we are growing.

Our garden is surrounded by ornamental rustic work, on
which we have growing the leading climbing and trailing
varieties, which are in bloom from time to time during the
season.

Anyone visiting our nursery, who is interested in Roses,
should not fail to inspect our Rose-Garden.

In addition to the Roses listed in this booklet, we are
growing many hundreds of other kinds and varieties. If you
will submit your list, we shall be glad to give you prices on
any varieties you may desire. A more complete collection
will be found listed in our Illustrated General Catalogue,
but even that list enumerates only a small number of the
varieties we grow.

Besides Roses, we are growing in our 300 acres of nursery
Evergreens, Rhododendrons, Shade and Fruits Trees, Shrubs,
Vines, Hardy Herbaceous Plants, Bay Trees and Decorative
Plants. We also manufacture Plant-Tubs, English Garden
Furniture, Window-Boxes and Rustic Work.

Our illustrated General Catalogue describes these and
other beautiful things which we are growing.

Money well spent is money saved. Come to see what
you are buying and ask for our catalogue.

Take the Erie Main Line from New York City, and get
out at Carlton Hill, the second stop. It is then three minutes’
walk to where you will see our World’s Choicest Nursery
Products.
