One  of  our  Rose  fields  in  bloom 


AMERICAN-GROWN  ROSES 

The  Rose  plants  grown  by  us — listed  and  described  in  this  catalogue — are 
known  as  two-year-old,  low-budded,  field-grown  plants.  And  why  are  they  known 
as  such?  Because  it  takes  two  full  growing  seasons  for  the  plants  to  develop  after 
the  budding  process. 

We  use  largely  Rosa  multiflora  for  what  is  known  by  Rose-growers  as  the  stock. 
These  plants  have  been  growing  in  the  field,  in  their  permanent  place,  for  several 
months  previous  to  budding.  The  term  budding  means  the  insertion  of  a bud  in 
the  stem  of  the  stock  plant,  directly  above  the  root-system,  or,  on  account  of  the 
peculiar  formation  of  the  plant,  it  may  be  said  that  the  eye  is  really  inserted  in  the 
root-system,  as  the  part  of  the  plant  below  the  branches  appears  to  be  all  roots. 

The  reason  this  method  of  cultivation  has  been  adopted  is  because  few  varieties 
of  Hybrid  Teas,  Teas,  Pernetianas,  Hybrid  Perpetuals,  and  some  others  will  grow 
satisfactorily  on  their  own  roots,  and  even  when  certain  varieties  do  make  sufficient 
roots  of  their  own,  they  are  usually  so  weak  that  the  plant  never  becomes  strong 
enough  to  produce  vigorous  growth  and  perfect  flowers. 

Despite  the  fact  that  our  nursery  enterprise  involves  the  production  of  every 
good  thing  that  will  grow  in  America,  carried  on,  with  the  aid  of  a large  body  of 
skilled  propagators  and  cultivators,  over  several  hundred  acres  of  selected  land, 
we  consider  that  Rose-production  is  the  heart  of  the  enterprise. 

We  produce,  each  year,  several  hundred  thousand  Rose  plants  in  hundreds  of 
varieties,  and  have  constantly  more  than  60  acres  devoted  to  the  cultivation  of  the 
Rose  and  the  stock  upon  which  it  is  budded,  for  our  Rose-growing  work  is  complete, 
not  depending  on  others  for  the  vital  root-system  which  controls  the  life  of  every 
outdoor  Rose. 

We  present  in  the  following  pages  our  completely  revised  catalogue,  increased 
in  scope  and  variety,  and  made  particularly  accurate  in  description  and  statement. 
We  have  added  many  illustrations- — more  than  seventy-five  in  color — to  aid  in  the 
selection  of  the  Roses  that  will  do  best  anywhere  in  America.

Isimerican  - Grown  Rqsgs — Bobbink  <f  yitkms 


Novel  features  in  this  catalogue  will  be  found  to  include  designations  of  Roses 
by  color,  so  that  it  is  possible  and  much  more  convenient  to  select  on  that  basis, 
and  also  lists  of  Roses  for  special  uses. 

It  is  in  the  interest  of  satisfaction  that  we  urge  our  friends  to  advise  us  early  of 
their  wants,  so  that  we  may  more  efficiently  serve  them.  With  so  large  an  assort- 
ment, some  varieties  are  grown  in  limited  numbers. 

While  we  suggest  that  those  who  intend  to  buy  our  Rose  plants  make  their 
own  selection  of  varieties,  we  offer  real  advantages  to  those  who  will  permit  us  to 
select  for  them  twenty-five  or  more  Roses  in  one  order,  the  only  requirement  being 
a statement  of  the  purpose,  the  locations  to  be  planted  and  color  preferred. 

It  is  our  ambition  to  provide  suitable  Roses  for  every  part  of  America,  and  we 
want  those  who  buy  from  us  to  feel  that  we,  too,  are  interested  in  making  the 
American  nation  the  real  world-home  of  the  garden  Rose,  so  that  the  fine  motto  of 
the  American  Rose  Society,  “A  Rose  for  every  home,  a bush  for  every  garden,” 
may  be  realized. 

We  collect  varieties  of  Roses  from  all  parts  of  the  earth  and  try  them  out;  our 
experimenting  and  testing  are  unique  and  can  be  seen  by  visitors  to  our  Nursery. 

We  lead  in  having  developed  an  American  source  of  good  Roses,  and  the  plants 
we  supply  are  not  only  adapted  to  this  continent,  but  can  obviously  reach  the 
aspiring  Rose-grower  in  good  condition  in  every  country  where  Roses  are  known, 
grown,  and  loved. 

We  shall  be  pleased  to  have  every  lover  of  Roses  visit  our  Rose-fields  during  the 
growing  season.  The  past  summer  many  hundreds  of  our  customers  came  to  see 
the  Roses  in  bloom.  There  were  times  when  hundreds  of  thousands  of  beautiful 
and  perfect  flowers  could  be  seen  at  one  time  on  many  varieties  of  Roses.  You  are 
invited  to  participate  in  this  pleasure.

INSURING  ROSE  PROSPERITY 


The  Time  to  Plant  Roses 

Roses  may  be  planted  either  in  the  fall  or  in 
the  spring.  Many  experienced  growers  prefer 
fall  planting  because  then  there  is  less  haste,  the 
ground  is  warm,  and  the  plants  are  in  position, 
ready  to  take  advantage  of  the  first  spring  push. 
(See  suggestions  for  fall  planting  on  next  page.) 

Spring  Planting 

By  far  the  larger  part  of  Rose-planting  is  done 
in  the  spring.  It  should  be  done  early,  and  we 
again  urgently  request  our  friends  to  place  their 
Rose  orders  in  midwinter,  so  that  shipment  may 
be  made  at  the  most  favorable  time  for  insuring 
success. 

Late  Spring  Planting 

For  those  who  for  any  reason  are  prevented 
from  early  spring  planting,  we  have  provided  in 
all  the  leading  varieties  a limited  supply  of  Roses 
which  have  been  started  in  pots,  not  in  green- 
houses but  in  coldframes,  and  these  we  can  ship 
for  garden  extension  or  garden  replacement  at 
any  time  while  they  last. 

Getting  Ready  for  Roses 

While  Roses  will  endure  poor  conditions  and 
flower  under  such  conditions,  the  success  which 
follows  proper  preparation  makes  that  prepara- 
tion always  advisable. 

Deep  preparation  of  the  soil  is  often  urged, 
even  to  as  much  as  3 feet,  and  while  in  cases 
where  drainage  is  poor  this  is  important,  it  is  by 
no  means  always  essential.  Good  results  may 
be  had  with  far  less  expense  and  trouble.  To 
stir  the  ground  thoroughly  to  the  depth  of  two 
spade-shoves,  put  down  honestly  9 inches  each 
shove,  will  usually  provide  for  root  prosperity. 

If  the  ground  is  soggy  or  wet,  there  must  be 
drainage  provided — Roses  want  plenty  of  water 
passing  through  the  soil,  but  they  will  not  endure 
wet  feet!  Rough  clods,  stones,  bats,  etc.,  to  a 
depth  of  6 inches  will  do  the  draining. 

Roses  are  not  dainty  feeders.  They  like  strong 
soil  and  plenty  of  food.  The  heavy  soils,  like 
those  of  clay,  seem  to  please  them  most,  though 
even  in  sand  they  will  do  well  if  additional  food 
is  supplied. 

Well-rotted  manure — cow  manure  preferred, 
stable  manure  nearly  as  good — is  the  key  that 
unlocks  the  flower  gates  for  Roses.  Plenty  of  it, 
to  the  extent  of  one-third  the  whole  bulk  that 
has  been  stirred  up;  well-rotted  for  certain; 
thoroughly  mixed  in  the  soil,  so  that  the  Rose 
roots  may  easily  find  it;  and  the  planter  may  feel 
that  he  has  done  his  part. 

Bone-meal  will  help,  if  available,  especially 
when  worked  into  the  soil  as  planting  is  done,  at 
rate  of  a large  trowelful  to  a plant.  Commercial 
sheep  manure,  in  the  same  proportion,  is  useful. 

Scotch  soot,  resulting  from  the  burning  of 


peat,  is  of  known  value,  both  as  a fertilizer  for 
spring  dressing  and  to  bother  the  bugs;  and  any 
soot  from  a chimney  above  a wood-fire  is  valuable. 

Well-rotted  manure  is  the  standby  of  the 
Rose-grower,  however.  Put  in  plenty,  and  then 
put  in  some  more  when  the  beds  are  prepared. 
Dig  more  in  each  spring;  keep  at  it;  Roses  often 
starve  to  death,  but  seldom  die  of  indigestion! 


Planting  Roses 

If  at  all  practicable,  the  Rose-bed  ought  to  be 
ready  long  enough  before  the  Roses  come  to 
permit  the  ground  thoroughly  to  settle.  For 
early  spring  planting  the  preparation  might  well 
be  made  the  preceding  autumn,  while  for  the 
desirable  fall  planting  several  weeks  of  “settling” 
will  help,  though  not  essential. 

When  the  Roses  arrive  from  our  nurseries,  the 
planter  should  have  the  ground  ready.  Open 
the  package  and  separate  the  bundles,  then  “heel 
in” — which  is  simply  loose  planting  in  a slanting 
trench — so  that  the  plants  can  be  taken  for 
setting  2 or  3 at  a time.  Keep  the  roots  covered 
all  the  time,  and  if  it  is  windy,  carry  the  plants 
to  the  place  of  planting  in  a pail  of  water.  Rose 
roots  are  not  intended  to  be  exposed  to  the  air; 
they  belong  in  the  ground. 

After  the  hole  is  dug  and  ready,  take  a plant 
and  carefully  prune  any  mangled  ends  of  the 
roots,  using  a sharp  knife  or  prun- 
ing shears.  If  planting  in  the  fall,  cut 
the  top  but  slightly,  so  that  the  final 
pruning  may  be  done  in  the  spring. 

If  in  spring,  trim  back  all  branches 
to  not  more  than  3 to  6 “eyes,”  or 
buds,  and  remove  entirely  all  but 
the  3 or  4 strongest  shoots. 

(See  illustration.) 

Set  the  plant  in  the  hole, 
which  ought  to  be  larger  than 
the  net  space  required, 
spreading  out  the  roots  care- 
fully, so  that  fine  earth  can 
be  brought 
into  contact 
with  them. 

When  they 
are  thus 

separated  and  covered,  fill  in  more 
good  soil  over  the  roots,  firming  it 
down  with  the  hands.  When  the 
hole  is  full,  stamp  the  soil  firmly 
with  the  feet.  Roses  will  not  do 
well  if  loosely  planted;  the  roots 
love  firm  soil. 

Plant  about  2 inches  deeper 
than  the  “crown”  from  which  the 
shoots  arise.  This  deep  planting  is 
essential.  (See  illustration.)

Cultivation  and  Protection 

Roses  need  continuous  cultivation.  Keep  the 
soil  stirred,  so  that  it  does  not  cake  about  them, 
but  do  not  cultivate  deeper  than  2 inches. 

Water  thoroughly  when  the  Roses  are  planted. 
This  means  that  the  ground  ought  to  be  soaked 
to  the  depth  of  the  planting.  During  the  growing 
season  a real,  thorough  watering  once  a week  will 
help.  Do  not  “sprinkle”  and  think  you  are 
watering.  Soak  the  ground  when  you  do  water, 
and  then  do  not  again  water  until  the  surface  is 
quite  dry. 

Protect  from  bugs  and  bothers  by  spraying 
with  bordeaux  mixture  (see  any  good  Rose  book 
for  details)  several  times  prior  to  June  30,  begin- 
ning while  the  plants  are  dormant.  If  the  green 
aphis  or  plant  louse  comes,  spray  with  a solution  of 
Ivory  or  other  soap,  or  with  a weak  solution  of 
some  nicotine  preparation,  like  “Black-Leaf  40.” 

Very  good  results  have  followed  the  use  of  a 
mulch  of  about  3 inches  of  tobacco  stems,  the 
refuse  from  cigar  factories.  The  earth  is  kept 
cool  and  the  aphis  repelled. 

The  dreaded  “black  spot”  is  less  likely  to 
bother  our  outdoor-grown,  husky  Roses  than 
those  that  have  been  greenhouse  infected.  Pick 
up  and  burn  all  dropped  leaves,  cultivate  thor- 
oughly, cut  flowers  with  liberal  stems,  and  vig- 
orous growth  will  act  as  the  best  protection 
against  insects  and  diseases. 

The  1922  American  Rose  Annual  prints  in  its 
complete  article  on  rose  insects  and  diseases  a 
dependable  treatment  for  “black  spot.”  Before 
the  disease  appears,  the  plants  are  to  be  dusted 
(using  a “dust  gun”)  with  a mixture  of  nine  parts 
dusting  sulphur  to  one  part  powdered  lead 
arsenate,  and  this  treatment,  repeated  each  three 


Captain  Hayward.  See  page  37 


weeks  during  the  summer,  will  also  protect 
against  powdery  mildew  and  certain  insects. 

When  winter  comes  and  the  ground  has  frozen, 
Hybrid  Tea  and  Tea  Roses  need  protection 
against  the  sun  and  the  thawing  of  warm  winter 
days.  Evergreen  boughs  are  ideal  for  this  pro- 
tection. In  severe  climates  Roses  are  protected 
by  covering  with  earth,  and  sometimes  by  also 
covering  with  boards  to  shed  water. 

The  Hybrid  Perpetuals  are  hardy,  as  are  most 
of  the  Climbers,  but  a little  protection  is  alto- 
gether worth  while  for  all  of  them.  In  this  matter, 
as  in  other  matters  of  Rose  prosperity,  association 
with  other  Rose-lovers  is  invaluable.  Join  the 
American  Rose  Society,  read  its  Annuals,  and 
talk  with  the  Rose  friends  you  will  find  in  your 
vicinity.  It  is  worth  while. 

Using  Cut  Roses 

To  get  the  full  value  of  the  cut  flowers,  Roses 
should  be  cut  when  the  bud  is  half  opened,  using 
a sharp  scissors,  knife,  or  pruning-shears,  and 
taking  as  long  a stem  as  possible  without  muti- 
lating the  bush  or  removing  the  young  buds 
which  will  later  develop.  It  is  best  to  cut  either 
in  the  cool  of  the  evening  or  in  early  morning, 
plunging  the  stems  deeply  into  a vase  filled  with 
water,  which  should  be  left  for  an  hour  at  least 
in  a cool,  dark  place. 

Suggestions  for  Fall  Planting  of  Roses 

Upon  receipt  of  the  plants,  open  the  bundle 
and  give  them  a thorough  watering,  or  immerse 
the  plants  in  a pail  or  tub  of  water  for  a few  hours. 
Do  not  allow  plants  to  be  exposed  to  sun  and 
wind.  After  removing  them  from  the  water,  cut 
away  roots  that  may  be  broken  or  damaged. 

Prepare  the  soil  as  before  directed.  In  plant- 
ing, dig  a hole  sufficiently  large  to  accom- 
modate the  roots  when  spread  out  on  the 
bottom  of  the  hole,  the  same  as  you  would  spread 
your  hand  on  a flat  surface.  In  filling  in  the  soil, 
shake  the  plant  lightly  in  order  that  the  soil  may 
mix  between  the  roots,  then  fill  in  the  soil  and 
firm  it  in  order  that  the  plant  may  be  solid.  Be 
sure  to  see  that  the  lower  parts  of  the  lower 
branches  are  below  the  surface  of  the  soil. 

Before  cold  weather  sets  in  and  the  frost  enters 
the  ground,  mound  the  soil  around  the  branches 
of  the  plant  to  a height  of  at  least  8 to  12  inches, 
and  then  cover  with  loose  litter.  This  will  prevent 
the  wind  and  sun  drying  the  branches  during  the 
winter.  At  the  proper  time  in  the  spring,  remove 
the  soil  and  cut  back  the  branches  to  within  4 
to  6 inches  of  the  ground. 

In  the  cultivation  of  Roses,  the  soil  cannot  be 
too  tight  at  the  roots  and  too  loose  on  the  surface. 

In  the  spring,  the  soil  should  be  removed  and 
the  branches  of  the  plant  cut  back  to  within  4 to 
6 inches  of  the  ground.  A calm  day  during  a dull 
or  rainy  period  should  be  chosen,  as  the  wood  will 
suffer  very  much  if  exposed  to  the  sun  and  wind 
after  being  uncovered.

WHAT  ROSES  TO  PLANT 

Embraced  in  the  following  pages  will  be  found  certainly  the  largest  collection  of  Rose  varieties 
available  anywhere  in  America,  well-grown  plants  of  which  can  be  procured  by  our  customers.  To 
make  more  easily  practicable  proper  consideration  of  this  great  list,  purchasers  are  recommended  to 
thoughtfully  read  the  following  statements  before  completing  their  orders. 


The  Everblooming  Roses,  so  called,  include 
Hybrid  Tea,  Pernetiana,  and  Tea  Roses,  grouped 
in  one  alphabetical  order  but  designated  in  their 
respective  classes  by  suitable  initials.  These 
Roses  give  the  widest  range  of  beautiful  flowers 
over  the  longest  season,  in  the  complete  gamut 
of  all  colors  yet  known  in  the  Rose.  Most  of  them 
are  fragrant.  They  are  not  all  reliably  hardy  all 
over  the  United  States,  but  if  protected  as 
recommended  in  this  catalogue,  they  can  be 
grown  anywhere  on  the  continent,  even  to  and 
beyond  the  shores  of  Hudson  Bay. 

The  special  qualifications  and  origins  relating 
to  each  of  these  classes  included  under  the  one 
head  of  “Everblooming”  are  given  in  following 
pages.  It  is  here  in  point  to  commend  them  as 
suitable  for  gardens  everywhere,  because  they 
provide  within  a few  weeks  after  planting,  and 
more  or  less  frequently  all  through  the  growing 
season,  the  most  beautiful  Roses  yet  known  to 
man. 

Polyantha  Roses  follow,  and  might  well  be 
embraced  with  the  Everbloomers,  because  they 
are  constantly  in  flower  all  through  the  growing 
season.  They  are  characterized  by  dwarf  and 
compact  habit  and  by  their  clustered  flowers, 
which  include  a wide  range  of  color.  They  are 
best  planted  in  front  of  other  Everblooming  Roses. 

Hardy  Climbing  Roses  include  those  of  the 
Multiflora  and  of  the  Wichuraiana  parentage,  and 
the  list  here  presented,  much  the  largest  available 
anywhere  in  America,  provides  a wide  range  of 
the  most  beautiful  flowers,  borne  usually  in  one 
great  burst  in  early  summer  on  plants  of  splendid 
vigor  which  can  be  used  in  the  different  varieties 
to  cover  gateways,  porches,  fences,  pergolas, 
hedges,  and  trellises,  to  trail  over  banks  to  be 
protected,  or  as  beautiful  “pillars”  in  the  garden, 
or,  indeed,  with  a little  training,  as  admirable 
bushes  in  the  shrubbery.  For  the  most  part 
they  bloom  but  once,  but  they  then  justify  them- 
selves as  fully  as  does  any  lilac  or  spirea. 

Other  Climbing  Roses  follow,  including  the 
climbing  sports  of  the  Hybrid  Teas  and  similar 
forms,  mostly  not  quite  so  hardy  as  those  above 
mentioned  and  not  providing  the  one  wonderful 
burst  of  bloom  in  June,  though  blooming  recur- 
rently through  the  season.  In  suitable  localities 
these  Roses  are  of  great  value  and  beauty. 

Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses  are  those  of  rugged 
hardiness,  showing  flowers  of  enormous  size,  the 
most  brilliant  colors,  and  the  sweetest  fragrance. 


that  provide  a most  notable  bloom  crop  in  early 
summer,  thereafter  blooming  but  sparsely,  if  at 
all,  in  the  fall,  save  for  one  or  two  that  are  con- 
tinuous under  good  culture.  These  Roses  are  of 
taller  growth  than  the  Everblooming  and  Poly- 
antha Roses. 

Austrian  Brier  Roses  include  several  sorts  of 
hardiness,  excellence,  and  unique  beauty.  These 
are  taller  in  growth  and  require  careful  consid- 
eration in  placing  them. 

Rugosa  Roses  and  their  hybrids  provide  dis- 
tinct and  beautiful  foliage,  with  flowers  of  a 
wide  range  of  beauty  and  fragrance,  freely  pro- 
duced in  early  summer,  and  recurrently  later,  on 
plants  of  the  most  rampant  vigor  but  not  of 
climbing  habit.  These  desirable  Roses  make 
good  defensive  hedges,  may  be  trained  to  novel 
forms,  and  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  blossoms  and  are  primarily  useful 
as  bold  and  broad  objects  in  the  shrubbery. 

Moss  Roses  belong  with  the  Hybrid  Perpetual 
Roses,  being  characterized  by  one  blooming 
season  and  by  their  flowers  of  unique  beauty, 
the  buds  showing  the  mossy  covering  which 
distinguishes  them.  They  are  ruggedly  hardy. 

The  Wild  Roses  and  Rose  Species  are  the 
natural  forms  of  the  Rose,  American,  European, 
Chinese  and  Japanese,  which  have  persisted  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  them. 

Miscellaneous  Roses  follow,  including  some 
of  the  oldest  forms  known  to  cultivation,  among 
the  Damask,  Musk,  French,  Provence,  Cabbage, 
Bengal,  and  Bourbon  types.  These  Roses  also 
are  generally  best  in  shrubbery  relationships,  or 
as  borders,  or  in  beds  in  large  Rose-gardens,  or 
for  particular  purposes  in  the  gardens  of  those 
who  know  them.  They  are  for  the  most  part 
completely  hardy,  long-lived,  and  enduring. 

It  should  be  noted  that  while  we  have  above 
explained  and  have  mentioned  elsewhere  in  this 
catalogue  the  particular  uses  of  different  classes 
of  Roses,  and  are  mentioning  in  several  depart- 
ments those  most  adapted  for  special  uses  and 
situations,  we  will  be  pleased  to  give  further 
advice  to  inquirers.

New  Hybrid  Wichuraiana  Rose,  Mary  Wallace 


Named  by  the  Portland  Rose  Society  in  honor  of  the  daughter  of  Secretary  of  Agriculture 
Wallace.  It  was  originated  at  the  Maryland  Station  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture  by  the  late 

lamented  Dr.  W.  Van  Fleet,  one  of  the  world’s 
greatest  rosarians,  who  has  given  us  such  world- 
famed  varieties  as  American  Pillar,  Silver  Moon, 
Dr.  Van  Fleet,  and  many  other  meritorious  sorts 
Mary  Wallace  is  the  first  of  a series  of  what  has 
been  called  “dooryard”  Roses,  that  is  expected 
to  be  of  great  usefulness  and  adaptability,  and 
to  the  production  of  which  Dr.  Van  Fleet  was 
giving  his  best  endeavors  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

The  Department  describes  it  as  a pillar 
Rose,  making  a fine,  strong,  self-supporting 
plant  6 to  8 feet  high,  with  large,  glossy  foliage, 
blooming  with  great  freedom  in  spring  and 
bearing  a considerable  number  of  fine  buds  in 
summer  and  fall.  Flowers  very  large,  generally 
exceeding  4 inches  across,  well-formed,  semi- 
of  a bright  clear  rose-pink,  with  salmon 
Allowed  space  to  develop,  it  makes  a 
graceful  bush  from  4 to  5 feet  high,  clothed  all 
over  with  its  pleasing,  disease-resisting  foliage, 
which  gives  it  the  “dooryard”  auality  that  was 
Dr.  Van  Fleet’s  ideal.  It  can  also  be  used  as  a 
pillar  or  low  climber.  Hardy,  having  been  tested 
in  northern  New  York  and  New  England.

Rutherford,  N.  J.  THE  EVERBLOOMING  ROSES 


THE  EVERBLOOMING  ROSES 


INCLUDING  HYBRID  TEA,  PERNETIANA,  AND  TEA  ROSES 

BY  FAR  the  larger  number  of  Roses  grown  in  the  gardens  and  dooryards  of  America 
i are  in  the  so-called  “everblooming”  class,  though  it  would  be  much  better  if  the 
class  came  to  be  known  as  including  “recurrent-blooming”  Roses.  The  distinction 
between  these  Roses  and  all  other  Roses  hardy  in  the  northern  part  of  the  United  States, 
save  the  separately  mentioned  Polyantha  class,  is  that  these  recurrent-blooming  sorts 
furnish  flowers  on  the  new  growth  through  the  blooming  season,  and  if  they  are  kept  growing 
one  crop  of  bloom  succeeds  another;  whereTore  they  are  called  “everblooming.” 

Among  these  Roses  are  found  the  results  of  the  utmost  endeavors  of  the  great  Rose 
hybridizers  of  the  world  for  more  than  a half-century  since  Guillot  in  1867  sent  out  the 
first  Hybrid  Tea,  La  France.  In  this  half-century  of  endeavor,  size,  form,  variety  of  color, 
fragrance,  and  general  beauty  and  adaptability  have  all  advanced  more  than  in  the  previous 
two  thousand  years  of  Rose  history. 

These  Roses  are  approximately  hardy  over  the  intensive  garden  sections  of  the  United 
States,  and  are  freely  grown  in  Canada  and  regions  as  cold  with  suitable  and  not  difficult 
protection.  But  though  they  should  not  survive  a winter,  it  is  the  belief  of  many  Rose- 
lovers  that  these  everblooming  Roses  TuIIy  justify  themselves  within  one  season,  for  it  is 
entirely  practicable  to  plant  Roses  early  in  the  spring  and  to  secure  from  the  resulting 
vigorously  growing  bushes  so  great  a reward  in  lovely  flowers  as  to  far  more  than  repay 
the  moderate  expenditure  involved. 

It  is  in  the  production  of  these  most  important  of  all  Roses  in  American  gardens  that 
skill,  experience,  and  research  count  for  most.  Our  American-grown,  outdoor-reared 
plants,  which  have  not  passed  a single  moment  under  glass  in  greenhouses,  are  budded  on 
the  best  stock  known  to  commerce,  and  are  consequently  such  as  will  give  assured  satis- 
faction under  proper  handling.

Rutherford,  M.  J. 


THE  EVERBLOOMING  ROSES 


The  Hybrid  Teas  (designated  hereafter  by  the  letters  HT)  include  the  major  part 
of  this  list,  resulting  from  crosses  between  the  tender  Tea  Roses  and  the  ruggedly  hardy 
Hybrid  Perpetual  garden  Roses.  They  supply  the  widest  range  of  beauty  in  color  and 
form,  of  fragrance  and  fine  habit,  and  if  nurtured  and  protected  as  recommended  in  this 
catalogue,  are  completely  dependable. 

The  Pernetiana  Roses  (designated  hereafter  by  the  abbreviation  Per.)  are  a 
relatively  new  class,  mostly  resulting  from  the  generation  of  effort  placed  upon  combina- 
tions between  other  Hybrid  Teas  and  the  brilliantly  colored  Austrian  Brier  type  by  Mons. 
Pernet-Ducher,  a devoted  French  hybridizer.  They  supply  the  tints  of  yellow,  salmon, 
orange  and  flame-crimson  not  otherwise  found,  and  are  characterized  not  only  by  beauty 
and  color  of  blooms,  but  usually  by  good  fragrance  and  by  deep  green  leathery  foliage. 
They  have  a certain  susceptibility  to  the  “black  spot”  disease,  which,  however,  can  be 
successfully  controlled  by  following  the  directions  given  on  page  6. 

The  Tea  Roses  (designated  hereafter  by  the  letter  T)  are  the  basis  of  the  everbloom- 
ing  class,  and  are  primarily  the  earlier  development  of  varieties  from  the  more  tropical 
forms  that  bloom  on  the  wood  of  the  current  year.  They  include  some  of  our -finest  and 
most  desirable  varieties,  and  they  can  be  carried  over  comfortably  by  protective  treatment 
just  a little  more  complete  than  that  given  the  Hybrid  Teas.  The  first  Tea  Roses  came 
from  China  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century.  They  were  first  introduced  by 
Guillot  in  1873  crossing  between  Climbers  and  Rosa  indica. 

The  Polyantha  Roses,  which  actually  deserve  the  designation  of  “everblooming” 
more  than  any  other  Roses,  are  treated  separately  on  page  40. 

All  these  Roses  are  $1  each,  $9  for  10,  for  strong  field-grown  plants,  except  where  otherwise  priced

& Son  Co.,  1912.)  Another  excellent  develop- 
ment of  the  Killarney  family,  bearing  distinct 
clear  pink  blooms,  somewhat  darker  than  the 
parent  sort,  these  blooms  being  large  and  well-

bright  pink  to  silvery  pink,  its  notable  full 
ovoid  form,  and  its  altogether  unique  fragrance. 
The  plant  seems  to  do  best  in  poor  soil,  where 
when  established  the  bloom  is  abundant.

pink,  with  deeper  center,  in  large  and  full  flow-

borne  on  an  unusually  vigorous 
bush,  and  persisting  during  the 
whole  season.  One  of  the  very 
best  Roses.  (See  illustration,

carmine-pink,  shading  to  golden 
yellow  at  the  base  of  the  petals.

the  center  than  at  the  edge.  Ex- 
cellent for  garden  or  greenhouse 
and  a profuse  bloomer  all  season 
until  frost.  (See  illustration, 
page  23.)

when  worn  as  corsage  bouquets,  and  for  these  purposes  are  strongly  recommended.  They

Hermosa 


CHINA  OR  BENGAL  ROSES 

Here  are  included  Roses  of  dwarf  but 
vigorous  habit,  and  continual  bloomers.  They 
need  light  protection  north  of  Washington, 
though  Hermosa  is  as  hardy  anywhere  as  the 
Hybrid  Tea  Roses. 

These  Roses  have  very  fine  wood  and  are 
difficult  to  propagate  by  budding.  Some  of  the 
plants  will,  therefore,  be  on  their  own  roots. 

The  China  or  Bengal  Roses  are  $1  each  for  strong 
field-grown  plants 

CHIN-CHIN.  (Hobbies,  1909.)  Medium  double  sul- 
phur-yellow blooms. 

COMTESSE  DU  CAYLA.  (P.  Guillot,  1902.)  Nas- 
turtium-red to  orange-yellow.  Double  flowers;  very  fine.

vigorous;  free-flowering.

center,  semi-double. 

HERMOSA.  (Marcheseau,  1840.)  Medium-sized,  full  flowers  of 
soft  pink,  continuously  produced  on  a sturdy  plant.  Has  been  a 
standard  constant  blooming  sort  for  more  than  two  generations, 
its  symmetrically  formed  blooms  always  winning  admiration.  Does 
well  in  pots. 


HOF  GARTNER  KOLB.  (Felberg-Leclerc, 
1914.)  Flowers  large,  full  and  fragrant,  bright 
carmine  in  color,  with  transparent  yellow  center, 
the  outer  petals  shaded  bright  red.  Plant 
vigorous  and  bushy. 

MME.  EUGENE  RESAL.  (P.  Guillot,  1894.) 
Buds  nasturtium-red  on  orange-yellow;  flowers 
large,  double,  rosy  pink  shaded  orange — a very 
beautiful  color  combination  and  much  admired. 
Vigorous  grower.  The  first  entry  of  yellow 
shades  into  the  class  which  provides  all  the  con- 
stant blooming  tendency. 


MME.  LAURETTE  MESSIMY.  (Guillot, 
1887.)  Bright  China  pink  on  coppery  rose-pink. 
Long-pointed  bud.  Large,  full  flower.  Vigorous

OLD  BLUSH.  (Parsons,  1796.)  The  origin  of 
this  class.  All  pink.  Floriferous.  Beautiful  buds.

HYBRID  PERPETUAL  ROSES 


Rathorford,  M J 


The  June  display  of  the  Hybrid  Perpetuals  is  of  great  magnificence 


HYBRID  PERPETUAL  ROSES 


THESE  Roses  are  the  completely  hardy,  vigorous  sorts  that  are  dependable  in  all 
parts  of  the  United  States,  though  they  are  not,  as  their  name  implies,  perpetual 
in  bloom.  They  produce  in  June  the  great  and  overpowering  burst  of  bloom  that 
makes  it  the  month  of  brides  and  Roses.  They  are  worth  while  because  of  this  bloom 
quality,  and  because  when  they  do  bloom  in  June  they  produce  a far  greater  show  of  flowers 
than  is  possible  to  any- everblooming  sort.  They  include  also  forms  that  are  fuller  and 
sweeter  and  larger  than  those  found  in  any  other  class,  and  they  therefore  form  the  frame- 
work of  the  Rose-garden,  while  in  the  more  northern  locations  they  are  the  only  Roses 
that  may  be  depended  upon  for  complete  hardiness.  Some  of  them  produce  flowers  in  the 
fall,  particularly  if  the  foliage  is  kept  free  from  disease  and  the  plants  are  fertilized.  They 
were  first  introduced  in  1848  by  Laffay. 

All  these  Roses  are  $1  each,  $9  for  10,  except  where  noted,  for  strong  field-grown  plants 


ALFRED  COLOMB.  (Lacharme,  1865.)  Straw- 
berry-red, with  crimson-carmine  reflexes;  large, 
full,  very  free,  and  hardy. 

ALFRED  K.  WILLIAMS.  (Schwartz,  1877.) 
Carmine-red,  changing  to  magenta;  large,  full, 
of  imbricated  form,  fragrant.  Growth  moderate. 

AMERICAN  BEAUTY.  (Bancroft,  1886.) 
This  famous  Rose  of  the  florists  is  in  reality  the 
French  rose,  Mme.  Ferdinand  Jamin,  but  was 
imported  by  the  historian  Bancroft  in  1886  and 
at  his  suggestion  later  introduced  as  American 
Beauty  by  a Washington  florist.  Its  very  large 
blooms  are  deep  pink  to  soft  carmine,  with 
delicate  veining  of  dark  red  on  the  broad  petals. 
Under  proper  care  it  is  a strong  grower. 

ANNA  DE  DIESBACH.  (Lacharme,  1859.) 
Bright  carmine-red,  in  large,  full,  and  fragrant 
flowers  of  the  most  attractive  character.  A 
vigorous  grower  and  excellent  bloomer. 


BARON  DE  BONSTETTEN.  (Liabaud,  1871.) 
Dark  velvety  crimson  flowers,  large  and  of  fine 
full  form,  as  well  as  deliciously  fragrant. 

BARONESS  ROTHSCHILD.  (Pernet,  1867.) 
Dainty  pale  pink  is  the  color  of  this  superb  Rose, 
large  in  size  and  symmetrical  in  form,  as  well 
as  fragrant.  As  each  Rose  is  set  in  its  own  cup 
of  beautiful  foliage,  it  has  attained  prominence 
as  the  acme  of  perfection  in  its  class. 

CAPTAIN  CHRISTY.  (Lacharme,  1873.) 
Plump  and  heavy  buds  with  backward-curling 
petals,  including  both  light  and  dark  pink  colors, 
the  massive  open  bloom  showing  darker  toward 
the  center.  This  variety  is  a sturdy  and  rather 
dwarf  grower. 

CAPTAIN  HAYWARD.  (Bennett,  1893.) 
Brilliant  carmine  in  its  large  and  highly  perfumed 
flowers,  which  are  freely  produced.

George  Arends  Rose 


CLIO.  (Wm.  Paul  & Son,  1894.)  Soft  satiny 
flesh-color,  with  pink  center,  in  large  and  globular 
flowers  borne  on  long  stems,  and  showing  a 
lovely  cup-shaped  form  in  its  rosette  of  foliage. 

COMMANDEUR  JULES  GRAVEREAUX. 

(Croibier  & Son,  1908.)  The  long-pointed 
buds  and  large,  full  flowers  are  of  uniform 
velvety  red,  shaded  maroon. 

EARL  OF  DUFFERIN.  (A.  Dickson  & Sons, 
1887.)  Large,  globular  and  sweet-scented  blooms 
of  clear  velvety  crimson.  Plant  of  good  flowering 
habit.

buds  which  open  into  a huge  flower  of  excellent 
shape  and  great  beauty. 

FRAU  KARL  DRUSCHKI.  (P.  Lambert, 
1900.)  A recent  referendum  among  the  members 
of  the  American  Rose  Society  brought  out  the 
information  that  this  is  the  most  popular  Rose 
in  America.  Its  pure,  snow-white,  unshaded 
blooms  are  of  immense  size,  sometimes  reaching 
almost  to  6 inches  in  diameter,  and  they  are  of 


lasting  quality,  on  fine  stems,  though  without 
fragrance.  The  plant  grows  very  strongly  and 
vigorously,  and  in  addition  to  its  abundant 
bloom  in  June,  will,  if  kept  growing,  produce 
many  flowers  throughout  the  summer  and  in 
the  autumn.  No  substitute  for  “Druschki” 
has  yet  appeared. 

GENERAL  JACQUEMINOT.  (Roussel,  1852.) 
Long  a favorite  as  the  “Jack”  Rose,  its  brilliant 
scarlet-crimson  flowers,  large,  full,  globular,  and 
sweet,  are  yet  in  the  top  rank  of  quality. 

GEORGE  ARENDS.  (Hinner,  1910.)  Well- 
shaped, delicate  pink  buds  of  pure,  even  color, 
opening  into  large  and  very  beautiful  flowers, 
abundantly  produced  on  a strong-growing  plant. 
Sometimes  called  “Pink  Druschki,”  and  un- 
doubtedly at  the  very  top  in  its  color. 

GEORGE  DICKSON.  (A.  Dickson  & Sons, 
1912.)  Large,  full  and  fragrant  blooms  of  deep 
velvety  crimson  which  does  not  turn  blue. 

GLOIRE  DE  CHEDANE-GUINOISSEAU. 

(Chedane  & Pajotin,  1907.)  Large,  full,  globular 
flowers  of  vermilion-red,  shaded  deeper  red,  on 
vigorous  plants. 

GLOIRE  LYONNAISE.  (P.  Guillot,  1884.) 
White,  tinted  yellow,  deeper  in  center,  with  good 
fragrance  in  a large  and  lovely  flower. 

GRUSS  AN  SCHLESIEN.  (H.  Kiese  & Co. 
1921.)  Very  large,  red  flower.  Vigorous  grower. 

HEINRICH  MUNCH.  (Munch  & Haufe, 
1911.)  Literally  immense  are  the  soft  pink 
blooms  of  this  great  Rose,  much  resembling 
Frau  Karl  Druschki,  and  borne  on  plants  of  great 
vigor,  frequently  blooming  again  in  fall. 

HER  MAJESTY.  (Bennett,  1885.)  Clear 
satiny  rose;  very  large  and  shapely  blooms. 

HUGH  DICKSON.  (H.  Dickson,  1904.) 
Intense  crimson,  shaded  scarlet,  are  the  large 
and  full  flowers  of  this  sweetly  perfumed  Rose, 
which  has  deserved  a gold  medal  in  England. 

J.  B.  CLARK.  (H.  Dickson,  1905.)  Intense 
deep  scarlet,  shaded  blackish  maroon,  in  exceed- 
ingly large  and  full  blooms  of  moderate  fra- 
grance. Plant  a rampant  grower,  blooming  best  in 
June,  but  sometimes  repeating  in  the  fall.  Has 
been  improperly  classed  with  the  Hybrid  Teas. 

JOHN  HOPPER.  (Ward,  1862.)  Large 
shapely  blooms,  sweetly  scented  and  of  rosy  red, 
changing  to  purple-carmine. 

JUBILEE.  (Walsh,  1897.)  Deep,  rich  maroon 
is  this,  which  seems  to  be  the  darkest  pure,  one- 
colored  Rose  yet  produced. 

JULES  MARGOTTIN.  (Margottin,  1853.) 
Bright  carmine;  large,  full,  and  fragrant.

grant flowers.  The  strong-growing  plant  is  a free 
bloomer  and  the  variety  is  deservedly  popular.

ULRICH  BRUNNER.  (Levet,  1881.)  Large 
flowers  of  light,  clear  red,  tending  toward  scarlet 
and  showing  a shade  peculiarly  its  own.  The 
abundantly  produced  flowers  are  set  on  long 
stems,  carried  by  a plant  of  vigorous  growth.  A 
standard  of  excellence. 


LUDWIG  MOLLER.  (H.  Kiese  & Co.,  1914.) 
Deep  yellow  blooms  of  good  form,  changing  to 
pure  white.  Very  vigorous  grower  with  healthy 
foliage.  Also  called  “Yellow  Frau  Karl  Druschki.”

Light  silvery  pink  blooms  of  fine  substance  and 
attractive  form  on  good  plants.  One  of  the 
best  sorts. 


Magna  Charta  Rose 

rosy  pink,  the  outer  petals  being  delicately 
flushed  with  pale  flesh.  Plant  strong  and  vigorous. 


PAUL  NEYRON.  (Levet,  1869.)  Presumably 
the  largest  Rose  in  commerce,  individual  flowers 
reaching  6 inches  in  diameter  and  standing  well 
up  on  strong  plants.  The  exceedingly  fragrant 
flowers  are  clear  pink,  shaded  soft  rose,  and  the 
habit  of  the  plant  is  excellent. 

PRINCE  CAMILLE  DE  ROHAN.  (E.  Verdier, 
1861.)  Dark  maroon  or  blood-red  blooms  of 
unique  color  effect,  on  plants  of  but  moderate

POLYANTHA  ROSES 


THESE  interesting  and  very  valuable  dwarf  Roses  are  really  forms  of  Rosa  multiflora , 
but  are  classed  commercially,  rather  than  botanically,  as  here  designated.  Their 
low-growing  habit,  seldom  exceeding  15  to  18  inches  in  height,  their  interesting  and 
continual  freedom  of  bloom,  and  the  real  beauty  of  the  flowers,  borne  in  the  characteristic 
clusters  of  the  Multiflora  type,  commend  them  as  indispensable  in  any  Rose-garden.  Not 
only  do  they  bloom  continually,  but  they  are  easy  to  handle,  of  equal  hardiness  with  the 
Hybrid  Teas,  and  altogether  desirable  either  for  edging  or  for  massing.  Most  of  these 
plants  are  budded,  but  on  some  varieties  the  wood  is  too  small  or  thin  and  they  have  to  be 
grafted. 

The  newer  varieties  show  improved  colors  and  forms,  and  we  cannot  too  heartily  com- 
mend this  extremely  desirable  class  of  garden  Roses. 

All  the  Polyantha  Roses  are  $1  each,  $9  for  10,  except  where  noted,  for  strong  field-grown  plants.  Those 

priced  at  75  cts.  each  are  $6.50  for  10 


AlNNCHEN  MULLER.  (J.  C.  Schmidt,  1907.) 
This  Rose  carries  eight  to  ten  names,  varying  in 
spelling  but  meaning  always  the  English  equiva- 
lent of  the  name  Anny  Muller.  It  bears  large 
clusters  of  medium-double  deep  rose  flowers  from 
June  until  late  autumn.  75  cts.  each. 

ANDREE  LENOBLE.  (E.  Turbat  & Co., 
1916.)  Pure  bright  rose  or  clear  red  which  does 
not  fade;  enormous  clusters  of  50  to  100  large 
flowers;  a good  grower,  and  a sort  that  should 
replace  others  of  less  merit. 


CECILE  BRUNNER.  (Mme._  Ducher,  1881.) 
Bright  rose  flowers,  with  yellowish  center,  borne 
in  clusters  and  fragrant,  differing  considerably 
in  form  from  the  average  of  the  class,  and  a fine 
garden  variety.  75  cts.  each. 

CLOTILDE  SOUPERT.  (Soupert  & Netting, 
1890.)  Flowers  with  pearly  white  petals  tending 
to  rosy  pink,  closely  resembling  the  Hybrid  Tea 
Roses  in  form.  The  plant  is  vigorous  and  extremely 
hardy.  In  some  localities  the  buds  do  not  open 
always  perfectly,  but  a notable  variety.  75c,  each.

able, but  always  attractive,  and  the  buds  are 
par  excellence  for  buttonholes.  The  plant  grows 
vigorously  and  blooms  freely  in  spring  and  fall. 
Sometimes  called  Baby  Doll  or  Lambert.

TREE  ROSES 


STANDARD  OR  TREE  ROSES 

THE  Standard  or  Tree  Rose  plant  differs  from  the  ordinary  bush  Hybrid  Tea  in  that 
it  has  an  upright  stem  several  feet  in  height,  and  usually  of  a peculiar  form  of  Rugosa 
root,  at  the  top  of  which  has  been  worked  or  budded  and  trained  in  one  of  the  Hybrid 
Tea,  Tea,  Polyantha,  or  Climbing  Roses.  These  Tree  Roses  thus  provide  flowers  in  a form 
somewhat  suggesting  that  of  an  umbrella  maintained  above  a single  stem,  and  they  are 
exceedingly  effective  when  properly  used  in  gardens  to  mark  out  walks  or  aisles  or  grown 
among  or  in  front  of  the  bush  Roses.  They  have  stems  from  to  4 feet  high,  with  2-year 
tops. 

All  Standard  or  Tree  Roses  are  $2.50  each,  except  where  otherwise  noted 


SUGGESTIONS  FOR  PLANTING  AND  CARE  OF  STANDARD  OR  TREE  ROSES 

Upon  their  receipt,  submerge  the  whole  plant,  if  possible,  in  water  for  a few  hours.  Do 
not  permit  the  roots  to  be  exposed  to  sun  or  wind. 

The  soil  in  which  they  are  to  be  planted  should  be  prepared  as  for  Hybrid  Teas,  in- 
cluding digging  at  least  18  inches  deep  and  the  thorough  admixture  of  much  well-rotted 
manure,  together  with  a little  air-slaked  lime  to  sweeten  the  soil. 

Plant  carefully,  as  recommended  on  page  0 for  Hybrid  Teas.  Be  sure  to  plant  deep 
enough,  so  that  there  are  at  least  4 inches  of  the  stem  below  the  surface  of  the  soil. 

A strong  stake  should  be  placed  on  the  south  side  of  the  Rose  and  the  plant  carefully 
tied  to  it  in  such  fashion  as  to  prevent  chafing. 

In  the  spring  the  branches  of  Standard  or  Tree  Roses  should  be  cut  back  to  within 
4 inches  of  the  main  stem. 

Winter  protection  is  best  accomplished  by  wrapping  the  stem  and  head  with  several 
thicknesses  of  heavy  paper,  afterward  carefully  loosening  the  plant  from  the  soil  and  laying 
it  down  in  a trench  in  which  it  can  be  covered  with  6 inches  or  more  of  soil  and  some  loose 
litter.  If  it  is  found  impossible  to  thus  lay  down  the  plant,  an  additional  wrapping  of  straw 
can  be  provided,  at  the  same  time  arranging  additional  support  so  that  the  plant  cannot 
be  torn  loose  by  the  winter  winds.

Effective  Use  of  Climbing  Roses 

HARDY  CLIMBING  ROSES 

A RECENT  prominent  writer  on  Roses  has  bewailed  the  prevalence  of  only  two 
or  three  of  the  more  ordinary  Climbers  throughout  the  United  States,  and  the 
■ absence  in  gardens  and  parks  of  the  many  varied  and  beautiful  hardy  Climbing 
Roses  now  available. 

Our  collection  includes  unquestionably  the  largest  number  of  good  sorts  of  hardy 
Climbing  Roses  ever  brought  together  on  this  continent,  and  we  believe  so  thoroughly  in 
these  Roses  that  we  continually  urge  their  planting,  not  only  as  climbers,  but  as  pillars, 
as  trained  shrubs  on  the  lawn,  and  for  the  many  varied  uses  for  which  their  rapid  and 
flexible  growth,  the  good  foliage  most  of  them  have,  and  their  superb  burst  of  spring 
bloom,  particularly  fit  them. 

For  the  most  part,  the  Wichuraiana  and  Multiflora  Climbing  Roses  here  described  are 
hardy  through  the  major  part  of  the  Rose-growing  section  of  the  United  States,  though 
in  extremely  exposed  positions,  such  as  in  the  neighborhood  of  Chicago,  it  may  be  necessary 
to  protect  them,  as  all  Roses  are  there  protected  by  special  means.  Usually,  Climbing 
Roses  are  there  laid  down  and  covered  with  earth,  sometimes  burlap  and  boards  being 
added  for  greater  security. 

It  should  be  noted  that  Hardy  Climbers  resemble  the  Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses  in  that 
they  bloom  during  the  current  year  on  shoots  which  arise  from  canes  of  the  previous  year, 
in  this  differing  entirely  from  the  Tea  and  Hybrid  Tea  Roses.  Pruning,  therefore,  must 
have  reference  to  the  desired  number  of  flowers,  for  if  all  of  the  old  wood  is  cut  off  in  spring, 
there  will  be  abundant  growth  but  no  flowers  for  one  year.  The  proper  pruning  method 
for  these  Hardy  Climbers  is  to  cut  out  all  the  old  canes  immediately  after  flowering,  thus 
insuring  the  growth  during  that  season  of  strong  shoots  from  the  base  of  the  plant  that  will 
furnish  the  blooming  wood  for  the  next  season.  These  new  canes  ought  to  be  trained  as 
may  be  desired,  and  may  be  pinched  at  the  ends  whenever  they  have  grown  far  enough. 

The  letters  “HW”  following  any  name  indicate  that  the  Rose  in  question  is  a hybrid 
between  some  everblooming  Rose  and  Rosa  Wichuraiana,  a natural  or  wild  Rose  found 
in  Japan,  and  in  its  native  form  of  trailing  habit  with  glossy  foliage  and  single  white  flowers. 
These  hybrids  tend  to  continue  the  fine  and  glossy  foliage  of  the  type,  but  are  of  upright 
habit  and  have  large  flowers,  often  as  large  as  those  of  a Hybrid  Tea  Rose.

HARDY  CLIMBING  ROSES 


The  letters  “HM”  following  any  name  indicate  the  crossing  of  some  everblooming 
Rose  with  Rosa  multiflora , a native  of  China  and  Japan,  distinguished  by  great  vigor  and  its 
habit  of  cluster-flowering.  The  available  natural  form  grows  to  a height  of  6 to  10  feet  and 
is  completely  covered  in  June  with  a mass  of  small  white  flowers  in  immense  clusters. 
The  hybrids  are  of  great  vigor,  of  upright  habit,  and  generally  carry  their  fine  blooms  in 
great  clusters. 

Other  forms  of  climbing  Roses,  not  so  hardy  as  these,  are  in  following  lists: 

All  these  Hardy  Climbing  Roses  are  $1  each,  $9  for  10,  except  where  noted,  for  strong  field-grown  plants. 
(Those  priced  at  75  cts.  each  are  $6.50  for  10.) 


ADELAIDE  MOULLE.  HW.  (Barbier  & Co., 
1902.)  Moderately  large  blooms  of  a peculiar 
combination  of  rose  and  pale  yellow,  slightly 
fragrant,  double,  and  profusely  borne  in  graceful 
clusters  on  plants  of  great  vigor. 

ALBERIC  BARBIER.  HW.  (Barbier  & Co., 
1900.)  Long,  slender,  pointed  sulphur-yellow 
buds  of  great  beauty,  opening  to  creamy  white 
and  handsome  blooms.  The  plant  is  of  rapid  but 
slender  growth,  with  notable  glossy  dark  green 
foliage.  It  is  somewhat  tender,  but  when  injured

1902.)  Very  large,  handsome  flowers  of  light, 
bright  crimson,  with  a clear  white  eye  surround-

a Macrophylla  hybrid,  providing  a plant  of 
vigorous  growth  with  large  leaves.  The  flower  is 
clear  flesh-pink,  large,  semi-double,  with  un- 
dulated petals. 

AUNT  HARRIET.  HW.  (Van  Fleet,  1918.)

wide reputation.  Produces  many  large  and 
fragrant  flowers  of  clear,  bright  crimson,  double, 
full,  cupped,  and  of  notable  lasting  quality. 
Though  in  general  resembling  the  famed  Climbing 
American  Beauty,  it  is  much  superior  to  that 
variety  by  reason  of  its  brighter  color  and  its 
habit  of  not  holding  its  dead  blooms.  75  cts.  each. 

BIRDIE  BLYE.  HM.  (Van  Fleet,  1904.) 
Bright  satiny  rose,  with  fragrant  blossoms,  quite

(Hoopes,  Bro.  & Thomas  Co.,  1909.)  This  is  a 
sister  of  Christine  Wright,  and  its  moderately 
fragrant  flowers  are  of  rich  carmine  color,  pro- 
duced in  almost  unbelievable  abundance  early 
in  the  season  on  strong  and  vigorous  plants. 
Has  had  wide  and  deserved  acceptance,  its  only 
bad  habit  being  its  way  of  holding  faded  flowers. 
75  cts.  each.

than  any  other  hardy  climbing  Rose.

DR.  W.  VAN  FLEET.  HW.  (Van  Fleet,  1910.) 

If  but  one  Climbing  Rose  had  to  be  considered, 
it  should  be  this  one,  which  combines  beauty, 
vigor  and  adaptability  to  a remarkable  degree. 
Its  perfectly  formed  buds,  equal  to  the  best  of 
the  Hybrid  Teas,  are  long  and  pointed,  deep, 
clear  pink  in  color,  and  produced  on  individual 
long  stems.  As  the  Roses  open,  the  color  changes 
to  a lighter  form  of  pink  and  retains  its  beauty

Paul’s  Scarlet  Climber. 
See  page  50 


DOROTHY  PERKINS.  HW.  (Jackson  & 
Perkins,  1902.)  Scarcely  requiring  description 
because  of  its  wide  acceptance  and  notable 
merit.  The  medium -sized,  very  double  blooms 
have  peculiarly  curved  and  curled  petals  of  soft 
blush-pink,  produced  in  abundance  in  large 
clusters  on  strong,  vigorous,  and  hardy  plants. 
75  cts.  each. 


DR.  HENRI  NEUPREZ.  HW.  (Tanne,  1913.) 
Canary -yellow,  passing  to  dull  white;  vigorous 
grower;  fine  green  foliage. 

DR,  HUEY.  HW.  (Thomas,  1914.)  Totally 
different  from  any  other  Rose  in  existence.  Its 
semi-double  flowers  are  dark  crimson-maroon 
or  deepest  scarlet,  and  showing  a small  cluster 
of  light  yellow  stamens.  The  flowers  are  large 
and  usually  borne  in  clusters,  with  a blooming 
habit  which  means  that  the  plant,  if  properly 
trained  as  a pillar,  is  an  object  of  the  utmost 
distinction  for  nearly  three  weeks.  No  other 
Rose  approximates  this  American  hardy  climber 
in  brilliant  effectiveness.  Never  fades  “blue.” 
75  cts.  each. 


DR.  REYMOND.  HM.  (Mermet,  1908.)  Pure

LAmerica n - Grown  Rqsqs — Bobbink  Atkins 


The  open  flowers  approximate  4 inches  in  diam- 
eter. The  plant  is  beautiful  when  out  of  bloom, 
by  reason  of  its  large  and  glossy  foliage  of 
decorative  quality.  75  cts.  each. 

ELECTRA.  HM.  (Veitch,  1900.)  Cream- 
yellow,  semi-double  flowers  of  medium  size.

with  sulphur-yellow. 

EMILY  GRAY.  HW.  (Williams,  1918.)  A 
very  remarkable  new  Climbing  Rose  which 
might  almost  be  called  a hardy  Marechal  Niel. 
Its  golden  yellow  buds  are  long,  tapering,  and 
elegant,  opening  to  semi-double  flowers  of  large 
size,  pleasant  fragrance,  and  a most  delightful 
buff  shade.  The  foliage  differs  from  that  of  any 
other  climbing  Rose  in  its  glossy  and  crinkled 
quality  and  in  the  deep  reddish  brown  hue  of  the 
young  shoots.  This  variety  was  deservedly 
awarded  a Gold  Medal  in  England,  and  bids  fair 
to  attain  great  popularity  in  America,  because  it 
is  unique  and  is  seemingly  reliably  hardy  over  the 
largest  part  of  the  Rose-growing  territory, 
though  probably  requiring  protection  in  New 
England  and  northern  New  York.  It  is  well 
worth  any  protection  it  may  require.  $1.50 
each. 

ERNST  GRANDPIERRE.  HW.  (Wcigand, 
1900.)  Small  flowers  of  beautiful  golden  yellow.

a series  of  exquisitely  beautiful  single-flowered 
climbers  originated  by  the  late  M.  H.  Walsh.

and  the  large  flowers  entirely  cover  the  plant 
late  in  June.  The  growth  is  rampantly  vigorous 
and  hardy. 

EVERGREEN  GEM.  HW.  (Manda,  1889.)  A 
dainty  sort  with  buff-yellow  buds  which  open 
to  almost  white  flowers  of  single  form.  It  pos- 
sesses a delightful  penetrating  perfume. 

EXCELSA.  HW.  (Walsh,  1908.)  Of  the  same 
general  form  and  type  as  the  familiar  Crimson 
Rambler,  but  of  far  better  color,  hardiness,  and 
habit,  and  free  from  its  tendency  to  mildew. 
The  flowers  are  of  brilliant  scarlet-crimson  and 
are  produced  in  immense  clusters  on  plants  of 
great  vigor  and  beauty.  Altogether  the  best  of  its 
type.

and  distinct.  The  blooming  habit  is  exceedingly 
free. 

FRANCOIS  JURANVILLE.  HW.  (Barbier 
& Co.,  1906.)  Bright  salmon-pink  flowers,  with 
the  base  of  the  petals  yellow,  on  an  extremely 
vigorous  plant,  with  good  foliage.  This  variety

pink;  good  keeper. 

GARDENIA.  HW.  (Manda,  1899.)  Pleasing 
yellow  buds,  turning  white  on  opening.  Has 
been,  until  the  introduction  of  Emily  Gray,  the 
nearest  dependable  yellow  of  the  climbing  Roses. 
Altogether  a beautiful  and  desirable  variety  on 
its  own  merits.  (See  illustration  on  page  49.)

excellent  growth. 

MRS.  F.  W.  FLIGHT.  HM.  (Cutbush,  1906.) 
Large,  clear  light  pink,  semi-double  flowers, 
produced  in  large  clusters  which  remain  long  in 
perfection  and  practically  cover  the  plant.  Most 
distinct  and  effective. 

MRS.  M.  H.  WALSH.  HW.  (Walsh,  1911.) 
A unique  pure  white  Rose,  producing  immense 
clusters  of  small  and  very  double  flowers  on  a 
plant  which  has  the  trailing  habit  of  its  Wichu- 
raiana  parent,  as  well  as  lovely  glossy  foliage. 
While  good  as  a climber,  it  is  of  peculiar  excel- 
lence when  used  as  a creeper  or  trailer. 


NEIGE  D’AVRIL.  HM.  (Robichon,  1908.) 
Pure  white  blooms  with  prominent  yellow 
stamens;  blooms  early,  in  pyramidal  corymbs. 
One  of  the  loveliest  of  the  white  climbers. 

NEWPORT  FAIRY.  HM.  (Gardner,  1908.) 
Single  flowers  of  pink,  with  white  center  and  of 
enduring  quality,  on  a vigorous  plant. 

NON  PLUS  ULTRA.  HM.  (Weigand,  1904.) 
Dark  crimson  flowers  that  come  earlier  than 
Crimson  Rambler  and  it  is  more  free-flowering. 

PARADISE.  HW.  (Walsh,  1907.)  Large  and 
beautifully  formed  single  flowers  of  clear  pink, 
varying  to  white,  in  graceful  clusters;  free-

1900.)  Bright  pink,  full,  large  flowers  with  Tea 
Rose  scent. 

PAUL’S  SCARLET  CLIMBER.  HW.  (Wm. 
Paul  & Son,  1916.)  By  all  means  the  most  bril- 
liant Rose  known  in  any  class,  because  of  its 
clear,  vivid,  shining  scarlet  in  large,  semi-double 
flowers  which  remain  unusually  long  and  in 
good  condition  on  the  plants.  These  flowers 
never  turn  blue,  but  retain  their  intense  coloring 
until  the  petals  fall.  The  plant  may  be  used 
either  as  an  ordinary  climber  or  to  make  aston- 
ishingly effective  pillars  which  are  a flame  of 
scarlet.  No  other  Rose  gives  the  same  effect, 
and  it  is  to  be  most  heartily  commended  as 
essential  in  any  modern  garden.  (See  color 
plate,  page  47.) 

PETIT  LOUIS.  HW.  (Nonin,  1912.)  Flowers 
silvery  salmon-pink,  large,  very  double,  tending

PROF.  C.  S.  SARGENT.  HW.  (Hoopes,  Bro.  & 
Thomas  Co.,  1903.)  Light  red  flowers  and  buds 
dark  golden  yellow — a peculiar  contrast;  fragrant. 

PURITY.  HW.  (Hoopes,  Bro.  & Thomas  Co., 
1917.)  Dazzling  snowy  white;  large,  semi-double 
flowers.  Fine  foliage.  This  splendid  variety

Unusually  large  semi-double  flowers  of  deep, 
clear,  rosy  pink,  the  purplish  tint  of  which  is 
agreeable  rather  than  disagreeable.  Of  moderate 
growth,  and  unique  in  its  color. 

RENEE  DANIELLE.  HW.  (P.  Guillot,  1914.) 
The  bud  is  solid,  conical,  and  deep  yellow,  opening 
to  large,  double  flowers,  yellow  at  center  of

Ruthoj'fojrl,  N.  J. 


ROMEO.  HW.  (Easlea,  1919.)  Beautiful

like  the  standard  Tausendschon  in  form,  thorn- 
less plant  and  habit  of  growth,  but  having  blooms 
of  an  even  shade  of  deep  pink  or  carmine  in  its 
charming  cupped  flowers.  It  is  very  desirable 
for  itself  and  in  connection  with  Tausendschon,

it  has  yet  had.

SILVER  MOON.  HW.  (Van  Fleet,  1910.) 
To  the  Rose-lover  who  has  not  enjoyed  Silver 
Moon,  a delightful  experience  is  in  store  in  con- 
templating this  extraordinarily  vigorous  climber, 
decorative  all  through  the  growing  season  by 
reason  of  its  great  canes  and  deep,  rich  foliage, 
but  literally  a wonder  at  bloom-time  for  its  long, 
well-shaped  buds  of  faint  yellow  which  open 
into  immense  pure  white  flowers,  often  reaching 
4 inches  or  more  in  diameter.  These  blooms  are 
semi-double  and  with  very  distinctly  curled  and 
curved  center  petals  which  surround  the  bright 
yellow  stamens  and  add  piquancy  to  the  whole 
effect.  An  indispensable  white  Rose.  75  cts.  each.

When  ordering,  state  if  we  may  replace  sold-out  varieties  with  others  equally  as  good.  This  will  save 

the  delay  of  correspondence

CLIMBING  HYBRID  TEA  AND  SIMILAR  ROSES 

IT  is  one  of  the  curious  mutations  of  plant-growth  that  when  large  numbers  of  individuals 
of  one  kind  are  grown  there  is  a tendency  toward  changes,  or  “sports,”  among  which 
at  times  arise  varieties  different  in  color  and  in  habit.  Through  these  sports  many 
well-known  Roses  have  assumed  a climbing  form.  These  bloom  much  more  frequently 
during  the  season  than  the  hardy  climbers,  but  not  so  freely  as  their  parents.  They  are 
not  quite  so  vigorous  in  growth  as  the  other  climbers,  and  will  need  simple  winter  pro- 
tection north  of  the  latitude  of  Washington.  It  is  usually  quite  sufficient  to  either  lay  down 
the  canes  so  they  may  be  covered  with  earth,  or  to  give  them  a wrapping  of  straw. 

These  Climbers  are  $1  each,  except  where  noted,  for  strong  field-grown  plants

LAMBERTIANA  ROSES 


CLIMBING  LAMBERTIANA  ROSES 


THIS,  we  believe,  is  the  first  separate  offering  in  America  of  a class  of  Roses  origi- 
nated by  the  well-known  rosarian,  Peter  Lambert,  who  is  striving  to  produce  an 
everblooming  hardy  climber,  through  the  breeding  into  existing  Multiflora  types 
of  other  strains  of  Rose  blood  tending  toward  recurrent  blooming.  The  well-known  Rose, 
Trier,  is  one  of  his  productions,  and  while  he  has  not  succeeded  in  producing  everblooming 
climbers,  he  has  obtained  some  varieties  which  will  flower  again  throughout  the  summer, 
though  not  in  the  abundance  of  the  first  crop. 

These  Roses,  while  of  climbing  habit  and  adaptable  to  trellises  or  other  uses  of  climbers, 
can  also  be  allowed  to  make  rather  shapely  and  symmetrical  bushes  in  the  shrubbery  or 
mixed  border.  We  commend  them  particularly  to  the  attention  of  those  who  are  interested 
in  the  advance  of  this  most  important  class  of  Roses. 

The  following  varieties  are  $1.50  each 


ARNDT.  (P.  Lambert,  1913.)  Helene  X 
Gustav  Griinerwald.  Pink,  medium-sized  flowers 
in  loose  clusters.  Very  free-flowering.

1909.)  Mme.  Norbert  Levavasseur  X Trier.

Mary  Fitzwilliam.  Blooms  small,  rather  full,  in 
large  clusters,  reddish  pink,  passing  to  clear  pink.

foliage  and  few  thorns.

AUSTRIAN  BRIER  ROSES 


A MOST  interesting  and  important  class  of  Roses,  based  on  Rosa  fcetida.  Though 
called  Austrian  Brier,  the  species  is  native  to  Asia.  It  contributes  great  value  to 
L the  garden  by  reason  of  the  definitely  substantial  yellow  color  of  the  flowers  and 
the  enduring  quality  of  the  plants,  which  bloom  very  abundantly  quite  early  in  the  spring 
Rose  season.  The  growth  is  peculiar  and  rather  leggy,  so  that  these  Roses  do  best  when 
kept  either  where  other  Roses  can  be  grown  in  front  of  them  or  in  a similar  place  in  the 
shrubbery.  They  are  resentful  of  pruning,  save  by  the  removal  of  occasional  old  canes, 
and  it  is  not  unusual  to  find  an  acquainted  Rose-grower  keeping  duplicate  plants  so  that 
when  he  prunes  one  year  he  need  not  expect  bloom  on  that  plant. 

Many  efforts  have  been  made  to  combine  the  remarkable  color  quality  of  the  Austrian 
Brier  with  other  Roses,  but  it  is  reluctant  to  mate  with  other  species.  The  Pernetiana 
Roses  show  importantly  this  yellow  tendency,  which  is  said  to  result  from  the  infusion 
of  Rosa  foetida  blood  into  the  Hybrid  Tea  strain. 


AUSTRIAN  COPPER.  (Gerard,  1596.)  Single 
flowers  of  medium  size  and  of  an  extraordinarily 
bright  coppery  red,  the  reverse  of  the  petals 
being  golden  yellow.  No  other  Rose  provides 
such  a notably  brilliant  color.  $1  each. 

HARISON’S  YELLOW.  (Harison,  1830.) 
Apparently  a hybrid  made  by  a clergyman  of 
New  York  City,  in  1830,  between  the  Austrian 
Brier  and  Rosa  spinosissima.  This  variety  is 
of  the  utmost  value,  providing  semi-double, 
bright  golden  yellow  flowers  which  cover  the 


whole  of  the  plant  in  spring  and  are  delightfully 
fragrant.  $1  each. 

PERSIAN  YELLOW.  (Willock,  1837.)  A 

double-flowered  form,  producing  in  the  spring 
the  utmost  profusion  of  blooms,  which  are  a 
darker  yellow  than  Harison’s  Yellow;  pleasantly 
fragrant.  $1  each. 

SONNENLICHT.  (Krhger,  1913.)  Canary- 
yellow,  semi-double,  sweet  scented  blooms.  Vigor- 
ous grower.  A variety  of  great  beauty.  $1  each.

RUGOSA  ROSES  AND  THEIR 
HYBRIDS 


THE  advent  into  America  of  Rosa  rugosa  from  northern  China,  Korea,  and  Japan,  has 
given  a notable  facility  to  American  Rose-growing.  They  were  first  introduced  by 
Thunberg  in  1784.  Not  only  are  the  species  themselves,  with  their  wrinkled  leaves 
(rugose  is  the  scientific  term  for  “wrinkled”),  hardy,  attractive  in  form  and  lovely  in 
bloom,  but  their  hybrids  are  fine. 

The  Rugosa  species  are  useful  as  single  plants  on  the  lawn,  retaining  their  vigorous 
and  bushy  habit  with  perfect  foliage  throughout  the  season,  and  they  form  superb  hedges 
which,  when  they  grow  too  tall,  may  be  ruthlessly  cut  off,  renewing  wholly  in  one  or  two 
seasons  from  the  root.  The  plants  may  reach  5 to  8 feet  in  height,  and  certain  of  the  hybrids 
are  of  even  greater  vigor.  All  the  Rugosa  Roses  bloom  abundantly  in  the  spring  and  tend 
constantly  to  recur  in  bloom  during  the  season,  providing,  indeed,  the  only  reliable  hardy 
constant-blooming  Roses  available  all  over  America. 

All  the  Rugosa  Roses  are  75  cts.  each,  $6.50  for  10,  except  where  noted,  for  strong  field-grown  plants 


ARNOLD.  (Dawson,  1893.)  This  variety  has 
the  growth,  foliage  and  single  bloom  of  the 
Rugosa,  but  the  rich,  glowing  scarlet  of  General 
Jacqueminot.  It  blooms  in  mid-June,  for  several 
weeks  and  then  intermittently  all  summer. 

ATROPURPUREA.  (Paul  & Son,  1900.) 
Light  crimson  and  chestnut-brown. 

BELLE  POITEVINE.  (Bruant,  1895.)  Large, 
double  flowers  of  clear  magenta-pink,  borne  in 
trusses;  plant  vigorous  and  free-flowering. 

BLANC  DOUBLE  DE  COUBERT.  (Cochet- 
Cochet,  1892.)  Probably  the  best  white  Rugosa 
hybrid,  freely  producing  semi-double  fragrant, 
pure  white  flowers  4 inches  or  more  in  diameter. 

CONRAD  FERDINAND  MEYER.  (Muller, 
1900.)  A rampant  grower,  producing,  under 
favorable  conditions,  in  a single  season,  canes 
fully  12  feet  in  height  which  can  be  most  ef- 
fectively tied  down  on  each  other,  forming  a 
natural  arch.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  double, 
and  fragrant,  and  are  of  clear,  bright  silvery  rose 
of  the  most  attractive  character. 


F.  J.  GROOTENDORST.  (De  Goey,  1918.) 
Evidently  the  beginning  of  a new  and  particu- 
larly admirable  race  of  Rugosa  hybrids,  this 
variety  has  been  aptly  described  as  “a  Rugosa 
rose  with  the  flowers  of  a red  carnation.”  These 
flowers  are  in  clusters  and  are  persistently  pro- 
duced from  early  spring  until  frost,  no  other 
Rose  of  any  other  class  excelling  it  in  continuous 
bloom.  The  habit  is  bushy  and  vigorous.  A 
remarkable  and  dependable  sort  for  single  speci- 
mens or  hedges.  $1  each,  $9  for  10. 

HANSA.  (Schaum,  1905.)  Large,  double, 
reddish  violet  flowers.  The  plants  are  rampant 
growers  and  prolific  bloomers. 

HILDENBRANDSECK.  (P.  Lambert,  1909.) 
Light  carmine;  medium  size;  semi-double.  Strong 
grower.  Blooms  from  June  until  frost. 

MAX  GRAF.  (Bowditch,  1919.)  See  Hardy 
Climbing  Roses  on  page  50. 

MME.  CHARLES  FREDERICK  WORTH. 

(Mme.  Schwartz,  1889.)  Rosy  carmine;  semi- 
double; large  clusters.  Vigorous,

Van  Fleet  hybrid,  producing  very  full  and  double 
flowers  of  good  size,  clear  flesh-pink  with  light  red 
center,  petals  sometimes  bordered  creamy  white. 

NOVA  ZEMBLA.  (Mees,  1907.)  Desirable  to 
plant  with  Conrad  Ferdinand  Meyer  because  it  is 
of  similarly  rampant  growth.  Its  large,  double, 
and  sweet  flowers  are  nearly  white  in  color. 

RUGOSA.  Pink  and  red  seedlings. 

RUGOSA  ALBA.  This  is  the  white  form  of 
the  native  Japanese  species.  Its  blooms  often 
measure  3 inches  across,  are  produced  singly 
or  in  clusters,  and  are  followed  by  brilliant  red 
fruits  or  heps  which  continue  the  decorative 
effect  of  the  whole  plant.  Admirably  adapted 
for  hedge  use. 

RUGOSA  ALBA  PLENA.  Double  white  form 
of  the  above  variety. 


RUGOSA  REPENS  ALBA.  Produces  im- 
mense single  white  flowers  in  profusion  on  long 
stems  which  prefer  to  trail,  though  they  can 
easily  be  trained  up  for  15  feet  or  more. 

RUGOSA  RUBROPLENA.  Dark  double  red 

form  of  Rugosa. 

ROSE  A PARFUM  DE  L’HAY.  (Gravereaux, 
1903.)  Large,  full,  fragrant  flowers,  cherry-red 
in  color,  on  a plant  of  strong  growth.

long  stems  in  great  profusion  in  early  summer. 
It  is  a vigorous  grower  with  beautiful  foliage. 

SCHNEEZWERG.  (P.  Lambert,  1912.)  Snow- 
white  flowers  of  medium  size,  which  are  semi- 
double and  center  filled  with  yellow  stamens.

foliage  is  glossy  and  healthy.  Very  free-flowering 
with  an  abundance  of  small  red  seeds  in  the  fall. 


HYBRID  SWEETBRIERS 


THE  familiar  Sweetbrier,  or  Eglantine,  fragrant  in  its  leaves  and  stems  as  well  as  its 
flowers,  is  a native  Rose  of  England — Rosa  rubiginosa.  Some  years  ago,  Lord 
Penzance,  an  English  rosarian,  made  a number  of  hybrids  with  this  English  Sweet- 
brier  and  sent  out  a set  of  notably  fine  varieties. 

Most  of  these  Sweetbriers  are  of  rampant  and  vigorous  growth,  requiring  abundant 

room.  They  have  single  or  semi-double 
flowers  which  appear  only  at  the  time  of 
spring  bloom,  but  their  foliage  is  excellent 
during  the  whole  growing  season,  and  these 
subjects  are  particularly  useful  for  parks, 
along  driveways  and  in  shrubbery  borders, 
where  each  plant  can  be  allowed  a wide 
spread  for  its  growth  and  beauty.  They 
are  all  completely  hardy. 

All  the  Hybrid  Sweetbriers  are  $1  each  for  strong 
field-grown  plants 


Lady  Penzance  Rose.  See  page  57 


AMY  ROBSART.  (Penzance,  1894.)  Pos- 
sesses all  the  fragrance  that  marks  the  Sweet- 
brier.  The  blooms  are  medium  in  size,  distinct

crimson;  delightfully  fragrant;  graceful  branch- 
ing habit.

MOSS  ROSES 


(Rosa  centifolia  muscosa ) 


THESE  hardy  old  favorites  of  the  gardens  of  our  grandmothers  are  in  the  same  class 
as  the  little-known  Cabbage  Rose,  which  was  based  on  the  Caucasian  species,  Rosa 
centifolia . The  flower  is  surrounded  by  a mossy  excrescence  which  gives  it  distinc- 
tion and  beauty,  and  the  blooms  are  exceedingly  fragrant,  when  produced  in  June. 


All  Moss  Roses  are  75  cts.  each,  $6.50  for  10  for  strong  field-grown  plants

PROVENCE  OR  CABBAGE  ROSES  (Rosa  centifolia ) 

mi  il"'""'  ~ >~r 

Probably  these  old,  old  Roses  include  the  sorts  that  existed  when  the  Rose  was  called 
the  “Queen  of  Flowers”  first  in  Athens  2,600  years  ago.  They  are  ruggedly  hardy  and 
very  fragrant,  and  a group  of  them  in  a corner  of  the  Rose-garden  or  along  a driveway 
will  be  likely  to  give  much  pleasure. 

All  Provence  or  Cabbage  Roses  are  $1  each

very  sweet-scented. 

KONIGIN  VON  DANEMARK.  (Booth  Bros.,

American-Grown  Roses — Bobbink  & A thins 


MISCELLANEOUS  VALUABLE  ROSES 

GROUPED  under  this  heading  are  some  old  and  new  Roses  of  much  greater  importance 
and  interest  to  the  real  Rose-lover  than  many  of  the  more  conventional  forms. 
The  Provence  or  Cabbage  Roses  and  the  China  or  Bengal  Roses  are  members  of 
classes  which  were  dominant  in  Rose-growing  prior  to  the  introduction  of  the  Hybrid 
Teas  and  many  of  the  Hybrid  Perpetuals.  They  are  particularly  commended  to  those 
who  desire  to  become  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  Rose  family. 


DAMASK,  MUSK,  AND  GALLICA  OR  FRENCH  ROSES 

Here  are  the  old  Roses  that  came  into  England  from  Asia  and  Asia  Minor  in  the 
sixteenth  century,  eventually  becoming  the  parents  of  the  Hybrid  Perpetual  class.  Some 
more  modern  sorts  have  been  bred  into  this  group.  We  are  glad  to  give  Rose-lovers  op- 
portunity to  become  acquainted  with  these  sources  of  modern  Roses.

THE  WILD  ROSES,  OR  ROSE  SPECIES 

The  Rose  is  a world-wide  plant,  more  than  sixty  species  being  recognized  as  native  in 
the  United  States.  It  is,  however,  the  Old  World  species  that  have  given  rise  to  our  garden 
treasures  in  Teas,  Hybrid  Teas,  Hybrid  Perpetuals,  and  other  Roses.  Nevertheless,  the 
species  themselves — meaning  those  that  reproduce  themselves  from  seed — are  most  effective 
and  important  in  any  broad  garden  treatment,  as  well  as  of  great  interest  for  their  beauty. 
Some  of  the  species  are  of  especial  hardiness,  and  all  here  described  are  notably  vigorous. 
They  are  admirable  for  use  in  the  shrubbery  border,  or  to  frame  in  a Rose-garden,  or  for 
parks  or  driveways. 

The  Wild  and  Species  Roses  need  little  pruning,  but  they  should  be  thinned  out  and  the 
old  wood  removed.  Long  and  vigorous  shoots  should  not  be  shortened,  especially  in  climb- 
ing varieties,  as  these  shoots  are  the  most  floriferous. 

All  the  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  hundred  or  thousand  will  be  given  on  request

bright  yellow  which  does  not  fade  to  white.

golden  yellow  flowers,  with  open  center,  are 
larger  than  those  of  R.  Ecae.  It  blooms  rather 
sparingly,  and  the  habit  of  growth  is  more  or 
less  crawling.

PEMBERTON’S  ROSES 

This  class  of  Roses  was  originated  by  the  Rev.  Joseph  H.  Pemberton,  of  England.  We 
have  grouped  these  together  for  their  more  or  less  similar  habit  of  growth.  They  are  mainly 
used  as  a shrub  Rose  or  as  specimen  plants  on  the  lawn,  being  bushy  and  growing  on  an 
average  of  from  4 to  7 feet  high.  The  Hybrid  Musks  are  much  desired  for  their  peculiar 
sweet  musk  fragrance.  Most  of  the  varieties  are  everblooming,  as  described,  and  most  of 
them  are  of  the  cluster  type. 

These  Roses  are  $1  each  for  strong  field-grown  plants

CLIMBING  ROSES  FOR  COLOR  AND  SEASON 

For  convenience  of  our  friends  who  desire  to  make  collections  of  Climbing  Roses,  there  follow  the 
names  of  those  in  our  assortment  under  color.  After  each  name  will  be  found  a letter,  “E”  signifying 
early,  “M”  medium,  and  “L”  late. 

It  is  possible,  by  proper  location  and  selection,  to  have  Climbing  Roses  blooming  over  a period 
of  six  weeks  from  the  first  flowers  to  the  last  flowers.
