Garden Notes - Common Moss to Eugenie Lamesch

Common Moss
(Moss)

This rose originally came from Holland, and was introduced into this country about 1596. It is extremely free blooming, and the exquisite buds, which are well mossed and delightfully fragrant, command many admirers. Suitable for planting in shrubberies or borders, and very hardy.

Conrad F. Meyer
(Japanese)

A very striking Japanese rose with large flowers. The plant is free-flowering and vigorous, making a bush from 3 ft. to 5 ft. high. One of the earliest to bloom, it makes a beautiful bush when grown in shrubberies and borders. It is quite hardy, and should be sparingly pruned.

Dean Hole
(Hybrid Tea)

The flowers are very large, of great substance, and perfect shape, produced freely and continuously throughout the summer and autumn. Vigorous in habit of growth, and quite hardy, it was awarded the fold medal of the National Rose Society in 1904, and also the Nickerson Cup as the best rose in the Hybrid Tea section introduced since 1900.

Edu Meyer
(Hybrid Tea)

A charming garden or decorative rose suitable for bedding. Being quite hardy, it may be planted in almost any situation, and requires very little pruning other than the removal of dead wood. Buds are long and pointed, and in their various shades of coppery yellow, red, and orange, are distinct and beautiful. Introduced in 1904.

Eugenie Lamesch
(Polyantha)

Introduced in 1899, it is still one of the best of the Polyantha roses, producing clusters of ranunculus shaped flowers. It is a free grower, and quite hardy, making compact bushes from 1 ft. to 2 ft. high. Used largely for bedding and borders, and most useful as a decorative rose. When grown as a standard or half-standard it makes a very pretty head.
