From the 1898 catalog, these roses remain unidentified, requiring further research.
Eglantine Tea. Beautiful new white seedling rose.
Louise de la Reve. Tea. Blush shaded pink.
Premium de Charrissiens. Tea. Carmine-rose, perfectly exquisite.
Sweet Simplicity. Tea. Lovely pink, single rose.
LITTLE MIDGET OR BABY RAMBLER ROSE
This dainty rose, which I offer for the first time, is a most charming addition to the Rambler roses. The individual flowers are single, about an inch across, and grow in large cluster, forming perfect wreaths of flowers from the ground to the ends of the long branches; the flowers are a lovely blush-pink and are exquisitely fragrant, filling the air for quite a distance with their delightful perfume; they are followed by innumerable little berries that turn a brilliant red, making the branches as attractive when in seed as when in flower; the plant can be trained as a climber or grown singly as a specimen; the branches are beautifully arching from the center outwards. The leaves are medium sized, somewhat resembling the Yellow Rambler in color and style. Small plants 25 cts., larger 50 cts.
