CLIMBERS 



scattered that they cannot be called continually 

 blooming roses. They need special protection here, 

 but should do better farther south. In addition to 

 these are included some other roses which have the 

 Hybrid Tea form of bloom; unfortunately they bloom 

 only in the spring and have practically no bloom 

 thereafter, but are given for their great beauty. 



Ards Rover. Hybrid Perpetual Climber; Alex. 

 Dickson and Sons, 1898. Color is crimson shaded 

 maroon; medium size, good form; blooms in the 

 spring only; flowers come on short stems; has a fair 

 petallage and is very fragrant. A hardy rose 

 but in the North the canes should be given winter 

 protection. 



Christine Wright. Hoopes Bros, and Thomas, 

 of West Chester, Pa., 1903. Cross between Caroline 

 Testout and a Wichuraiana seedling. Placed with 

 Hybrid Tea climbers on account of the fact that its 

 flowers are large and double; borne singly and in 

 clusters; good form, with a perfect bud and good 

 petallage; color is wild rose pink; requires no protec- 

 tion; blooms best in spring. A few scattering flowers 

 in autumn. A very satisfactory climbing rose. Foli- 

 age lasts well. 



Climbing American Beauty. Hybrid Perpetual 

 Climber; Hoopes Bros. & Thomas Company. Rich 

 rosy crimson; strong, vigorous growth, hardy.
