HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
NEWER VARIETIES AND A FEW THAT ARE SCARCE 
Including the Ramblers, Cl., Polyanthas, Wichuraiana, Multifloras, Hybrid Noisettes, Setigera and Climbing Chinas 
These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pillars, 
pergolas, arches, etc.; in fact, wherever a hardy climber is required. This list includes 
Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, etc. 
AMERICAN PILLAR—A single flowering variety of great beauty, 
which appeals to every one. The flowers are of enormous size, 
three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom 
pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. 
These flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant 
in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They last in per- 
fection a long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or 
berries, which are carried late into the winter; and as the plant 
frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of 
November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout 
the autumn months. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY—A seedling from American 
Beauty with Wichuraiana and Tea blood in its veins. The 
introducers say of it: ‘Same color, size and fragrance as Amer- 
ican Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. Good 
foliage, and better blooming qualities. One plant of this new 
Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers in June as the 
old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally during the 
summer. Blooms three to four inches across; has proved per- 
fectly hardy and stands heat and drought as well as any Rose 
in our collection.’”’ This Rose has already made its mark, and 
wherever it has been planted it has pleased until today wesell 
it by the tens of thousands. You lose if you are slow to take 
hold of “‘Climbing American Beauty.’”’ It grows and blooms. 
25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN— 
This is a true ever-blooming Crimson Rambler, for at this writ- 
ing (August Ist) it is in full bloom in the garden with enormous 
heads of richest crimson. There has been a widespread demand 
for a Crimson Rambler that would bloom more than once. 
Here you have it. Everyone knows how Baby Rambler is 
always in bloom. This is simply a climbing form of the Baby 
Rambler, embracing all its good qualities. 20 cents; two= 
year plants, 50 cents. 
CLIMBING FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI—As ‘Frau Karl 
Druschki” or: ‘‘White American Beauty”’ has become the lead- 
ing white Rose this will undoubtedly follow and become the 
most popular climbing white Rose. It is entirely hardy and is 
an exact counterpart of “Frau Karl Druschki” in every way 
except that it is a most vigorous climber. Pure paper-white 
flowers: Superb in every way. 20 cents; two-year plants, 
cents. 
CLIMBING MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH—One of the finest types 
of the Climbing Baby Roses; of dwarf growth, producing in 
constant profusion flowers of a pleasing bright pink; borne in 
huge trusses; fine. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 
GRAF ZEPPELIN—A brilliant rose-colored flower that attracts 
from a great distance; vigor of Crimson Rambler. Cupped form; 
double. In immense trusses; unusually floriferous. This Rose 
is unsurpassed as a climber. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40c. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET—Flowers when open run four inches and 
over in diameter. The center is built high, petals beautifully 
undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkable delicate 
shade of flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy-flesh 
in the center. The flowers are full and double, of delicate per- 
fume; buds pointed. It very much resembles Souy. de Pres. 
Carnot in color. Superb. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cts. 
HIAWATHA—This Rose is just coming into its own, being 
largely forced in pots for Easter time and its good qualities as 
a grand outdoor climber are becoming known. There is no 
other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be 
appreciated. Its flowers are about one and one-half inches 
across, and produced in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently 
from forty to fifty flowers on a spray. In color it is brilliant, 
truby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden 
stamens—a glowing combination of colors, which can be seen 
at a great distance, and which does not tire the eye as do masses 
of Crimson Rambler. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, 
with bright green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late 
in fall. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA—It is a good deal 
to claim for a Rose, but we are within bounds when we describe 
Excelsa as a brilliant Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, var- 
nished Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crimson Rambler 
are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable weather, and its defoli- 
ation by insects; the infusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an 
ornamental climber which is nearly evergreen, and this will 
assure this lovely crimson- -scarlet pillar Rose a place in every 
American garden, for it is quite hardy in addition to all its 
other fine points. The flowers are very double, produced in 
large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye on a shoot 
produces clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson- 
maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of 
all Crimson Ramblers. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
SHOWER OF GOLD—This variety produces masses of flowers 
in large clusters. The color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange 
shadings in the center. Enormous lateral branches are pro- 
duced, which are densely clad with glossy green foliage that 
Tesists disease. This fills the “long felt want” fora ‘Yellow 
Rambler.” 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES—A Chinbing 
Rose that comes. to us from Germany. The flowers upon first 
opening are the most delicate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, 
might be described as a white delicately flushed pink changing 
to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers and 
the variation in coloring; beautiful; will become as famous as 
Crimson Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We wrote the above 
two years ago, and now we can add that this Rose is sweeping 
the country like a prairie fire. You can word paint all you 
want to and then you will have left something unsaid. See 
a wonder. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 
VEILCHENBLAU, The Blue Rose—The most 
wonderful Rose of the century for the reason 
that it marks a decided advance in the color of 
the Rose hitherto only dreamed of. Veilchen- 
blau or Violet Blue is the proper name, but no 
doubt it will be known in America as the Blue 
Rose. This Rose is going to have a larger sale 
by far than Crimson Rambler. Have we seen it 
flower? Well, we guess yes, and our word for it 
if you want something to cause you to stop and 
take notice, the Blue Rose will fill the bill. At 
a distance of fifty or a hundred feet a bush of 
the Blue Rose in full bloom will startle you. A 
seedling from Crimson Rambler, semi-double 
flowers larger than that variety, produced in 
large trusses. This Rose first opens reddish- 
lilac but quickly changes to amethyst and steel- 
blue, finishing violet-blue. Very distinct and ex- 
tremely pleasing. A wonder. Going to sell? Yes, 
everybody will want and will demand the Blue 
Rose. 20 cents; two-year plant, 50 cents. 
WARTBURG—This is a strong growing Rose, a 
seedling from Tausendschoen, with charming 
carmine-colored bloom in huge trusses. 20 
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents- 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS—(B. R. Cant, 
1908.) (W.) It has been the cry of nursery- 
men for years for a white climber that would 
rank up with Crimson Rambler, and now we 
have the pleasure of offering this White Dorothy 
Perkins that in every way is the equal, if not 
superior, to Crimson Rambler as a red, and 
Dorothy Perkins as a pink. This Rose has no 
rival as a white climber. 20 cents; two-year 
TAUSENDSCHOEN, OR THOUSAND BEAUTIES. plants, 50 cents.
