The New Hardy Climbing Roses 



HARDY EVERYWHERE 



ALIDA LOVETT— Both buds and flowers are large, are of ideal 

 form, and held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long, 

 and the color is a lively bright shell-pink with shadings of rich 

 sulphur at the base of petals — a combination that is both novel 

 and beautiful. The flowers are of remarkable substance and long 

 lived, whether cut or left to remain upon the plant and are pleas- 

 antly perfumed. It is very much brighter and more cheerful in 

 color with larger flowers than those of the justly popular Dr. Van 

 Fleet Rose. One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 

 12 for $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1 .40, 12 

 for $5.50. 



AMERICAN PILLAR — The flowers are enormous of size, three 

 to four inches across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom pink

 ers are borne in immense bunches. They last in perfection a long 

 time, and are followed by brilliant red hips of berries, which are 

 carried late into the winter. One-year plants, 25 cents each; 

 two-year plants 50 cents each.

 ing every branch. The bright effect is intensified by the pure 

 white centers and brilliant golden anthers which shine out when 

 the flowers are fully open. Awarded Certificate of Merit, Amer- 

 ican Rose Society. One-year plants 25 cents each; two- 

 year plants 50 cents each. 



BESS LOVETT — Resembles Climbing American Beauty in shape 

 of bloom, but is very much brighter in color and much more fra- 

 grant. The flowers are clear, bright red, of good size and of 

 double, full, cupped form lasting a long time in good condition.

JEAN GIRIN (Ward's Favorite.) — The flowers we similar in 

 form and color to the pink Dorothy Perkins. The chief merit of 

 this Rose is that after giving a mass of bloom in June, like the 

 other climbers, it blooms again. This Rose was a favorite of the 

 late Admiral Aaron Ward, a noted rosarian, because of its habit 

 of blooming a second time, which is most unusual in Roses of the 

 hardy climbing class. Cut off all the old June blooms to help 

 the plant produce more flowers during the summer and fall.

 recommended. Loses foliage early. One-year plants 20

 expression. One-year plants, 35 cents each; no two-year 

 to offer. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA— The defects of 

 Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable 

 weather and its defoliation by insects; the infusion of Wichu- 

 raiana blood assures an ornamental climber which is nearly ever- 

 green, and this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar Rose 

 a place in every American garden, for it is quite hardy in addi- 

 tion to all its other fine points. The flowers are very double,

 tense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet.
