NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 



DOROTHY PERKINS. 



A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by- 

 all who have tried it. The color is a beautiful, clear shell-pink, and it 

 blooms in clusters. We append the opinion of Mr. W. C. Egan, a well- 

 known rosarian : 



" When a novelty proves exceptionally good I feel like calling the attention of my 

 friends to it. I have grown about all the so-called Ramblers, but none among them 

 can compare with the new climbing Rose, Dorothy Perkins. It flowers in clusters 

 of from ten to thirty, each flower considerably over an inch in diameter, the stem to 

 the cluster being quite long, thus making them available for cutting and interior 

 decoration. The buds are of good length and rival those of that charming fairy 

 Rose Mme. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque work in their daintiness. The flowers 

 are fragrant and last a longtime in good condition. It is said to have withstood a 

 winter temperature of 20° below zero uninjured." 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, S3. 00

Climbing ClotKilde Soupert. j ■[ 



An invaluable addition to our list of hardy Roses of climbing habit- 

 It has withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below zero. It 

 blooms most profusely on growths made the previous season, producing 

 hundreds of clusters of perfect flowers. The color is French white with 

 a distinct centre of silvery-rose; flowers perfectly double even in the 

 hottest weather. It is the healthiest climbing Rose we know, has never 

 had anv disease and should succeed everywhere.

CLIMBING WOOTTON. 



Large deep crimson flowers, richly perfumed. It is a very vigorous 

 grower, almost impervious to mildew, ever-blooming, so that flowers may 



be expected from 

 well - established 

 plants throughout 

 the season. Too 

 much cannot be said 

 in praise of this grand 

 Rose. {See cut.)

 in the North by laying them down and covering with leaves or litter.

 " Papa Gontier" Rose. It is a vigorous climber. Color the same as the 

 parent, rich cherry-red, very rich and deep at the base of the petals.

Marechal Niel. The immense size, dark golden-yellow color of 

 "Marechal Niel" is familiar to all. Peerless in color, unexampled for 

 size, perfect in form, after more than a quarter of a century it still remains 

 the ideal climbing Tea Rose. 



Red Marechal Niel. A fitting companion for the yellow and white ; 

 the color is a beautiful shade of carmine-red. 



White Marechal Niel. Like the well-known " Marechal Niel," 

 flowers of the same size, shape and perfume, but pure white. 



Gloire de Dijon. Next to " M. Neil " this is the finest pillar Rose for 

 the greenhouse. Very large, double; rich, creamy-amber color. Per- 

 fectly hardy south of Washington, D. C, and in sheltered situations 

 it has survived the winters at New York.
