STAR GUIDE TO GOOD ROSES 



Hardy Climbing Roses 



*ALBERTINE. C. Midseason. Coppery pink. Illustrated 

 below. A distinet eolor and exceedingly vigorous — an aristo- 

 crat among climbers. Buds are salmon-orange, with gold. 

 The blooms come in bunches of several double (lowers, often 

 4 inches across with large petals, coppery chamois inside, 

 reverse bright salmon, turning to coppery pink; slightly 

 fragrant. A notable feature of this Rose is that the glossy 

 green foliage amply clothes the plant to the base. A profuse 

 bloomer in late May and June. $1 each. 



• CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. C.P. Early. Crim- 

 son. One of the first climbers to bloom, and giving an extra- 

 ordinary amount of large, sweet-scented, crimson flowers, 

 fine for cutting. Indeed, they should be cut, otherwise petals 

 do not drop but hang fast and fade. So cut them freely and 

 enjoy blooms that are outstanding among climbers. The 

 foliage is of medium size, glossy, handsome, and remarkably 

 free from pests. $1 each. 



•AMERICAN PILLAR. C. See in color, with description, 

 on page 43. Midseason to late. 



•AVIATEUR BLERIOT. C.G. Midseason. Rich apricot- 

 yellow blooms in small clusters. The form is disorderly with 

 the large number of little petals. A moderate climber and 

 good ground-cover. $1 each. 



•BESS LOVETT. C. Midseason. Shapely, double flowers 

 of clear light crimson, a little brighter and more steadfast in 

 color than Climbing American Beauty. One of the most 

 fragrant climbers. Fine for cutting. $1 each. 



•BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. P. Midseason. New. Crim- 

 son. A prodigious bloomer that occasionally produces a 

 second crop. The color of the small, vivid crimson flowers is 

 intensified by white centers and prominent 

 anthers of glowing gold. $1.50 each. 



•BREEZE HILL. C. Late. A fragrant, hardy 

 climbing Rose with extra-large, fully double 



blooms of pink with 



fawn suffusion and yel- 



low base. Not at its best 



until well established.
