CLIMBING ROSES 



These vigorous-growing Roses are especially valuable 

 for the great quantity of bloom produced at one time. 

 One of the Ramblers, Bloomfield Courage, or a free- 

 blooming, large-flowered Climber like Mme. Gregoire 

 Staechelin (see inside back cover), is a glorious sight when 

 in full bloom. Some of the Climbing Hybrid Teas (see 

 opposite page) bloom quite freely early in the season and 

 produce a few flowers off and on until frost; they are 

 best used as pillars. 



The letters after the names indicate the type of growth: 

 R., Ramblers. These Roses should have the canes that 

 have flowered cut back to the ground soon after they 

 finish blooming. The vigorous new growths (from the 

 base) should be trained again on the support. C, Clim- 

 bers. Vigorous varieties that make massive canes. They 

 keep on climbing. Prune only dead wood and surplus 

 growth. P., Pillar. Roses that grow only 8 to 10 feet. 

 G., Ground-covers. To cover banks, etc. CI.H.T., Climb- 

 ing Hybrid Teas. CI.H.P., Climbing Hybrid Perpetuals. 



*A bud of Apeles Mestres 



• AMERICAN PILLAR. C. Midseason. Pink. 

 The single flowers come in immense heads of 25 

 to 40 blooms, on rigid, 18-inch stems, each head 

 making a perfect bouquet of varying shades of 

 charming pink, with a white center to each bloom 

 and gleaming golden anthers. Lasts a week when 



cut. Slight fra- 

 grance. 75 cts. 

 each. 



• APELES MESTRES. CI.H.P. Midseason. (Pedro Dot, 

 1931.) See illustration. Can you imagine a fully double, clear 

 yellow Rose, as large as a saucer, blooming way over your 

 head on a climbing plant? Sounds like the fish that got away, 

 but it is a true description of this new Climbing Rose. No 

 wonder customers who bought our first plants have been 

 winning prizes at the shows. The flowers on the original plants 

 in our test-garden average 5 inches in diameter when fully 

 open. They are full to the center, with some 50 parchment- 

 like petals of clear yellow, making a long-lasting flower, 

 slightly fragrant. The plants make canes 10 to 12 feet tall, 

 and while not free flowering, every bud opens to a perfect 

 exhibition bloom. $1.50 each. 



ir ALBERTINE. C. Midseason. See illustration below. Large, loose 

 flowers of pink and apricot evolve from vermilion buds; the attractive 

 blooms are mildly fragrant. Strong plants with red canes and large, shiny 

 leaves. 75 cts. each. 



ir BLAZE. See description and illustration, page 19. 



• BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. R. Midseason. Rich crimson. Artistic, 

 wavy, single blooms float like myriads of crimson butterflies over the almost 

 thornless, vigorous-growing plant. Beautiful for fences. 75 cts. each. 



ir BREEZE HILL. C. Midseason. Pink and fawn. A vigorous grower 

 with light green foliage. The pink and fawn blooms are very large, fully 

 double to the center, and sweetly fragrant. 75 cts. each. 



• DR. W. VAN FLEET. C. Very early. Shell-pink. For over 20 years 

 this was the leading light pink Climbing Rose, and where lovely shiny 

 foliage and vigorous growth are desired it is still unsurpassed. One matured 

 plant will cover the side of a one-car garage. 75 cts. each. 



• EMILY GRAY. C. Early. Clear yellow, well-formed flowers. The 

 glossy foliage looks varnished. A vigorous grower. 75 cts. each. 



if GARDENIA. C. Early. Yellow. A vigorous-growing Climber with 

 willowy canes and almost evergreen foliage that remains on the plant well 

 into the winter. A splendid cut-flower as the bright yellow buds open to 

 creamy white flowers of fine form. Because of the beauty of the buds and 

 the hardiness of the plants, Gardenia has long been in the front rank of 

 Climbing Roses. 75 cts. each.
