■A-RED EMPRESS 



- 1 ; 



Star Climbing Roses are prolific bloom producers 

 and strong growers. Some of them described here 

 are true Everblooming kinds with blooms on them 

 most of the time. Others repeat their bloom during 

 the long season. All are very versatile, giving you 

 not only beautiful, colorful flowers but also effective 

 screens to beautify unsightly spots. Use them 

 against the house or garage, to trail along fences, 

 to cling to poles or trellises. Be sure not to prune 

 away first-year canes because they are the ones 

 which will produce next season's flowers. Keep 

 pruning to a minimum or to keep the canes in bounds 

 or to remove dead wood. You'll get most bloom if 

 you remove flower heads as they pass their peak. 



-A-CL. PEACE. Plant Pat. 932. This is the same 

 flower as the Hybrid Tea, but growing as a vigor- 

 ous and beautiful Climber. The fast-growing 

 canes are long and pliant. The blooms become 

 more numerous as the plant ages. Just as won- 

 derful a Climber as it is a Hybrid Tea. §2.25 ea.; 

 3 or more, $2 ea. 



•GLADIATOR. Plant Pat. 1524. An Ever- 

 blooming beauty with light red, or deep pink 

 blossoms growing on long, strong canes. Plenty 

 of flowers all season. Fragrant and good for 

 cutting. This vigorous Rose with its 8 to lO-foot 

 canes and good foliage is fine looking on trellis, 

 fence or pillar. $2.75 ea.; 3 for more, $2.40 ea. 



*RED EMPRESS 



The Great New Everblooming Climber 



Plant Pat. 1573. A hardy, continuous-blooming 

 beauty with extra-big blossoms like Hybrid Teas 

 in the most striking red. With good form and 

 strong fragrance, the flowers are completely 

 delightful. The plant is a lusty grower with 

 most attractive foliage and good growth habits. 

 Red Empress will bloom the very first year, a 

 feature which distinguishes this outstanding 

 Everblooming Climber. Without question, this 

 Rf)se is one of the more notable triumphs of 

 the hybridizer, Charles Mallerin, whose list of 

 great Roses is long. Give it a try this fall and 

 be rewarded next spring. $2.50 ea.; 3 or 

 more, $2.20 ea. 



• GOLDEN SHOWERS 



The All- America Winner for 1957 



Plant Pat. 1557. This is the first Climbing Rose 

 to take this top honor in many years, which 

 speaks for its quality. Golden Showers is strong 

 enough to stand alone as a shrub, a unique fea- 

 ture. It blooms all season long in splendid pro- 

 fusion, its exquisitely formed, daffodil-yellow 

 blooms always and beautifully in evidence. The 

 flowers are really big, often 5 inches across, and 

 you can imagine the impression they give in the 

 mass and in individual flowers or bouquets. 

 Golden Showers grows vigorously, sending up 

 8-foot canes in a season and providing a fine sight, 

 indeed, with its large, leathery, glossy green 

 foliage and bright blossoms. Whether you use 

 Golden Showers as a specimen shrub standing 

 alone, or as a pillar, or to decorate a trellis, 

 fence or building, you will have the sensation of 

 the neighborhood, for it will be the brightest, 

 gayest, most cheerful plant anywhere around! 

 §2.75 ea.; 3 or more, $2.40 ea.
