HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, continued 



•FERNAND RABIER. Late. A needed addition to the Perkins group, being 

 two shades deeper than Excelsa, which is carmine-lake color and is known as 

 "Red Dorothy Perkins." The color of this Rose is deep crimson-scarlet, almost as 

 dark as the Dr. Huey Rose shown on page 61. $L50each. 



*GARDENLA.. Early. Of rampantly vigorous growth, with numerous long 

 canes that will go anywhere, and which produce in early summer quantities of pleas- 

 ing small yellow buds opening to creamy white. The foliage is very good and would 

 justify this Rose even if it had only a few blooms. Gardenia is the most depend- 

 able of climbers with a yellow tendency. $1 each. 



Bushels of Yellow Bloom froiri This Rose 



From a Gardenia, seven years old, I cut 596 blooms in 1923, 1,250 in 1924, and 470 up to date 

 this year, and expect to get about 2,000. — C. A., Hampton, Tenn. 



*HLA.WATHA. Late. The most brilliant red of the cluster-flowered, late- 

 blooming climbers. Color is deep scarlet with orange suffusion, turning to bright 

 pink with white center. It is remarkable for the length of time it remains in 

 bloom. The long, thin growths are especially amenable to any kind of training. 

 Fine for a trellis. Si each. 



*ILE DE FRANCE. (New.) Midseason. A truly double form of the great 

 American Pillar Rose (see page 61) with somewhat more cerise in the coloring. 

 It blooms profusely. Our opinion is that this is a splendid addition to the hardy 

 climbing Roses. $1.50 each. 



*JACOTTE. Midseason. Had more admirers than any other climber during 

 the past summer in the Star Rose-Gardens, and justly so. Large flowers of red- 

 dish copper, heavily shaded with yellow and quite fragrant. A startling new color 

 in climbing Roses with typical hofly-Iike rich glossy foliage. It is as hardy as 

 any Wichuraiana. Like Emily Gray, it produces its best blooms after you have 

 it planted two years, when it becomes very vigorous. $1 each. 



•MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN. (New, 1928.) Midseason. See de- 

 scription and illustration in natural colors, pages 42 and 43. 



*MME. SANCY DE PARABERE. Very early. Medium-sized, informal, 

 double flowers, clear pink and most delightfully fragrant. Blooms generally come 

 two to four on a stem long enough for cutting, and they last a long time. The wood 

 is thornless. So hardy it needs no protection anywhere. $1 each. 



*MARY WALLACE. Early. Shown in natural color on page 63. A dis- 

 tinctive new^ climbing Rose, with its long buds and charming flowers of brilliant, 

 warm pink color. If you grow it in Pillar form, as we have it in our Rose-Garden, 

 you will find fresh, warm pink Roses to enjoy over a long season. The color in the 

 illustration does not convey the real beauty of this lovely climber. SI each. 



*MRS. M. H. WALSH. Late. A Wichuraiana hybrid with exquisite glossy 

 foliage, and with the strongest possible desire to trail rather than to climb. The 

 flowers are double, pure snow-white, and freely produced. You should use this 

 Rose to plant alternately with Wichuraiana (see page 67) to prevent banks from 

 washing. Roses like this planted along the top of retaining walls give a finished 

 appearance to a property. The glossy foliage is attractive all the growing season 

 and remains until well into the winter. Its branches grow horizontally so that 

 it does not need to be staked down. $1 each. 



*PAPA GOUCHAULT. Midseason. The new crinison Rambler, with all 

 its good qualities and none of its faults, except some of its stiffness. Flowers in 

 large panicles, pure crimson red, lasting a long time without fading. Abundant, 

 glistening green foliage. A true Renaissance of the once popular Crimson Ram- 

 bler. $1.50 each.
