SINGLE-FLOWERED HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
Another division of hardy climbing Roses not referred to on page 61 are those 
that produce the single-flowered Roses. In these you'll find that the jewelled 
heart of a Rose with its golden aura of stamens gleams like a gem set in a circle 
of petals. Simple indeed they seem but powerfully impressive when, multiplied 
by the thousand, they “ride on dress parade”’ as it were. 
Why it should be so, that the single flowered Roses are so popular is hard to 
say, unless partly because perhaps, like the eyes of a portrait, the eyes of the 
single Roses seem to follow you round the garden. If they’re not there already, 
we can promise you that they soon will win a place in your affection. | 
*AMERICAN PILLAR. (See color illustration on opposite page.) In England 
the National Rose Society recently voted this their most popular Climbing Rose; 
in America that is usually the verdict as fast as American Pillar becomes known. 
We are naturally proud to have introduced it, twenty-two years ago, as the product 
of the late greatest American Rose hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. In early June 
the tremendously vigorous canes of this rampantly prosperous Rose plant, already 
carrying rich foliage, become covered with single flowers about 2 inches across, in 
shadings of carmine and rosy pink to white in the center, where they meet a 
cluster of long golden yellow stamens. The delicately fragrant blooms become 
lighter in tint as the days go by, and as they open successively in very large and 
symmetrical clusters all over the plant, the effect is wonderful. Sometimes as 
many as three thousand flowers have been noted on one young bush. American 
Pillar can be grown as a pillar Rose, if one is hard-hearted enough to cut off its 
beautiful growth, or it will climb, it will sprawl, it will make a wonderful bush, 
or planted 18 inches apart it will make a glorious hedge. No other Rose takes its 
place in any way. $1 each, 25 for $20. 
*HEART OF GOLD. See description on page 42. 
*HIAWATHA. Immense clusters of single flowers of intense deep crimson, 
shading to pure white at the base of the petals. $1 each. 
*WICHURAIANA. Particularly useful as a ground-cover on embankments 
or elsewhere, as it naturally grows close to the ground and roots where the 
branches touch. Its flowers are of medium size, single, white, and borne amid 
very beautiful glossy green foliage, in itself attractive the whole season. $1 each.
