^Mme. Gregoire Staechelinl 



IT IS an actual fact that one of America's best-informed Rose-growers 

 doffed his hat, almost reverently, when he first saw this most gorgeous 

 of all climbing Roses in full bloom at our. Rose-Gardens. Everywhere 

 this climber has made an instant appeal. In thVep years- i^t has be- 

 come a universal favorite. .^ '~^' r - 

 The reasons for such popularity are plain, or^ce tKs climber has'be^n seen in*^ 

 flower. Its color is unmatched by any other RoseX\Vh'en the sepals of the long- 

 pointed buds begin to dix-ide, the first color is a deep'marbon which \\ill lea^^'-e an 

 indelible imprint to the last, but as the bud de\eIops into the rare and graceful iirn 

 shape, that maroon stripe begins to "run" into a graduated carmine/paling somewhat 

 as the bloom expands into a large, semi-double cup with a "schooT;;§^--'4MnpIexi^" 

 tint. The hardiness of this Rose has been proved by six consecuth^^wio-jers at,' 

 West Grove, where zero weather is almost an annual occurrence. Plan'^.^ifsive 

 cold New England winters without dying bacic, and for this reason we recom*i^e/d 

 this Spanish beauty for northern gardens. It is one of the earliest' to bloom. 



Unlike rambler Roses, Mme. Gregoire Staechelin bears 3 to 5 large Jilooms on 

 each stem 12 to 15 inches long, which makes it excellent for cutting. ^ 



The supreme honor of Rosedom, "The Gold Medal of Bagatelle," was awarded 

 this magnificent climbing Rose on June 11. 1927 It v.-^.s introduced in America 

 by The Conard-Pyle Co. This is the leader of a new and distinct race of hardy 

 climbing Roses. Price $2.50 each, 4 for $9. 



Use climbing Roses to cover arches, garages, fences, etc. The following 

 are all large-flowering and leaders in their color classes.
