NEW RAMBLER AND 

 CLIMBING ROSES 



Albertine. A remarkably free-flowering rambler with 

 nicely shaped buds expanding to moderately double flowers 

 of splendid form, nearly four inches in diameter; of a pleasing 

 cameo-pink with silvery suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage 

 rich deep glossy green. §1.00 each. 



Bonnie Prince. This new, pure white climber, which was 

 raised by Mr. Thomas Cook, a well-known amateur roasarian 

 of Boston, Mass., and presented by him to the Portland 

 Rose Society, is a strong vigorous Rambler, free-flowering, 

 pure snow-white, similar in form to Paul's Scarlet Climber. 

 This will no doubt supersede all other hardy white climbing 

 Roses. $1.00 each. 



Emily Gray. In this we have a real yellow climbing Rose as 

 hardy as Dr. Van Fleet. The buds are long and pointed, 

 of splendid shape; in color a beautiful light orange-yellow, 

 changing to pale orange as they expand; they are borne on 

 stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting; these stems are 

 of a crimson-red color which together with the unusually 

 dark green, glossy, hoUy-like foliage, adds a charm to the 

 flowers and makes the plant, even when out of bloom, a 

 most ornamental subject. $1.00 each. 



Jacotte. A wonderfully distinct Rose of strong, vigorous 

 habit, bronzy colored branches and rich green, glossy, 

 disease resisting foliage and good sized, delightfully sweet 

 scented flowers of a light salmon-orange with golden-yellow 

 shadings at the base of the petals. On account of its strong 

 healthy growth, clean foliage and beautiful flowers, differing 

 from aU other varieties, we consider this a gem among 

 climbers and a Rose that will please all who plant it. $1.00 

 each. 



New Climbing Rose, Emily Gray 



"^ 

 Mary Wallace. Named by the Portland Rose Society in honor of 

 the daughter of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, originated at 

 the Maryland Station of the Department of Agriculture by the 

 late lamented Dr. W. Van Fleet. 



The Department describes it as a pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, 

 self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large glossy foliage, 

 blooming with great freedom in spring and bearing a considerable 

 number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers very large, gener- 

 ally exceeding 4 inches across; well formed, semi-double, of a bright 

 clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals. $1.00 each. 



Papa Gouchault. We have been well pleased with our own experience with this 

 comparatively new French Rambler and have had many favorable comments from 

 customers who planted it in 1924 and flowered it last season. It is a pure crimson 

 holding its color under aU weather conditions without fading, with healthy mildew 

 resisting foliage; the flowers are produced in large trusses of 15 to 20 flowers each; 

 extremely hardy. $1.00 each. 



Star of Persia. A brilliant new Rose with flowers on the order of the lovely old 

 Harrison's Yellow, semi-double, bright yellow, and about 3 inches across. It makes a 

 striking low climber or pillar Rose from 8 to 10 feet high, bursting into showers of 

 sparkling bloom in June. It does not fade and the flower trusses last several weeks, 

 $2.00 each. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery-red with white eye in the 

 way of American PiUar, single and semi-double, produced in large clusters, handsome 

 foliage; a fine pillar Rose. $1.00 each.
