New Hardy Climbing Roses 



CHAPLIN'S PINK CLIMBER 



Unquestionably the most important acquisition in climbing Roses since the introduction of 

 Dr. Van Fleet and Paul's Scarlet Climber, universally recognized as the most popular climbing 

 Roses, and to which Chaplin's Pink Climber will prove an equally valuable companion. 



This striking novelty originated in the same nursery in which Paul's Scarlet Climber was 

 raised. It is a cross between Paul's Scarlet and American Pillar, of strong growth, perfectly 

 hardy, producing its large flowers, similar in size and form to Paul's Scarlet, profusely in strong 

 trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers each, but in color a rich lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National Rose Society of England in 1928. it was the outstanding 

 feature among the new Roses and was awarded the Society's Gold Medal. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 each. 



PRIMROSE, THE NEW YELLOW RAMBLER 



In this we have what has long been sought after a real hardy yellow rambler a 

 strong vigorous grower and hardy under the same conditions under which Dr. Van 

 Fleet and similar varieties will succeed. In color light primrose-yellow which is 

 maintained until the petals drop. Its flowers are borne in trusses of from 2 to 5, on 

 long stems, about 2\ inches in diameter. The plant is of vigorous climbing habit,

MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin has aristocratic parents, Frau Karl Druschki and 

 Chateau de Clos Vougeot, and has inherited the best traits of both. The long- 

 pointed buds are crimson at first as the sepals divide, then the firm outer petals 

 show splashes of carmine as the flower opens, with an iridescent pearl-pink inside 

 and it is richly perfumed. 



It grows 12 feet or more and has large, disease-resistant foliage. The main stem 

 of the plant shoots upright and the long bloom-spurs stand out 18 inches at right 

 angles, with exquisite, full, fragrant blooms. These blooms come early in June and 

 last over a long period.
