Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Albertine. Nicely shaped vermilion buds expanding to moder- 

 ately double, perfect shaped flowers of a pleasing cameo-pink 

 with silvery suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage rich deep, glossy 

 green. 

 Alicia Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light yellow shadings at 



base of petals, flowers of good size and quality. 

 American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. 

 The flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely 

 shade of pink with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow 

 stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches and a 

 large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 

 Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American Beauty, in shape 

 of flower, but is brighter in color, a clear bright red, of good size 

 and of double form, strong and very fragrant. 

 Bonfire. One of the freest flowering, of Dorothy Perkins type 

 but with great trusses of cherry crimson flowers, an early 

 bloomer. 

 Breeze Hill (Introduction of the American Rose Society). On 

 account of its color, which is a deep cream with tints of pink and 

 salmon it has very aptly been described as a hardy Gloire de 

 Dijon, the flowers are large and very double, it is of strong climb- 

 ing habit, perfectly hardy and one of the latest to come into 

 bloom. $1.00 each. 



Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, of strong climbing 

 habit. The flowers are double, from 3J to 4 inches in diameter, 

 borne singly and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud 

 and in the fully expanded flower; color a most refreshing bright 

 wild-rose pink. 



Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat mis- 

 leading, but it is one of the best climbing Roses; a strong healthy 

 vigorous grower, frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet 

 long, and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so 

 freely; color rich rosy crimson, of splendid form and good sub- 

 stance. 



Crimson Rambler. Large clusters of crimson flowers. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large 

 clusters, very fragrant and lasting, a grand Rose in every way. 



Dr. Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of flower to 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, but of an intense dark crimson color, 

 and when fully expanded shows its numerous golden stamens, 

 making a beautiful color combination. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of its dainty color 

 and exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, has become a great 

 favorite. The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 

 12 to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. A strong vigorous 

 grower. 



Ernestine Cosme. A unique single flowered variety of pretty 

 form and of a delicate soft pink which are produced in great 

 pyramidal-shaped, many flowered sprays, in greatest profusion; 

 a vigorous healthy grower. 



Excelsa. An intense crimson-maroon with tips of petals tinged 

 with scarlet, an improvement on the old Crimson Rambler. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of cream 

 color; incurving towards evening to the shape and color of a 

 Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 



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

 usually dark green, glossy holly-like foliage, adds a charm to 

 the flowers. Requires protection north of Philadelphia. 



Glendale (Introduction of the American Rose Society). A per- 

 fectly hardy climber with heavy dark green disease-resistant 

 foliage and long, slightly fragrant, beautiful lemon-yellow buds 

 of uniform shape which open to creamy-white, fairly double 

 flowers which are borne in clusters of up to 20 flowers on stems 

 long enough for cutting. $1 .00 each. 



Gwen Nash. One of the prettiest climbers we know, a large 

 semi-double flower opening out quite flat and of a most beautiful 

 soft shell pink, very free flowering. $1.00 each. 



Hiawatha. A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear white 



eye and a mass of golden stamens. 

 Jacotte. Color shrimp-pink or light salmon-orange shaded 

 golden yellow at base; flowers fully 2J inches in diameter, de- 

 lightfully scented; rich dark green glossy disease-resisting 

 foliage, entirely distinct from all others and a color which will 

 make it a favorite. $1.00 each. 

 Le Reve. A yellow pillar Rose of which Dr. J. Horace McFar- 

 land, editor of the American Rose Annual, under date of May 

 31, 1927, said: "Le Reve is perfectly beautiful today, a yellow 

 rose requiring no excuse for any fading, for it is yellow and stays 

 yellow. The foliage is good, the plant is good-looking and the 

 fragrance to me, is delightful." 

 Marie Gouchault. Identical with Dorothy Perkins, excepting 

 in color, which is a clear geranium-pink without magenta 

 shadings. Very free and early. 

 Mary Lovett. Large well-formed flowers of pure waxy white, 



sweetly scented. 

 Mary Wallace. Well formed, semi-double flowers of a bright 

 clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals, flowers large, 

 generally exceeding four inches in diameter, very free flowering 

 Mme. Jenny. A very strong growing climber with large, healthy 

 disease-resisting foliage with flowers two inches and over in 

 diameter borne in clusters of from 5 to 7 flowers each; these are 

 cup-shaped, quite full, of a delicate satiny rose color with a 

 delightful fragrance, not unlike the old-fashioned sweet-scented 

 Cabbage or Provence Rose. $1.00 each. 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most popular of all climbing 

 Roses. Unequaled in brilliancy by any other variety, these are 

 of a vivid scarlet, of large size and are produced in clusters of 

 from 3 to 20 flowers on long, strong stems. 

 Paul's Lemon Pillar. A very beautiful and entirely distinct 

 showy large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly formed flower, 

 that has proven hardy in this latitude. Fine as a pillar Rose'. 

 Phyllis Bide ( New Everblooming Climber). The feature of this 

 variety is that it blooms continuously throughout the summer 

 and fall and while the dainty flowers are of small size they are of 

 exquisite form in bud, opening with gracefully reflexed petals and 

 are produced in long loose sprays; in color a pale gold at base 

 flushed and shaded pretty rosy-carmine towards the edges. 

 Roserie (Red Tausendschoen). Of the same habit of growth and 

 flowering as Tausendschoen, but of a deeper and more even 

 shade of cerise-pink, or carmine. 

 Silver Moon. Different from all other Roses, with beautiful 

 semi-double flowers four and a half inches and over in diameter; 

 pure white in color, petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, 

 forming a Clematis-like flower. 

 Solarium. In single flowering climbers this is a gem. It is of 

 the same type as Hiawatha on which it is a decided improve- 

 ment, the flowers being larger, more freely produced and of 

 more brilliant coloring, an intensely rich crimson-scarlet. 

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

 of the lovely old Harison's Yellow, semi-double, bright yellow, 

 and about 3 inches across. A striking variety, bursting into 

 showers of sparkling bloom in June. It does not fade and the 

 flower trusses last several weeks. 

 The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery- 

 red with white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and 

 semi-double, produced in large clusters, handsome foliage. 

 Tausendschoen. A popular variety with large flowers with 

 wavy azalea-like petals. In color it is a most delicate shade of 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to carmine on the reverse 

 of petals when fully expanded. 

 Wichuraiana {Memorial Rose). Pretty, fragrant single pure 

 white flowers with yellow stamens followed in fall by bright red 

 hips or berries, a good Climbing Rose where no great height is 

 required, especially valuable where a trailing plant is desired. 



forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.
