CLIMBING HYBRID -TEA AND TENDER CLIMBING ROSES 



While not as free flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of flowers in June, 

 with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. The tender sorts are not hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia, except in 

 favored positions, or with protection; especially adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for outdoor culture in the South. 



Black Boy. An Australian introduction where it has become a 

 great favorite: a sweet scented large fiery scarlet overlaid with 

 blackish maroon. 



Climbing Caroline Testout. Combines all the good points 

 of the popular pink bush Rose in climbing form. 



Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Beautifully shaped buds of large 

 size, of a rich dazzling scarlet. 



Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A climbing form of 

 this popular white Rose. 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climbing Hy- 

 brid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 

 Nursery, with very little protection, has withstood many 

 winters, producing not only an immense crop of its very large 

 soft rose-colored flowers in June, but continuing to bloom 

 almost without intermission until the end of the season. 



Climbing Lady Hillingdon. Beautiful long well formed buds 

 of a luminous coppery shade of apricot-yellow. 



Climbing Los Angeles. A strong climbing form of the popular 

 Rose Los Angeles, producing equally beautiful sweet scented 

 flowers of a luminous flame-pink with golden coral suffusion.

excepting it is of climbing form, a valuable hardy pillar Rose. 

 Climbing Rose Marie. Climbing form of the attractive rose- 

 pink bedding variety. 

 Climbing Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. This climbing 



sport of this beautiful yellow Rose will make a fine subject as a 



climber or pillar Rose and we believe will prove hardy with 



protection. 

 Climbing Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. A very strong 



growing climbing form of this beautiful yellow. 

 Kitty Kininmonth. An Australian variety of an attractive 



bright fadeless^ pink with large buds and very large cupped 



flowers; very vigorous. 

 Marechal Niel. Superb; bright golden-yellow. 

 Miss Marion Manifold. Also comes from Australia very 



highly recommended; a brilliant rich crimson, said to be the 



finest climbing Rose yet produced. 



PRICE. Any of the above, in strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 

 Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage 

 is deliciously scented. Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be 

 grown as pillar Roses. 



Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 



lustre, the base of each petal is yellow.

Moss Roses 



The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy 

 covering which surrounds the buds. Moss Roses should be pruned 

 sparingly; cut out the old wood and merely cut back the growth 

 of last year. 



Blanche Moreau. Large pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Salet. Large, full double, light rose.

Rose Species 



Rosa HugoniS. This species, from China, is unlike any otter Rose. It is of 

 shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms symmetrical bushes about 6 

 feet high, and while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable 

 subject when planted in connection with other shrubs or as single specimens 

 in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching sprays 

 early in May, every branch of the previous season's growth becomes lined 

 on both sides to the very tips with these attractive flowers. Strong two- 

 year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Rosa Moyesi. A strikingly beautiful species, similar in habit of growth to 

 Rosa Hugonis but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with attractive, brilliant, 

 single, deep blood-red flowers, in June. $1.50 each. 



Rosa Xanthina. Bright yellow double flowers about two inches across, 

 really a double flowering Hugonis with better foliage and lasts in flower 

 for a much longer period. $1.50 each.

Perpetual flowering Roses of shrub-like habit, valuable for planting in the 

 shrubbery, being particularly attractive in the fall.

inches in diameter, borne in clusters. Color strawberry flushed yellow.
