FOUR FINE CLIMBING 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES. 



While not as a rule as free-flowering as the bush type of Hybrid- 

 Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of beautiful 

 flowers in June, with a very fair scattering of blooms throughout the 

 season. In pruning this class, cut out all small, thin wood and cut 

 the strong shoots back to prominent eyes. 

 Climbing Caroline Testout.. A climbing form of the old favorite 



satiny-pink. 

 Climbing Belle Siebrecht. Identical with its parent, a brilliant 



imperial-pink color. 

 Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The climbing form of 



this most popular white Rose; very free. 

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

 Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our Nursery, 

 with very little protection, has withstood [the past four winters with 

 only the longest branches cut by frost, producing not only an im- 

 mense crop of its very large soft rose-colored flowers in June, but 

 continuing in bloom almost without intermission until the end of 

 the season. A Royal Rose that cannot be recommended too 

 highly. 75 cts. each; §7.50 per doz. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, in strong two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.(!0 per doz. The set of 4 varieties for $2.00. 



TENDER CLIMBING, or 



PILLAR ROSES. 



These 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. 

 Glorie de Dijon. An old favorite; flowers blush with salmon 



shadings; a fine climber for a sheltered wall. 

 Reine Marie Henriette. Cherry-crimson. By many this fine 



Rose is known as the Red Gloire de Dijon. 

 Marechal Niel. Superb; bright golden-yellow. 

 W. A. Richardson. A peculiar shade of orange-yellow. 

 White Banksia. White, small flowers; very fragrant. 

 Yellow Banksia. Yellow, small flowers; very fragrant. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 

 One each of the 6 sorts for $2.o0. 



HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 



(Continued.) 



Silver Moon. Different from all other Roses; flowers very 

 large, four and a half inches and over in diameter, pure white 

 in color, petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, form- 

 ing a Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow 

 stamens in the centre adds to its attractiveness. These 

 flowers are borne on strong stems 12 to 18 inches long, and 

 are delicately scented. The plant is a strong grower, with 

 large, glossy bronzy-green foliage. (See cut.) Strong two- 

 year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Tausendschoen. Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, 

 but in climbing Roses generally. The individual flowers are 

 very large for this type of Rose, being fully 3 inches across 

 and of a most elegant and graceful form, not stiff or unnatu- 

 ral, but as beautiful as a semi-double Azalea. In color it is 

 a most delightful shade of soft pink when first opening, 

 changing to carmine on the reverse of petals when fully 

 expanded. These are produced in trusses of from 10 to 15 

 flowers, each truss a veritable bouquet. 



White Dorothy. Among Rambler Roses none has justly 

 gained greater popularity than the benutiful pink Dorothy 

 Perkins. The White Dorothy is a duplicate except in color. 



Price. Any of the Hardy Climbing Roses offered on this and 

 preceding pages, except where noted, in strong two- 

 year-old plants, 50 cts, each; $5.00 per doz.; 

 $35.00 per 100. One each of the 14 



varieties, a fine collection, for $6.00.
