HARDY CLinBINQ ROSES. 



THE RAMBLER ROSE8. 



In the race for popularity no Rose has ever made such a wonderful record 

 as the Crimson Rambler, which has now been on the maiket for over 10 

 years, and is likely to remain at the head of the list of haidy chnibing Roses. 

 Tho other Rambler varieties , 

 are described in some cata- 

 logues as counterparts of the 

 crimson, except in color; but, 

 with the exception of the 

 Philadelphia Rambler, they 

 will not bear such close com- 

 parison, as their flowers lack 

 quality and finish. They are, 

 however, entirely distinct and 

 excellent Roses, and deserve 

 a place in every garden. 



Crimson Rambler. A 



vigorous grower, making 

 shoots 10 to 20 feet in 

 height in a single season, 

 and when in bloom com- 

 mands admiration by the 

 gorgeous display of its 

 brilliant crimson clusters 

 of blossoms, each cluster a 

 bouquet in itself. Up- 

 wards of 15,000 blossoms 

 have been produced by a 

 single plant. This mar- 

 velous prodigality is not 

 unusual with it, as it suc- 

 ceeds everywhere. The 

 blooms remain on the plant 

 for a great length of time 

 without losing their bright- 

 ness ; the foliage is also 

 retained, to a great extent, 

 during the winter, making 



the plant almost evergreen. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country

Philadelphia Rambler. This variety is a cross between Crimson Rambler 

 and the Hybrid Perpetual Victor Hugo, and is identical in all respects to the 

 Crimson Rambler, except in color, which is a deeper, brighter and more in- 

 tense crimson, which never fades out, and while it is not expected to super- 

 sede the old favorite, it is a most valuable addition to our list of hardy 

 climbing Roses. 



Oorothy Perkins. Another climbing Rose, which in general habit closeU 

 resembles the Crimson Rambler, but of a beautiful shell-pink, full and double, 

 and of an unusually large size for a cluster Rose. The trusses are made up 

 of from 30 to 40 flowers, and frequently 50 to 60 flowers on the stronger 

 branches; a decided acquisition, and a Rose that is certain to become popular 



White Rambler ( 7 halia). Also per- 

 fectly hardy and a strong, vigorous 

 grower; flowers white.
