HARDY 

 CLIMBING ROSES 



THE RAMBLER ROSES. 



In tlie lace for popularity no Rose has ever 

 made such a wonderful record as the Crimson Rambler, 

 which has now been on the market for over 10 yeais, 

 and is likely to remain at the head of the list of hardy 

 climbing;' Roses. The other Rambler varieties are 

 described in some catalogues as counter[)arls of the 

 crimson, except in color ; but, with the exception of 

 the Philadelphia Rambler, they will not bear such 

 close comparison, as their Uowers 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 ciimson 

 clusters of blossoms, each cluster a bouquet in itself. Up\\ards 

 of 15,000 blossoms have been produced by a single plant. 'Ihis 

 marvelous prodigality is not unusual with it, as it succeeds eveiy- 

 where. The blooms remain on the plant for a great length of 

 lime without losing their brightness; the foliage is also letained, 

 to a great extent, during the winter, making the plant 

 almost evergreen. It is perfectly hardy in all paits 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 intense crimson, which 



never fades out, and while it is not expected to supersede the old favorite, it is a 



most valuable adililion to our list of hardy climbing Roses. 

 Dorothy Perkins. Another climbing Rose, which in geneial habit closely 



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



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



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