HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 



THE ra:»ibler roses. 



Crimson Rambler, Tin- wnmlerful climbing Rose, introduced some 

 twelve years ago, has made a record for itself equalied liy no other Rose. 

 Every season it gains 

 in popularity, and it ap- 

 pears destined to remai n at 

 the head of the list of 

 Lardy climbing Roses. It 

 is a vigorous grower, mak- 

 ing 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 jirodigaliiy 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 

 brightness ; the foliage is 

 also retained, to a great 

 extent, during the winter, 

 making the plant alnio-t 

 evergreen. It is perfectly 

 hardy in .t11 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 climb- 

 ing Roses. 



Dorothy Perkins. Another climbing Rose, which in gener.^1 habit closely 

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

 and of an unusuallv 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 worthy of as extensive planting 

 as the Crimson Rambler, to which it is an excellent companion. 



Yellow Rambler (.-l^^/in'ei). A strong 

 grower with large trusses of nearly 

 double pale yellow flowers ; fragrant.

White Rambler ( Thalia). Also per- 

 fectly hardy and a strong, vigorous
