NEW RAMBLER AND 

 CLIMBING ROSES 



Albertine. A remarkably free-flowering rambler with 

 nicely shaped buds expanding to moderately double flowers 

 of splendid form, nearly four inches in diameter; of a pleasing 

 cameo-pink with silvery sufifusion, sweetly scented; foliage 

 rich deep glossy green. SI .00 each. 



Bonnie Prince. This new, pure white climber, which was 

 raised by Mr. Thomas Cook, a well-known amateur rosarian 

 of Boston, Mass., and presented by him to the Portland 

 Rose Society, is a strong Ndgorous Rambler, free-flowering, 

 pure snow-white, similar in form to Paul's Scarlet Climber. 

 This will no doubt supersede all other hardy white climbing 

 Roses. SI. 00 each. 



Emily Gray. In this we have a real yellow climbing Rose as 

 hardy as Dr. Van Fleet. The buds are long and pointed, 

 of splendid shape; in color a beautiful light orange-yellow, 

 changing to pale orange as they e.xpand; they are borne on 

 stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting; these stems are 

 of a crimson-red color which together with the unusually 

 dark green, glossy, holly-like foliage, adds a charm to the 

 flowers and makes the plant, even when out of bloom, a 

 most ornamental subject. $1.00 each. 



Jacotte. A wonderfully distinct Rose of strong vigorous 

 habit, bronzy colored branches and rich green, glossy, 

 disease resisting foliage and good sized, delightfully sweet 

 scented flowers of a light salmon-orange with golden-yellow 

 shadings at the base of the petals. On account of its strong 

 healthy growth, clean foliage and beautiful flowers, dif- 

 fering from all other varieties, we consider this a gem among 

 climbers and a Rose that will please all who plant it. $1 .00 

 each. 



Xew Climbing Rose, Emily Gr.vy 



Mary Wallace. Named by the Portland Rose Society in honor of 



the daughter of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, originated at 



the Maryland Station of the Department of Agriculture by the 



late lamented Dr. W. Van Fleet, one of the world's greatest 



Rosarians, and is the first of a series of what has been called 



"dooryard" Roses, that is expected to be of great usefulness 



and adaptability and to the production of which Dr. Van Fleet 



was giving his best endeavors at the time of his death. 

 The Department describes it as a pillar Rose, making a fine, 



strong, self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large glossy 



foliage, blooming with great freedom in spring and bearing a 



considerable number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers 



very large, generally exceeding 4 inches across; well-formed, 



semi-double, of a bright clear rose-pink with salmon base to the 



petals. SI .50 each. 



SPECIAL OFFER. One strong two-year-old plant each of the above 8 New Climbing Roses for S7.50. 



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 liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. 

 Climbing Caroline Testout. Combines all the good points 

 of the popular pink bush Rose in climbing form. 



Mermaid. Beautiful large single creamy white flowers, 3 to 4 

 inches in diameter. A most attractive free and more or less 

 perpetual flowering variety. A splendid pillar Rose, but not 

 dependably hardy in this latitude. It requires careful winter 

 protection. SI -50 each. 



Papa Gouchault. A French introduction that comes to us 

 highly recommended as a pure crimson that holds its color under 

 all weather conditions without fading and with mildew-resistant 

 foliage, the flowers are produced in large trusses of 15 to 20 

 flowers each. $1.00 each. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective novelty, bright fiery-red 

 with white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and semi- 

 double, produced in large clusters, handsome foliage; a fine 

 pillar Rose. SI 00 each. 



Climbing H. V. Machin. A counterpart of the rich scarlet 

 bush variety, but of very strong climbing habit. SI. 50 each. 



Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Very free-flowering 

 climbing form of this most popular white Rose. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each 



Climbing Los Angeles. A counterpart of that most popular 

 bedding Rose, Los Angeles but of strong climbing habit. $2 each. 



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 

 ten 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.
