‘Moss Rose 
FOUR FINE CLIMBING 
HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
While not as a rule as free-flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea 
Roses, these climbing ferms produce a large crop of beautiful flowers in June, 
with a liberal 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 climb- 
ing form of this most popular white Rose; very free. 
Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climb- 
ing Hybrid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed 
part of our Nursery, with very little protection, has with- 
stood the past six winters with only the longest branches 
cut by frost, producing not only an immense crop of its 
very large soft rose-colored flowers in June, but continu- 
ing to bloom almost without intermission until the end 
of the season. A Royal Rose that cannot be recom- 
mended too highly. $1.25 each. 
Price. Any of the above, except where noted, in strong, 
two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. The 
set of 4 varieties for $3.50. 
TENDER CLIMBING, OR 
PILLAR ROSES 
These are not hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia, ex- 
cept in favored positions, or with protection; especially 
adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for 
outdoor culture in the South. 
Gloire de Dijon. An old favorite; flowers blush with 
salmon shadings; a fine climber for a sheltered wall. 
Marechal Neil. 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, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
One each of the 5 sorts for $3.00. 
MOSS ROSES 
The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy 
covering which surrounds the bud, and gives the opening flower 
a unique appearance, Moss Roses should be pruned sparingly; 
cut out the old wood and merely cut back the growth of last 
year. 
Blanche [oreau. Lovely large, pure white. 
Comtesse de Murinais. Large, white, beautifully mossea. 
Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 
Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 
Princess Adelaide. Bright silvery rose; large. 
Extra strong 2-year-old plants, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz- 
Set of 5 sorts, $2.50. 
HVBRID-TEA ROSES 
This class of Roses is now the most popular for Garden culture. 
They combine the free-flowering qualities of the tender Tea Roses 
with their exquisite fragrance plus higher grade blooms, and are 
almost as hardy as the Hybrid-Perpetual type. 
We offer a magnificent collection. (See pages 145 to 156.) 
And especially recommend the Dreer Dozen offered on page 
151 and the Peerless Collection offered on page 152.
