HARDY CLIMBING 
AND 
RAMBLER 
ROSES 
( Continued) 
EXCELSA 
A distinct variety 
in form, color and 
habit; vigorous in growth, with healthy dark glossy 
green foliage. The flowers are very double, pro- 
duced in large trusses, and almost every eye on a shoot pro- 
duces clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson 
maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 
HIAWATHA 
There is no other climbing Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. A bril- 
liant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden 
stamens—a glowing combination of colors, which can be seen at a great dis- 
tance. 
LADY GAY 
A most desirable variety of remarkable vigorous growth, with flowers of 2 
delicate cerise-pink, passing to soft-tinted pink. The effect of a plant in full 
bloom and the deep green of the foliage is, indeed charming. 
SILVER 
MOON 
Different from _ all 
other Roses, with beau- 
tiful semi-double flow- 
ers four and a half inches and over in diame- 
ter; pure white in color, petals of great sub- 
stance, beautifully cupped, forming a Clematis- 
like flower. The large bunch of yellow stamens 
in the centre adds to its attractiveness. 
RamBLerR Rose 
DorotHy Perkins TAUSENDSCHOEN 
(Offered on page 163) 
Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but 
in climbing Roses generally. The individual 
flowers are of a most elegant and graceful form, not stiff or unnatural, 
but as beautiful as a semi-double Azalea. In color it is a most delicate 
shade of soft pink when first opening, changing to carmine on the re- 
verse of petals when fully expanded. These are produced in trusses, 
each truss a veritable bouquet. 
WHITE DOROTHY 
Among Rambler Roses none has justly gained greater popularity than 
the beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins. The White Dorothy is a duplicate 
except in color.
