Hardy Climbing Roses. 



CRiriSON RAHBLER- 



Another season's trial proves this to be the greatest 

 acquisition in a climbing rose intro- 

 duced for many years. 



It is of vigorous growth, making shoots from 8 

 to 10 feet in height during a season, and is con- 

 sequently a most desirable climbing variety; 

 when pegged down or grown as a bush, marvel- 

 lous heads of bloom are the result. It is exceed- 

 ingly hardy. As a pot-plant it is unequalled for 

 decorative purposes. The Mowers with which 

 the plant is covered in the spring are produced 

 in large trusses of pyramidal form and of the 

 brightest crimson color. The blooms re- 

 main 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 al- 

 most an evergreen. It is extremely hardy, 

 having withstood the test in exposed situ- 

 ations of two very severe winters.
