HARDY 



THE RAHBLER ROSES. 



In the race for popularity no Rose has ever 



made such a wonderful record as the Crimson Rambler, 



which has now been on the market lor 10 years, and 



is likely to remain at the head of the list of hardy 



climbing Roses. The other . Rambler varieties are 



described in some catalogues as counterparts of the 



crimson, except in color ; but they will not bear 



such close comparison, as their flowers lack the 



quality and finish of the crimson. They are 



entirely distinct, but excellent Roses, and deserve 



a place in every garden. 



Crimson Rambler. A vigorous grower, making 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. We heard 

 of several cases where upwards of 15,000 blossoms have been 

 produced by a single plant. This marvelous prodigality of 

 bloom is not unusual with it, as it succeeds everywhere. 

 As a pot plant it is unequalled for decorative purposes, 

 thousands of pots of it in bloom being sold at Easter. 

 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 almost 

 evergreen. It is perfectly hardy in all parts of the country.

 Fairy. In growth and habit it much resembles the Rambler. The flowers are 

 produced in clusters of from 8 to 35, and are 2 to 2J inches across when ex- 

 panded. The color is white suffused with salmon-rose, and pink with yellow 

 base to the petals.

 large trusses of nearly double yellow flowers of moderate 

 size ; fragrant.
