Climbing American Beauty Rose 



HARDY CLIMBING AND 

 RAMBLER ROSES 



We offer on this page a selection of the best standard varieties of Hardy 

 Climbing and Rambler Roses, which with the splendid new sorts offered 

 on page 135 makes our collection of these very completer 



Alida Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light yellow shadings at base 

 of petals, flowers of good size and quality. A most desirable climber. 



American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. The 

 flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink 

 with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers 

 are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a 

 sight not easily forgotten. 



Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American Beauty, in shape of 

 flower, but is brighter in color, a clear bright red, of good size and of 

 double full-cupped form lasting a long time in good condition; a strong 

 vigorous grower and very fragrant. 



Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, of strong climbing habit. 

 The flowers are doable, from 3| to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly 

 and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully 

 expanded flower; color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 



Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat misleading, 

 but it is one of the best climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous 

 grower, frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, and good 

 sized flowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so freely; color rich rosy 

 crimson, of splendid form and good substance. 



Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large 

 clusters, very fragrant and lasting, a grand Rose in every way. 



Dr. Robert Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of flower to 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, but of an intense dark crimson color, and when 

 fully expanded shows its numerous golden stamens, making a beautiful 

 color combination. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of its dainty color and 

 exquisitely shaped buds and flowers, has become a great favorite. 

 The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 inches 

 long; splendid for cutting. A strong vigorous grower. 



Ezcelsa. This has superseded the Old Crimson Rambler, it is 

 vigorous in growth with healthy dark glossy green foliage. 

 The flowers are very double, produced in large trusses. The 

 color is intense crimson maroon, the tips of the petals tinged 

 with scarlet. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of 

 cream color; incurving towards evening to the shape and 

 color of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 



Hiawatha. A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear 

 white eye and a mass of golden stamens — a glowing com- 

 bination of colors. 



Mary Lovett. Large well-formed flowers of pure waxy white, 

 sweetly scented. 



Mary Wallace. Well formed, semi-double flowers of a bright 

 clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals, flowers large, 

 generally exceeding four inches in diameter, very free flowering. 



Papa Gouchault. A pure crimson-red holding its color under 

 all weather conditions and exceptionally hardy. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. No other climbing Rose can com- 

 pare with this for brilliancy cf color which is maintained until 

 the petals fall, The flowers, a vivid scarlet, are of good size, 

 semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 



flowers each on much branched canes, the plants being literally 

 covered from top to bottom with bloom. It is of strong climb- 

 ing habit and perfectly hardy. This is one of the most popular 

 climbing Roses. 



Roserie (Red Tausendschoen). Of the same habit of growth and 

 flowering as Tausendschoen, but of a deeper and more even 

 shade of cerise-pink, or carmine. 



Silver Moon. Different from all other Roses, with beautiful 

 semi-double flowers four and a half inches and over in diameter; 

 pure white in color, petals of great substance, beautifully 

 cupped, forming a Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of 

 yellow stamens in the centre adds to its attractiveness. 



Tausendschoen. A popular variety with large flowers with 

 wavy azalea-like petals. In color it is a most delicate shade of 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to carmine on the reverse 

 of petals when fully expanded. 



Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose). Pretty, fragrant single pure 

 white flowers with yellow stamens followed in fall by bright red 

 hips or berries, a good Climbing Rose where no great height is 

 required, especially valuable where a trailing plant is desired, 

 forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.
