HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SELECT ROSES 



HARDY CUMBING 



AND 



RAMBLER 

 ROSES 



( Continued.) 



Hiawatha. There is 



no other climbing 



Rose so brilliant as 



Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its 



flowers are about \\ inches across, and produced in 



long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from 40 to 50 flowers 



on a spray. In color it is brilliant 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 distance. The 



plant IS of strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foliage, 



which is retained until late in fall. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Lady Qay. A most desirable variety of remarkable vigorous growth, 



with flowers of a delicate cerise- pink, passing to soft-tinted pink. The 



effect of a plant in full bloom, with the combination of the soft pink flowers, 



cherry-pink buds, and the deep green of the foliage, is indeed charming. 50 cts. 



each; $5.00 per doz. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar. The earliest of the climbing Roses to come into flower; 

 it coming into bloom two weeks before any other variety, and continuing for a long 

 time; the flowers are large and very showy, single and of perfect form, of a rich 

 rosy-carmine with white eye. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The flowers of this superb Rose are vivid scarlet, 

 shaded with bright crimson, and are produced in the greatest profusion in large 

 clusters of medium-sized semi-double blossoms. The rich color is retained with- 

 out burning or fading until the petals fall, the flowers remaining on the plants for 

 an unusual length of time, furnishing 

 a brilliant and magnificent display in 

 the garden; it is of strong climbing 

 habit and perfectly hardy. This Rose 

 has been most highly commended by 

 the English horticultural press. It 

 was awarded a Gold Medal by the 

 National Rose Society and an award 

 of Merit by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England. Strong plants, $3.00 each. 



Silver noon. Different from all other Roses; flowers very 

 large, four and a half inches and over in diameter; pure white 

 in color, petals of great substance, beautifully cupped, form- 

 ing a Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yellow 

 stamens in the centre adds to its attractiveness. These flowers 

 are borne on strong stems 12 to 18 inches long, and are deli- 

 cately scented. The plant is a strong grower, with large, 

 glossy bronzy-green foliage. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Tausendschoen. Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but 

 in climbing Roses generally. The individual flowers are very 

 large for this type of Rose, being fully 3 inches across and 

 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 delightful shade of soft pink when first opening, chang- 

 ing to carmine on the reverse of petals when fully expanded. 

 These are produced in trusses of from 10 to 15 flowers, each 

 truss a veritable bouquet. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



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 col- 



or. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. Cl.mb.ng Rose Silver Moon 



Price. Any of the Hardy Climbing Roses offered on this and the preceding page, except where noted, in strong two-year-ald 



plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35. 00 per 100.
