HARDY CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES 



There have appeared in recent years so many remarkably fine Climbing Roses, one is 

 confused and bewildered in attempting to properly describe them or to give them due credit. 

 We recommend every variety ofTered except Veilchenblau with confidence that all who plant 

 them will be pleased when they flower. All are large, strong plants. 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— In a class by itsel^ 

 and very valuable. So fine in habit and foliage 

 it is well worth growing as a climber for cov- 

 ering summer houses, etc. — yet its wealth of 



bloom is truly wonderful. Correctly described 

 as "a single flowering rose with blossoms three 

 inches across, borne in immense clusters. Col- 

 or, lovely apple blossom pink with bright 

 golden stamens; followed in autumn with red 

 hips.'* It exceeds in strong growth even the 

 Crimson Rambler and Dorothy Perkins — in 

 fact, all other varieties. (See cut.) 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT.— Of strong grow- 

 ing habit With large dark green foliage, im- 

 tnun^ to disease. The double flowers are very 

 large, of perfect form, bright rosy pink in 

 color and beautiful in bud and when full 

 blown. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.— A 



very valuable American rose descended from 

 American Beauty, Wichuraiana and a tea rose. 



It is of vigorous habit and the flowers are of 

 the same color and fragrance as the popular 

 variety whose name it bears, though they are 

 not so large. It is a wonderfully free bloomer 

 under favorable conditions. See illustration 

 made from a photograph taken upon the 

 grounds of Mrs. I. B. Hosford near Red Bank,

CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— 



A continuous blooming rose. Its large well- 

 formed flowers are borne in loose clusters, 

 are perfectly double and are French white 

 with a distinct center of silvery rose. Blooms 

 all summer. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a pro- 

 fusion of large clusters of deep crimson semi- 

 double flowers. A splendid variety for cov- 

 ering walls, verandas, pillars, etc., being so 

 vigorous in growth as to make shoots of from 

 eight to ten feet during the season; or it may 

 be pegged down or grown in bush form with 

 rich and striking effect. Foliage subject to 

 mildew, 



DR. W. VAN FLEET.— Produced by Dr. 

 Van Fleet and the finest pink climbing rose so 

 far introduced. The superb flowers are pro- 

 duced on long stems and equal in size and 

 beauty fine roses grown under glass. A strong 

 grower with abundant, beautiful foliage and is 

 extremely hardy. Flowers when open run 

 four inches and over in diameter. The center 

 is built high, petals beautifully undulated and 

 cupped. The color is a delicate pink on the 

 surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. 

 The flowers are full and double, delicately per- 

 fumed; buds pointed. (See cut.) 



HIAWATHA. — A strong growing variety 

 with single flowers and abundant clean fol- 

 iage. An authority on roses in speaking of it 

 says: "There is no other rose so brilliant as 

 Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. 

 Its flowers are about 1% inches across and are 

 produced in long pendulous sprays, frequently 

 with from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In 

 color it is a brilliant ruby carmine with a clear 

 white eye and a mass of golden stamens." 



MRS. LOVETT.— A double, bright pink, 

 sweet-scented form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It 

 retains all the excellent properties of its par- 

 ent and in addition has double flowers — two to 

 two and one-half inches in diameter — that are 

 of the most cheerful bright rosy pink imagin- 

 able. In every other respect it is a true Wich- 

 uraiana.
