Climbing and Trailing Roses 



DOROTHY PERKINS ROSE 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— In a class by itself and 

 very valuable. So fine in habit and foliage it is 

 well worth growing as a climber for covering 

 summer houses, etc. — ^yet its wealth of bloom is 

 truly wonderful. Correctly descril^ed as "a single 

 flowering rose with blossoms three inches across 

 borne in immense clusters. Color, lovely apple 

 blossom pink with bright golden stamens; fol- 

 lowed in autumn with red hips," 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— A very 

 hardy Rose of climbing habit with clean, healthy, 

 handsome foliage.- Its clusters of well-formed, 

 perfectly double roses are French white with a 

 distinct center of silvery rose and are produced 

 the whole summer. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a profusion 

 of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double flow- 

 ers. A splendid variety for covering walls, ve- 

 randas. piHars, etc.. being so vigorous in growth 

 as to make shoots of from eight to ten feet dur- 

 ing the season; or it may be pegged down or 

 grown in bush form with rich and striking effect. 

 Foliage subject to mildew. 



DOROTHY PERKINS.— A charming and very 

 valuable Rose of American origin, producing clear, 

 shell pink, double Roses in clusters that are very 

 lasting. It is a strong grower, very hardy and a 

 marvelously profuse bloomer. Being superior to 

 the Pink Rambler and of the same color, I have 

 discarded the last named variety. 



FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD.— An innovation of 

 very great value, being a perpetual blooming 

 Crimson Rambler. 



HIAWATHA. — A strong growing variety with 

 lovely single flowers. An authority on roses says 

 of it: "There is no other rose so brilliant as 

 Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its 

 flowers are about 1% inches across and produced 

 in long pendulous sprays, with frequently 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."

 and Souv. de Pres. Carnot, produced by Dr. Van 

 Fleet, and is the finest Rose by far of all the 

 hardy climbers so far introduced In fact, the 

 superb flowers are produced on long stems and 

 equal in size and beauty fine roses grown under 

 glass. A strong grower with abundant, beautiful 

 foliage and 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 remarkably delicate shade 

 of flesh pink on the surface, deepening to rosy 

 flesh in the center. The flowers are full and 

 double, delicately perfumed; buds pointed. (See 

 cut.) Strong, two years, each. 50c.: dozen, $5.00. 

 From 5-inch pots. each. 65c.: dozen, $6.50. 



LADY GAY. — A rambler rose of American 

 origin and a most profuse bloomer, in large loose 

 clusters. Its color is soft cherry-pink, changing 

 to blush white. A large plant in flower with its 

 cherry-pink buds, soft white flowers and rich 

 green foliage presents a picture beyond words to 

 describe, 



MRS. LOVETT. — A double, bright pink, sweet- 

 scented form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all 

 the excellent properties of its parent and in ad- 

 dition has double flowers — two to two and one- 

 half inches in diameter — and are of the most 

 cheerful, bright rosy-pink imaginable. In every 

 other respect it is a true Wichuraiana. 



PHILADELPHIA.— A seedling of and an im- 

 provement upon the glorious Crimson Rambler. It 

 is not so strong a grower, but blooms about two 

 weeks earlier, while the flowers and clusters are 

 larger and of a brighter crimson, 



RUBY QUEEN.— Of the same parentage as 

 ^lay Queen and much like it except in color of 

 flowers, which are rich red with white center. 

 Large, double and fragrant. 



*SILVER MOON. — An unique rose and a mightily 

 interesting one. A hybrid of the Cherokee Rose
