Climbing Roses 



CLIMBING ROSES, Continued 



Prosperity. Many globular pinkish-white buds turn to clusters of big white 

 Roses on this most everblooming of cUmbing sorts. Each 75c, doz. $7.50. 



Roserie. A great improvement on the popular old sort, Tausendschoen, with 

 loose clusters of rich deep pink flowers. Practically thornless. 



Silver Moon. Most popular white climber yet introduced, with big buds of 

 Naples yellow turning to gigantic single flowers, saucer-shaped, moon-white 

 in color and centered brilliant yellow. These flowers, resembling large flow- 

 ered Clematis, are borne in sprays on long stems, with lasting, delightful 

 fragrance. Ideal for covering an otherwise unsightly fence. 



Spanish Beauty (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). This erect climber bears an 

 overwhelming abundance of long-pointed crimson buds from three to five 

 on a stem, opening one after the other to huge iridescent blooms of delicate 

 pearl pink, splashed with carmine, and bearing delightful perfume. These 

 floral gems are followed by seed pods as large as small pears, and very 

 decorative. Each 75c, doz. $7.50. 



Violette. Big clusters of deep violet flowers — an amazing color among climbing 

 Roses. 



Wichuraiana Rose (The Memorial Rose of Japan). An invaluable trailer, 

 with many big clusters of pure white flowers. As each branch lies flat, it is 

 ideal for covering banks with a dense mat of shining semi-evergreen foliage. 

 Each 50c, doz. $5.00, 100 $35.00. 



Price (except as noted) strong, 2-year, field-grown plants, each 65c, 

 doz. $6.50, 100 $45.00. 



•LOVETT SISTERS" CLIMBING ROSES 



Among Rose hybridizers, few have to their credit a greater number of 

 worthwhile creations than the late Dr. Van Fleet. All the Van Fleet hybrids 

 are particularly valuable in having deep glossy mildew-proof foliage. In addition, 

 the flowers are larger, of better substance, and more artistic in form than those 

 of most other climbing Roses. We count the three Van Fleet Hybrids, offered 

 on this page, among the really triumphant achievements of Dr. Van Fleet's life. 

 Alida Lovett. In habit it is quite like the popular Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, 

 but with larger and more beautiful mildew-proof foliage, while the color of 

 the flower is brighter. Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, and 

 held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long; and the color is a lively 

 bright shell-pink with shadings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — ^a 

 combination that is both novel and beautiful. The plant is of strong growth, 

 a free bloomer, and of iron-clad hardihood; flowering for a long season. It is 

 also quite fragrant. 



Bess Lovett. Is of strong growth, with large glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, 

 and, what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the flowers Eu-e exquisitely 

 fragrant. Flowers are lavishly produced; are of good size, double, full and 

 cupped form, being similar in make-up to the Climbing American Beauty, 

 but very much brighter red in color and more fragrant by far. The roses, 

 which are very lasting, are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on 

 long stems. 



Mary Lovett. It is very much like the beautiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, 

 excepting that the large full flowers are pure snow-white. They are held on 

 long, strong stems and are delightfully sweet-scented. It blooms in late 

 Summer and Autumn, as well as in June. It is a strong grower, with abundant 

 mildew-proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flowering. The finest and most 

 valuable climbing white rose as yet offered. 

 Any of these "Lovett Sisters" Roses, strong, 2-year, field-grown plants, 

 each 75c, doz. $7.50. 

 One each of the three sorts for only $1.95. 



NEWER PATENTED CLIMBING ROSES

 worthy of a patent. Each sort is different from any previously introduced and
