Five New Sterling Hardy Climbing Roses 



THE 



PRIMROSE 

 NEW HARDY YELLOW 

 RAMBLER 



In this variety we have what has long been sought after a real 

 hardy yellow rambler, a strong vigorous grower and hardy under 

 the same climatic conditions under which Dr. Van Fleet and similar 

 varieties will succeed. In color it is a glowing shade of light 

 primrose-yellow which color is maintained until the petals 

 drop. Its flowers, are generally borne in trusses of from 2 to 

 5 flowers, on long stems and are about 2| inches in diam- 

 eter. The plant is of vigorous climbing habit, free flower- 

 ing, mid-season and the flowers last in good condition for a 



long time, with healthy dark 

 green foliage. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 

 each; $11.00 per doz.

CHAPLIN'S PINK CLIMBER 



Unquestionably the most important acquisition in climbing 

 Roses since the introduction of Dr. Van Fleet and Paul's Scarlet 

 Climber, tmiversally recognized as the most popular climbing 

 Roses, and to which Chaphn's Pink Climber will prove an equally 

 valuable companion. 



This striking novelty originated in the same nursery in which 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber was raised. It is a cross between Paul's 

 Scarlet and American Pillar, of strong growth, perfectly hardy, 

 producing its large flowers, similar in 

 size and form to Paul's Scarlet, profusely 

 in strong trusses of from 8 to 12 flowers 

 each, but in color a rich lively pink. 



At the Spring Show of the National 

 Rose Society of England in 1928. it was 

 the. outstanding feature among the new 

 Roses and was awarded the Society's 

 Gold Medal. 



Strong two-year-old plants, SI. SO 

 each; S15.00 per doz. 



MME. GREGOIRE 

 STAECHELIN 



The first climbing Rose to 

 which a Gold Medal was 

 awarded at the International 

 Test Garden for Roses at 

 Bagatelle, Paris, France. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin 

 has inherited the best traits 

 of both of its popular parents, 

 Frau Karl Druschki and 

 Chateau de Clos Vougeot. 

 The plant is of strong climb- 

 ing habit growing 12 feet or 

 more high and has large dis- 

 ease resistant foliage. The 

 main stems grow vigorous- 

 ly upright and all along 

 these the following year, 

 side branches, 12 to 14^ 

 inches long wiU develop 

 with exquisite, full, very 

 fragrant flowers. 



At the tips, the long 

 pointed buds are crimson at 

 first as the sepals divide, 

 then the firm outer petals 

 show splashes of carmine as 

 the flower opens with an 

 iridescent pearl pink inside. 



A truly wonderful dis- 

 tinct Rose and probably 

 the pioneer of a new race. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 

 SI. 50 each; S15.00 per doz.

 Paul's Scarlet Climber which is
