Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Albertine. Nicely shaped vermilion buds expanding to moder- 

 ately double, perfect shaped flowers of a pleasing cameo-pink 



with silvery suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage rich deep, glossy 



green. $1.00 each. 

 American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. 



The flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely 



shade of pink with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow 



stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches and a 



large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 

 Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American 



Beauty, in shape of flower, but is brighter in 



color, a clear bright red, of good size and of 



double form, strong and very fragrant. 

 Bonfire. One of the freest flowering, of Dorothy 



Perkins type but with great trusses of cherry 



crimson flowers, an early bloomer. The best of 



all of the red ramblers. 

 Climbing American Beauty. Its name is 



somewhat misleading, but it is one of the best 



climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous grower, 



frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, 



and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that 



blooms so freely; color rich rosy crimson, of 



splendid form and good substance. 

 Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering 



profusely in large clusters, very fragrant and 



lasting, a grand Rose in every way. 

 Dr. Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of 



flower to Paul's Scarlet Climber, but of an intense 



dark crimson color, and when fully expanded 



shows its numerous golden stamens, making a 



beautiful color combination. 

 Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of 



its dainty color and exquisitely shaped buds and 



flowers, has become a great favorite. The long 



pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 



to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. A strong 



vigorous grower. 

 Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing Rose. The 



buds are long and pointed, of splendid shape; in 



color a beautiful light orange-yellow, changing to 



pale orange as they expand; they are borne on 



stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting, these 



stems are of a crimson-red color which together 



with the unusually dark green, glossy holly-like 



foliage, adds a charm to the flowers. Requires 



protection north of Philadelphia. 



Ernestine Cosme. A unique single 

 flowered variety of pretty form and of 

 a delicate soft pink which are pro- 

 duced in great pyramidal-shaped, 

 many flowered sprays, in greatest pro- 

 fusion; a vigorous healthy grower. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, open- 

 ing double flowers of cream color; in- 

 curving towards evening to the shape 

 and color of a Cape Jessamine, hence 

 its name. 



Jacotte. Color shrimp-pink or light 

 salmon-orange shaded golden yellow 

 at base; flowers fully 2^ inches in 

 diameter, delightfully scented; rich 

 dark green glossy disease-resisting 

 foliage, entirely distinct from all 

 others and a color which will make it a 

 favorite, $1.50 each. 



Marie Gouchault. Identical with 

 Dorothy Perkins, excepting in color, 

 which is a clear geranium-pink without 

 magenta shadings. Very free and 

 early. New Hardy Climbing Rose, Primrose 



Mary Lovett. Large well-formed flowers of pure waxy 

 white, sweetly scented. 



Mary Wallace. Well formed, semi-double flowers of a bright 

 clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals, flowers large, 

 generally exceeding four inches in diameter, very free flowering. 



Mme. Jenny. A very strong growing climber with large, healthy 

 disease-resisting foliage with flowers two inches and over in 

 diameter borne in clusters of from 5 to 7 flowers each; these are 

 cup-shaped, quite full, of a delicate satiny rose color with a 

 delightful fragrance. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most popular of all 

 climbing Roses. Unequalled in brilliancy by any 

 other variety, these are of a vivid scarlet, of large 

 size and are produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 

 flowers on long, strong stems. 



Paul ' s Lemon Pillar . A very beautiful and entirely 

 distinct showy large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly 

 formed flower, that has proven hardy in this latitude. 

 Fine as a pillar Rose. 



Phyllis Bide (Everhlooming Climber). The 



feature of this variety is that it blooms 



intermittently throughout the summer and 



fall and while the dainty flowers are of 



small size they are of exquisite form in bud 



opening with gracefully reflexed petals and 



are produced in long loose sprays; in color a 



pale gold at base flushed and shaded pretty 



rosy-carmine towards the edges. 



Silver Moon. Different from all other 

 Roses, with beautiful semi-double flowers 

 four and a half inches and over in diameter; 

 pure white in color, petals of great substance, 

 beautifully cupped, forming a Clematis-like 

 flower. 



Solarium. In single flowering climbers this 

 is a gem. It is of the same type as Hiawatha 

 on which it is a decided improvement, the 

 flowers being larger, more freely produced and 

 of more brilliant coloring, an intensely rich 

 crimson-scarlet. 



Star of Persia. A brilliant Rose 

 with flowers on the order of the 

 lovely old Harison's Yellow, semi- 

 double, bright yeUow, and about 

 3 inches across. A striking variety, 

 bursting into showers of sparkling 

 bloom in June. It does not fade 

 and the flower trusses last several 

 weeks. 

 The Beacon. A distinct and 

 effective novelty, bright fiery- 

 red with white eye in the way of 

 American Pillar, single and semi- 

 double, produced in large clusters, 

 handsome foliage. 

 Tausendschoen. A popular vari- 

 ety with large flowers with 

 wavy azalea-like petals. In color it is a 

 most delicate shade of soft pink when first 

 opening, changing to carmine on the 

 reverse of petals when fully expanded. 

 Wichuraiana {Memorial Rose). Pretty, 

 fragrant single pure white flowers with 

 yellow stamens followed in fall by bright 

 red hips or berries, a good climbing Rose 

 where no great height is required, especi- 

 ally valuable where a trailing plant is 

 desired, forming a dense mat of almost 

 evergreen foliage.
