Hardy Climbing and 
Rambler Roses 
Alida Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light yellow shadings at base 
of petals, flowers of good size and quality. A most desirable climber. 
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. 
Aviateur Bleriot. Pretty, medium-sized, double flowers of a light 
saffron-yellow. 
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 full-cupped 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. 
Christine Wright. A most exquisite Rose, of strong climbing habit. 
The flowers are double, from 3\ to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly 
and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in the fully 
expanded flower; color a most refreshing bright wild-rose pink. 
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 nowers for a climbing Rose that blooms so freely; color rich rosy 
crimson, of splendid form and good substance. 
Crimson Rambler. Large clusters of crimson flowers, the first intro- 
duction of this type. 
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. 
Climbing American Beauty Rose 
Ernestine Cosme. A unique single flowered variety of pretty 
form and of a delicate soft pink which are produced in great 
pyramidal-shaped, many flowered sprays, in greatest profusion; 
a vigorous healthy grower. 
Excelsa. An intense crimson-maroon with tips of petals tinged 
with scarlet, an improvement on the old Crimson Rambler. 
Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of 
cream color; incurving towards evening to the shape and color 
of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 
Hiawatha. A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear white 
eye and a mass of golden stamens. 
Marie Gouchault. Identical with Dorothy Perkins, excepting 
in color, which is a clear geranium-pink without magenta 
shadings. Very free and early. 
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. 
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 
large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly formed flower, that has 
proven hardy in this latitude during the past two seasons. Fine 
as a pillar rose. 
Roserie {Red Tausendschoen). Of the same habit of growth and 
flowering as Tausendschoen, but of a deeper and more even 
shade of cerise-pink, or carmine. 
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 improve- 
ment, the flowers being larger, more freely produced and of 
more brilliant coloring, an intensely rich crimson-scarlet. 
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 variety 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, especially valuable where a trailing plant is desired, 
forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.
