Climbing meteor 



ASIDE from Climbing Wootton, we have no 

 red climbing Rose of any class to corn- 

 are with this superb new variety. It has been called 

 the il Perpetual-blooming Jacqueminot" because of 

 s freedom of bloom and its exquisitely shaped buds 

 flowers which resemble that famous variety. (Xirnb- 

 Meteor is a sport from Meteor, a free-blooming 

 Tea Rose, famous for its magnificent flowers. It 

 has the true climbing habit, attaining the height of ioto 

 15 feet in a single season. It is a free persistent 

 bloomer, producing in great profusion, through- 

 out the growing season, magnificently formed 

 buds and flowers, which in color are dark velvety 

 crimson, the equal of any Rose in 

 cultivation, and. if anything, more 

 glowing than its illustrious parent. 

 It is hardy with protection, and 

 wherever grown will give absolute 

 satisfaction.

Beautiful New Hardy Ever-Blooming Climbing Rose 



Gaittesborougb 



After thorough trial we are glad to endorse the description of 

 the introducers of this new variety. It will rank up among the great 

 Climbing Roses such as Mrs. Robert Peary, Climbing Woot- 

 ton, Keystone, Climbing- Meteor and similar free 1. looming, 

 hardy varieties. It is in every sense a hardy ever-blooming climb- 

 er. It is an offspring of that great Hybrid Tea Rose Viscountess 

 Folkestone, and is the counterpart of its parent, both in foliage 

 and flower. The delicate colors are hard to describe, being deli- 

 cately tinged flesh, almost white and lustrous as satin. When in full j 

 bloom it resembles a large, fine white Paeony, but without a sug- 

 gestion of stiffness, often measuring 8 to 9 inches in diameter. An 

 enthusiastic admirer compared the flower to a beautiful girl wearing 

 a white Gainesborough hat ornamented with white ostrich pinnies. 

 hence the name. This variety will prove hardy in almost all sections 

 with ordinary protection. As one of the erreat new Climbing Roses 

 be sure to give it a trial. Strong plants, 20 cts. each: .'! for •"><> cts.: 

 7 for $1: postpaid. Two-year-old plants. 36 cts. each: :} for $1;
