Bloom of Climbing Killarney 



Mrs. Robert Peary 



THE GREAT WHITE, HARDY, EVERBLOOMING 



CLIMBING ROSE 



Introduced by The Dingee & Conard Co. 



A strong and rapid grower, coming to perfection in 

 the open ground. It is as hardy as any hybrid per- 

 petual or Moss Rose and will withstand the most severe 

 winters unprotected. Small plants of Mrs. Robert 

 Peary will bloom continuously throughout the season 

 and the flowers are magnificent beyond description. 

 The buds are long and pointed, finely modeled and 

 gracefully finished, while the fragrance is indeed deli- 

 cious. The flowers, when open, are of splendid 

 substance, extra large, deep and double, produced on 

 long, stiff stems, like those of a forcing Rose. 



CLIMBING MAD. JULES GROLEZ. A climbing form 

 of one of the finest of the new Hybrid Tea Roses — 

 Mad. Jules Grolez, a Rose described as a red Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria. The bush is remarkably thrifty. 



LADY GODIVA. A magnificent white sport from 

 Dorothy Perkins, with flowers growing in splendid 

 clusters and of remarkably vigorous growth and 

 handsome foliage. Dark green foliage and freefrom 

 ravages of insects or disease. 



Hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Roses on this and the next page are noted 

 for the exquisite beauty of their flowers, rivalling, 

 as they do, those of the Hybrid Tea Class. They 

 are all wonderfully strong and growing, hardy and 

 vigorous, and in constant bloom all summer. In 

 the middle sections of the country and in the 

 Northwest they thrive and bloom most luxuriantly, 

 while in the warmer sections they fairly run riot in 

 their glory of growth and bloom. Even in the 

 coldest northern states they grow to perfection, but 

 will require protection in winter. 



Climbing Killarney 



Three years ago we offered for the first time a 

 climbing type of the famous pink Rose, Killarney, 

 the most celebrated Hybrid Tea of its color yet 

 introduced. Repeated trials both in our grounds 

 and by our friends who purchased this marvelous 

 Rose, and who have written very enthusiastic letters 

 about it, confirm the statements we made in regard 

 to it. The beautiful flowers of this wonderful Rose 

 are identical with the parent variety, but the bush 

 is of the climbing habit of growth, placing it at once 

 in a class by itself, because there is no other climb- 

 ing variety of its color. It is .a strong, rapid grower, 

 growing to perfection in the open ground, throwing 

 up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in a single season, and 

 is entirely hardy. It blooms continuously through- 

 out the season, and the flowers are magnificent 

 beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds 

 with massive petals, opening into flowers of enor- 

 mous size; color deep pink, bright and sparkling, 

 an exquisite shade, deliciously fragrant; in fact, one 

 of the greatest new Roses we ever offered. Our 

 stock is limited, and orders will be filled in strict 

 rotation. Early orders are therefore advisable, even 

 if you do not wish to plant at once. We will carefully 

 set aside the plants, delivering them at any time desired.* 

 CLIMBING WOOTTON. A strong and rampant 

 climber, growing in one season to a height of 10 to 

 15 feet, with large and heavy insect-proof foliage, it 

 produces superbly formed flowers in wonderful pro- 

 ■ fusion. They are bright and magenta-red, passing 



to violet-crimson, richly shaded. 

 CLIMBING LA FRANCE. A sport from La France with 

 a climbing habit of growth. A strong, rapid grower, 

 producing large, delicate, silvery pink flowers in 

 great abundance. 



NEW CLIMBING CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER. This 



new, magnificent, hardy climbing Rose combines 

 the wonderful everblooming qualities of the famous 

 Crimson Baby Rambler Rose with a climbing habit 

 which makes it one of the best of all Roses for porch 

 or pergola adornment. The flowers are brilliant 

 crimson and are borne in large clusters, all summer 

 through, creating at all times a most beautiful effect. 

 The plant is extra strong in growth, absolutely 

 hardy and clothed with handsome foliage, which is 

 not subject to attacks of insects or disease.
