HARDY CLIMBING AND RAMBLER ROSES 



We offer on this page a selection of the best standard varieties of Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses, which with the splendid 

 new sorts offered on page 58 makes our collection of these very complete. 



Alida Lovett. Bright shell-pink with light yellow shadings at 

 base of petals, flowers of good size and quality. A most de- 

 sirable 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 sta- 

 mens. 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 fiill-cupped form lasting a long time in good 

 condition; a strong vigorous grower and very fragrant. 



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 mis- 

 leading, 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. Robert Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of 

 flower to Paul's Scarlet Cliinber, 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. 



Excelsa. This has superseded the old Crimson Rambler, it is vig- 

 orous in growth with healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flow- 

 ers are very double, produced in large trusses. The color is intense 

 crimson maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 



Hiawatha. A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear white 

 eye and a mass of golden stamens — a glowing combination of 

 colors. 



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. 



Papa Gouchault. A pure crimson-red holding its color under 

 all weather conditions and exceptionally hardy. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. No other climbing Rose can com- 

 pare with this for brilliancy of color which is maintained until 

 the petals fall. The flowers, a vivid scarlet, are of good size, 

 semi-double, very freely produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 

 flowers each on much branched canes, the plants being literally 

 covered from top to bottom with bloom. It is of strong climb- 

 ing habit and perfectly hardy. This is one of the most popular 

 climbing Roses. 



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. The large bunch of yellow 

 stamens in the centre adds to its attractivenesL. 



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.

CLIMBING HYBRID-TEA AND TENDER CLIMBING ROSES 



WhUe not as a rule as free flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of beautifxj 

 flowers in June, with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. The tender sorts are not hardy in the latitude of Phfladelphia, 

 except in favored positions, or with protection; especially adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for outdoor culture in 

 the South. 



Black Boy. An Australian introduction where it has become a 

 great favorite; a sweet scented large fiery scarlet overlaid with 

 blackish maroon. 



Climbing Caroline Testout. Combines all the good points 



\ of the popular pink bush Rose in cHmbing form. 



Climbing Hadley. Intense rich dazzling crimson-scarlet with 

 velvety shadings. 



Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Beautifully shaped buds of large 

 size, of a rich dazzling scarlet. 



Climbing H. V. Machin. A counterpart of the rich scarlet 

 bush variety, but of very strong climbing habit. 



Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A climbing form of 

 this popular white Rose. 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climbing Hy- 

 brid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 

 Nursery, with very little protection, has withstood many 

 winters, producing not only an immense crop of its very large 

 soft rose-colored flowers in June, but continuing to bloom 

 almost without intermission until the end of the season. 



Climbing Lady Hillingdon. Beautiful long well formed buds 

 of a luminous coppery shade of apricot-yellow. This is the most 

 tender in this collection. 



Climbing Los Angeles. A strong climbing form of the popular 

 Rose Los Angeles, producing equally beautiful sweet scented 

 flowers of a luminous flame-pink with golden coral suffusion. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, strong two-year 

 for $16.50. 



Climbing Mme. Edouard Herriot. A climbing form of the 



popular coral pink Daily Mail Rose. $1.50 each. 

 Climbing Miss Lolita Armour. Large coral-red with golden 



coppery suffusion. $1.50 each. 

 Climbing Mrs. Aaron Ward. A climbing form of this popular 



Indian-yellow variety. 

 Climbing Rose Marie. Climbing form of the attractive rose- 

 pink bedding variety. 

 Climbing Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. A very strong 



growing climbing form of this beautiful yellow, with flowers 



larger than in the bush form. 

 Gloire de Dijon. An old and still valuable favorite, flowers 



blush with salmon shadings. 

 Gwen Nash. One of the prettiest climbers we know, a large 



semi-double flower opening out quite flat and of a most beautiful 



soft shell pink, very free flowering. 

 Marechal Neil. Superb; bright golden-yellow. 

 Miss Marion Manifold. Also comes from Australia very 



highly recommended; a brilliant rich crimson, said to be the 



finest climbing Rose yet produced. 

 Paul's Lemon Pillar. Well formed, large, fragrant flowers 



of a pale sulphur-yellow. 

 Souvenir de Claudius Denoyal. Fine as a pillar Rose, a rich 



glistening crimson-red tinted with vermilion of enormous size 



of cupped shape, the long buds are of a brilliant velvety red.
