 hardy Climbing Rose in cultivation. Grows in almost any 

 soil or situation. Free from insect attacks, beautiful, 

 heavy, waxy foliage. Continues in bloom for quite a 

 protracted period; free from mildew; in short, the type 

 of Rose that may be planted and forgotten. The beautiful 

 yellow flowers are unusually full and double, and produced 

 sometimes singly and sometimes in clusters with utmost 

 freedom. All plants grown on own roots.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 



PauPs Scarlet Climber 



Illustrated in natural color on inside Front Cover. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber — Vivid scarlet shaded 

 slightly crimson, but almost a flaming scarlet, a 

 most pleasing and striking color. Makes a brilliant 

 display for a long time in the garden. The petals 

 do not fade like many climbing Roses, but retain 

 their bright color, and remain in bloom for from 

 two to four weeks. The Rose received the gold 

 medal and cup for the best Climbing Rose at the 

 National Rose Society's exhibit. 



At the Rose Society's Test Garden at Arling- 

 ton, D. C, conducted by and in conjunction with 

 the Agriculture Department at Washington where 

 the American Rose Society held their annual meet- 

 ing last spring the most prominent and attracted 

 more attention than any other was Paul's Scarlet 

 Climber. Two specimens trained to trellises made 

 a wonderful show, while two that had been kept 

 pruned as a bush Rose were magnificent specimens, 

 covered with their bright handsome full double 

 blooms. At that time they had been in bloom some 

 two weeks and were still the bright color while many 

 more buds had not opened. 



President S. S. Pennock, Society of American 

 Florists, reports from the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, 

 where he was one of the judges at the Rose gardens 

 which is as follows: 



"In the climbers Paul's Scarlet Climber stood 

 out in the garden by far the best among the climbers 

 and they said that it had been in bloom for over 

 two weeks, was still in fine shape and attracted 

 the public probably more than any other one 

 rose in the garden. There were several plants of 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, and one group of four plants, 

 trained up in pyramid shape, made a wonderful show. 

 This is rather an attractive way to train Climbers, 

 especially where they are as free bloomers as Paul's 

 Scarlet Climber, which presented almost a solid, 

 vivid red mass." 



A good strong grower and soon makes a good 

 display. Foliage good and free from mildew and 

 diseases, as well as insects. 



These sterling qualities will soon win for it a 

 reputation far beyond that enjoyed at one time by 

 the old Crimson Rambler. After done blooming 

 its bright foliage will make it a most desirable rose.

*VEILCHEN BLAU, or Violet Blue— The Blue 

 Rose is one of the most rampant growers we have 

 ever seen, covering a large porch in a single 

 season. The flowers are borne in loose clusters 

 and are a delightful shade of blue — something 

 entirely different from any Rose now in culti- 

 vation.
