 Climbing Hybrid 

 Tea Roses 



The Roses on this page are noted for the exquisite 

 beauty of their flowers, rivaling, as they do, those 

 of the Hybrid Tea class. They are all wonderfully strong grow- 

 ing, hard}^ 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 wi 

 require some slight protection in winter. 



* Climbing Pink Killarney 



It blooms continuously throughout the season, and the flowers 

 are magnificent beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds 

 with massive petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; color 

 deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously fra- 

 grant; in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we have ever offered. 

 *CLIMBING WHITE KILLARNEY— An exact counterpart of 

 the bush Rose White Killarney, but a vigorous climber. Pro- 

 duces blooms of purest white of same formation, and on single 

 stems the same as the bush Rose. 

 CLIMBING MY MARYLAND— This is the climbing type of the 

 well-known HA^brid Tea Rose, "My Maryland," and has all the 

 desirable features of its parent, with a remarkable climbing 

 tendency, growing 10 to 15 feet in a single season. 

 Color bright salmon-pink with paler edges, beau- 

 tifully dark veined; delightfully fragrant, and the 

 finest blooms of any Rose we have yet seen. Price, 

 large two-year-old plants, $1.00 each, by express. 

 All grown on own roots, good, clean, healthy stock. 



Climbing 

 Gruss an Teplitz 



CLIMBING GRUSS AN TEPLITZ, or Virginia R. 

 Coxe — A valuable addition to this class of Roses 

 so rapidly coming into popularity on account of 

 their blooming qualities. This is an exact coun- 

 terpart of the bush Rose Gruss an Teplitz, but a 

 vigorous climber, attaining a height of 10 to 15 feet 

 in a single season. When it first blooms in the 

 spring it is a dazzling sheet of velvety crimson. 



*MRS. ROBERT PEARY— A strong and rapid 

 grower, coming to perfection in the open ground. 

 The buds are long and pointed, finely modeled 

 and gracefully finished, while the fragrance is in- 

 deed delicious. The flowers when open are of 

 splendid substance, extra large, deep and double, 

 produced on long, stiff stems. Color pure white. 



^CLIMBING METEOR— A sport from Meteor, 

 famous for its magnificent flowers. True climbing 

 habit, attaining a height of 10 to 15 feet in a single 

 season. Dark velvety crimson, the equal of any 

 Rose in cultivation. 



^CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT— It is most 

 vigorous, and the small plants will attain a height 

 of 15 to 25 feet in a single season, branching ex- 

 tensively. Produces cluster after cluster of the 

 most finely formed flowers, large, round, perfectly 

 double, with beautiful imbricated petals, the color 

 of which is delightful. The color is ivory-white, 

 shading toward the center to silvery-rose. 



^CLIMBING LADY ASHTOWN— Strong, rapid 

 grower, producing large, delicate, pink flowers in 

 abundance. 



^CLIMBING WOOTON— Superbly formed flowers 

 in wonderful profusion, of bright magenta-red, 

 passing to violet crimson, richly shaded, 



*NEW CLIMBING CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER 



— A hardy climbing Rose combining the ever- 

 blooming qualities of the famous Crimson Baby 

 Rambler Roses, with a climbing habit which makes 

 it one of the best of all Roses for porch or pergola 

 adornment.
