China Roses 



These are the Roses of our grandmother's 

 days, but on account ofltheir sterling c, 



I -ilar and are worthy of planting in 

 any garden. The range of color is considerable, 

 and their absolute hardiness, ease of culture, 

 fragrance and adaptability to adverse conditions 

 make them popular and valuable varieties. Price

 2-year plants, 25 cts. each.

Everblooming 

 Climbing Roses 



Climbing Clothilde Soupert. White. In 

 - etjr we have tl 



:pert combined with 



the same wonderful freedom of bloom and 

 extreme hardiness. This new variety, in a 

 single season, even in small plants, will grow IS 

 to 25 feet, producing cluster after cluster of the 

 finest-formed flowers. In form they are dis- 

 tinct, large, round and flat, with beautifully 

 imbricated petals; perfectly full and double, 

 and deliciously sweet. The color effect is 

 magnificent — ivory-white, shading toward the 

 center to silvery rose. Throughout the entire 

 growing season it is literally loaded down with 

 its large, handsome flowers. Price, strong mail- 

 ing size. 3-inch pots. 10 cts.; heavy 2-year plants,

< limbing Crimson Baby Rambler. A 



magnificent hardy, everblooming Rose. This 

 variety, introduced only recently, combines the 

 wonderful everblooming qualities of the Crim- 

 son Baby Rambler with the climbing habit of 

 the true Crimson ■ Rambler. This makes it 

 invaluable for use wherever a climbing Rose 

 may be employed. Planted with taller-growing 

 kinds, it prolongs their blooming season and 

 removes their bareness of foliage near the ground. 

 The flowers, of brilliant crimson, are borne in 

 clusters throughout the summer; the foliage is 

 glossy and thick, resisting the attacks of insect 

 enemies. My stock of this great variety is 

 limited. Price, mailing size plants. 15 cts.;

si2e, pure white, sweet, perfectly 

 double to the center, and borne in endless numbers 

 in large clusters all summer. Vigorous and 

 rapid grower. One plant of Mary Washington 

 will produce more flowers and buds than a 

 dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged 

 with the old-fashioned musky flavor so much 

 admired in olden times. My stock is propagated 

 direct from the old plant at Mount Vernon. 

 which is famous as having been planted by 

 George Washington and named in honor of his 

 mother. It is still a strong, vigorous bush, 

 blooming profusely and demonstrating that the 

 soil and climate of Fairfax are especially adapted 

 to Rose-growing. Price, strong mailing size,

Mrs. Robert Peary. (Climbing Kaiserin). 

 White. This is. without doubt, the grandest of 

 all white climbing Roses. It is the first and only 

 white hardy, everblooming climbing Rose, and, 

 as such, fills a demand that has never before 

 been supplied. Small plants bloom continually 

 the first season, just as the parent Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria, does. The flowers are extra 

 large, full, deep and double, and are produced on 

 long, stiff stems like a forcing or cut-flower Rose. 

 The buds are long and pointed, exquisitely 

 modeled and gracefully finished. Both in bud 

 and flower it is truly beautiful. Always a 

 wonderfully vigorous grower and very hardy

Rambler Roses 



While these do not bloom continuously, they 

 are covered during their blooming season with 

 a wealth of flowers of various shades. The sight 

 of a large Rambler Rose in full bloom is one long 

 to be remembered — a wealth of color shown by 

 no other class of plant.

 varieties it makes a striking effect. Price, 10

Blue Rose ("Veilchenblau.") This violet- 

 blue seedling from the Crimson Rambler was the 

 sensation of Rosedom a few years ago. The

 shade that makes it a striking novelty. Price.
