Climbing American Beauty. Its name is somewhat misleading, 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 crim- 
son, of splendid form and good substance. (See cut.) 
Crimson Rambler. This was the first of the Rambler Roses, and was 
introduced from Japan in 1894. It is too well known to require descrip- 
tion. 
Dorothy Perkins. Soft shell-pink, flowering profusely in large clusters, 
ve-y fragrant and lasting, a grand Rose in every way, and one of the 
mos. popular varieties. 
‘Dr. Robert Huey. Similar in habit of growth and form of flower to 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber, but of an intense dark crimson color, and when 
fully expanded shows its numerous golden stamens, making a beautiful 
color combination.

on stems 12 to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. A strong 
vigorous grower. 
Excelsa. A distinct variety in form, color and habit; vigorous 
in growth with healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers 
are very double, produced in large trusses, and almost every eye 
on a shoot produces clusters of flowers. The color is intense 
crimson maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. 
Hiawatha. A brilliant, ruby carmine, with a clear white eye 
and a mass of golden stamens —a glowing combination of colors. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. No other Rose, in any class, can 
compare 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 climbing 
habit and perfectly hardy. This is one of the most popular 
climbing Roses.

Everyone is familiar with its large clusters of crimson flowers. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE 
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; a strong, vigorous grower and 
free bloomer. 
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 attractiveness. 
Tausendschoen. Entirely distinct, not only in Ramblers, but 
in climbing Roses generally. The individual flowers are of a 
most elegant and graceful form, not stiff or unnatural, but as 
beautiful as a semi-double Azalea. 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. These are produced 
in trusses, each truss a veritable bouquet. 
White Dorothy. Among Rambler Roses none has justly gained 
greater popularity than the beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins, 
offered on this page. The White Dorothy is a duplicate except 
in color.
