Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 



#T* 



Albertine. Nicely shaped vermilion buds expanding to moder- 

 ately double, perfect shaped flowers of a pleasing cameo-pink 

 with silvery salmon suffusion, sweetly scented; foliage rich deep, 

 glossy green. $1.00 each. 

 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 

 stamens. 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 form, strong and very fragrant. 



Bonfire. One of the freest flowering, of Dorothy 

 Perkins type but with great trusses of cherry 

 crimson flowers, an early bloomer. The best of 

 ill the red ramblers. Superior to Crimson 

 Rambler and Excelsa. 



Climbing American Beauty. Its name is 

 somewhat misleading, but it is one of the best 

 climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous grower, 

 frequently ma.king shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, 

 and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that 

 blooms so freely; color deep rose pink, 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. 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. 



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. 



Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing Rose. The 

 buds are long and pointed, of splendid shape; in 

 color a beautiful light orange-yellow, changing to 

 pale orange as they expand; they are borne on 

 stiff stems of sufficient length for cutting, these 

 stems are of a crimson-red color which together 

 with the unusually dark green, glossy holly-like 

 foliage, adds a charm to the flowers. Requires 

 protection north of Philadelphia. 



Ernestine Cosme. A unique single 

 flowered variety of pretty form and of 

 a delicate soft pink which are pro- 

 duced in great pyramidal-shaped, 

 many flowered sprays, in greatest pro- 

 fusion; a vigorous healthy grower. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, open- 

 ing to double flowers of cream color; 

 incurving towards evening to the 

 shape and color of a Cape Jessamine, 

 hence its name. 



Jacotte. Color deep coppery yellow 

 tinted coral red; flowers fully 2\ inches 

 in diameter, delightfully scented; rich 

 dark green glossy disease-resisting 

 foliage, entirely distinct from all 

 others and rapidly becoming a uni- 

 versal favorite. $1.00 each. 



Marie Gouchault. Identical with 

 Dorothy Perkins, excepting in color, 

 which is a clear geranium-pink without 

 magenta shadings. Very free and 

 early. 



New Hardy Climbing Rose, Primrose 



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. 

 Mme . Jenny. A very strong growing climber with large, healthy 

 disease-resisting foliage with flowers two inches and over in 

 diameter borne in clusters of from 5 to 7 flowers each; these are 

 cup-shaped, quite full, of a delicate satiny rose color with a 

 delightful fragrance. Blooms late in June. 



Paul's Lemon Pillar. A very beautiful and entirely 



distinct showy large double, sulphur-yellow, perfectly 



formed flower, that has proven hardy in this latitude. 



Fine as a pillar Rose. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most popular of all 



climbing Roses. Unequaled in brilliancy by any 



other variety, these are of a vivid scarlet, of large 



size and are produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 



flowers on long, strong stems. 



Phyllis Bide (Exerbloomint, Climber). The 



feature of this variety is that it blooms 



intermittently throughout the summer and 



fall and while the dainty flowers are of 



small size they are of exquisite form in bud 



opening with gracefully reflexed petals and 



are produced in long loose sprays; in color a 



pale gold at base, flushed and shaded pretty 



rosy-carmine towards the edges. 



Silver Moon. Different from all other 



Roses, with beautiful fragrant semi-double 



flowers four and a half inches and over in 



diameter; creamy white in color, petals of 



great substance, beautifully cupped. 



Solarium. In single flowering climbers this 



is a gem. It is of the same type as Hiawatha 



on which it is a decided improvement, the 



flowers being larger, more freely produced and 



of more brilliant coloring, an intensely rich 



crimson-scarlet. 



Star of Persia. A brilliant Rose 

 with flowers on the order of the 

 lovely old Harison's Yellow, semi- 

 double, bright yellow, and about 



. 3 inches across. A striking variety, 

 bursting into showers of sparkling 

 bloom in June. It does not fade 

 and the flower trusses last several 

 weeks. 



Tausendschoen. A popular vari- 

 ety with large flowers with 

 wavy azalea-like petals. In colot 

 it is a most delicate shade of soft 

 pink when first opening, changing 

 carmine on the reverse of petals 

 when fully expanded. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective very 

 bright fiery-red with white eye in the way 

 of American Pillar, single and semi-double, 

 produced in large clusters, handsome 

 foliage, particularly attractive as a 

 pillar Rose. 



Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose). Pretty, 

 fragrant single pure white flowers with 

 yellow stamens followed in fall by bright 

 red hips or berries, a good climbing Rose 

 where no great height is required, espe- 

 cially valuable where a trailing plant is 

 desired, forming a dense mat of almost 

 evergreen foliage. ,
