HARDY CLIMBING AND 

 RAMBLER ROSES 



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, 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. 



Excelsa. This has superseded the Old Crimson Rambler, it is 

 vigorous in growth with healthy dark glossy green foliage. 

 The flowers are very double, produced in large trusses. The 

 color is intense crimson maroon, the tips of the petals tinged 

 with scarlet. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of 

 cream color; incurving towards evening to the shape and color 

 of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 



Rose, Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Rambler Rose, Silver Moon 



Hiawatha. A brilliant single, ruby carmine, with a clear white 

 eye and a mass of golden stamens — a glowing combination of 

 colors. 



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. 



Papa Gouchault. A pure crimson-red holding its color under 

 all weather conditions and exceptionally hardy. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. No other climbing Rose 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 from3to 20. 



Roserie (Red Tausendschoen). Of the same habit of growth and flowering as Tau- 

 sendschoen, but of a deeper and more even shade of cerise-pink, or carmine. 



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. A popular variety with large flowers with wavy azalea-like 

 petals. 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. 



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, especially valuable where a trailing plant is 

 desired, forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.
