Hardy Climb 

 ing Roses. 



The following varieties are 

 highly valued for training over 

 arbors, trellises and verandas; 

 also as screens for unsightly ob- 

 jects, such as old buildings, 

 fences, walls, etc. They grow 10 

 to 12 feet high, and are entirely 

 hardy. They bloom the second- 

 year and but once in the season, 

 but are then loaded with splen- 

 did Roses, aud are among the

 The varieties described below 

 are the best, and succeed well in 

 all sections of the country.

New English Climbing Rose, Waltham Queen. 



This splendid NEW EVER-BLOOMING CLIMBING ROSE is intro- 

 duced from England, where it has given great satisfaction. It is believed to 

 be a valuable acquisition, particularly for the South and Pacific Coast, and 

 though not entirely hardy in the North, will probably do well in many situa- 

 tions in the Middle States. It is a strong grower and continuous bloomer; 

 the flowers are large, full and sweet ; color rich scarlety crimson, very beau- 

 tiful and a profuse bloomer. 25 cts. each. 



fliscellaneous Climbing Roses, The flicrophylla Roses. 



These are hardy and vigorous semi-climbing Roses, and are extremely 



satisfactory for cemeteries, rock work, covering old walls, mounds, etc., etc. 



Strong and bushy growers, with small, glossy, green foliage and nearly 



evergreen in habit ; the flowers are entirely double, very pretty and sweet. Splendid 



for Rose hedges. 



"White. — A strong grower and a continuous bloomer; flowers perfectly double, 

 sweet, and the purest white in color. 15 cts. each. 



Red. — Habit of growth similar to White ; flowers of bright red, produced in 

 great profusion. 15 cts. each. 



The Lady Banks or Banksian Roses 



Are fine climbing or trailing Roses. Require two or three years' growth to bloom 

 to perfection, and are then very beautiful. As the flowers are produced on the 

 old growth, they should be pruned very little, merely cutting away what is 

 absolutely necessary. 



Alba or White. — Pure white Violet- scented flowers ; beautiful, perfect 



form. 15 cts. each. 



Lutea or Yellow. — Fine clear yel- 

 low, very full and beautiful. 15c. each. 

 In selecting Roses of climbing habit 

 we would recommend the choice of 

 varieties which in point of hardiness 

 are best adapted to particular localities 

 and situations; it is a difficult matter 

 to protect tender climbers effectually.
