Climbing American Beauty 



American Beauty is perhaps the best 

 known, most popular and impressive Rose 

 in cultivation. Big, gloriously rich in fra- 

 grance, the flowers are simply superb. Every 

 Rose expert has longed to produce this 

 Queen of Beauty in climbing form through 

 the delicate science of hybridizing and cross 

 breeding. This is no ordinary Climbing 

 Rose, but is a vigorous, rampant, climbing 

 type of the real American Beauty, with its 

 gorgeous flowers, and- surpassing fragrance. 

 Immense blooms measuring 3 to 4 inches in 

 diameter; and each one is invariably pro- 

 duced on a separate stem. The color is 

 glowing crimson red, the real American 

 Beauty color. The foliage is magnificent and 

 is an important feature in climbing Roses, 

 for without healthy,, leathery foliage any 

 climbing Rose is a failure, because it is un- 

 sightly. Climljing- American Beauty has 

 tough, beautiful, glossy green foliage, which 

 in itself is ornamental and retains its bright- 

 ness during the entire season. Absolutely 

 hardy in all localities and withstands the 

 rigid winters of a temperature 10 to 25 de- 

 grees below zero without protection. Equal- 

 ly satisfactory in the warmer southern cli- 

 mates. For single specimens, for pergolas, 

 for climbing- over verandas, or any place 

 that an ordinary vine will grow, Climbing 

 American Beauty will thrive. It does not re- 

 quire any petting or coaxing. 



Remember, e^-ery plant is pot grown, and 

 unlike stock sold by nursery agents, is on its 

 own roots. Once planted, it practically lasts 

 forever.
