HOW TO SECURE A ROSE FREE— 5ee Page 4 



Hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Roses on this and the next page are noted for the exquis- 

 ite beauty of their flowers, rivaling, as they do, those of the Hybrid 

 Tea class. They are all wonderfully strong growing, hardy and 

 vigoirous, and in constant bloom all summer. In the middle 

 sections of the country and in the Northwest they thrive and 

 bloom most luxuriantly, while in the warmer sections they fairly 

 run riot in their glory of growth and bloom. Even in the coldest 

 Northern States they grow to perfection, but will require pro- 

 tection in winter. 



» Climbing Pink Killarney 



The beautiful flowers of this wonderful Rose are identical with 

 the parent variety, but the bush is of the climbing habit of growth, 

 placing it at once in a class by itself, because there is no other 

 climbing variety of its color. It is a strong, rapid grower, grow- 

 ing to perfection in the open ground, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 

 feet high in a single season, and is entirely hardy. It blooms con- 

 tinuously throughout the season, and the flowers are magnificent 

 beyond description, immense, long, pointed buds with massive 

 petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; color deep pink, 

 bright and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously fragrant; in 

 fact, one of the greatest new Roses ever offered. 

 *CrJMBING WHITE KILTiARNEY — An exact counterpart of 

 the bush Rose White Killarney, but a vigorous clinmber. Pro- 

 duces blooms of purest white of same formation, and on single 

 stems same as the bush Rose. Hardy everywhere, and blooms 

 all season. Price, first size plants, 25c each, 5 for $1.00; larger 

 size, 35c each, 3 for $1.00, postpaid. Two-year-old plants, 60c 

 each, by express.

* Climbing Gruss an Teplitz 



Or VIRGIXIA R. COXE. 



A valuable addition to this class of Roses so rapidly 

 coming into popularity on account of their blooming 

 qualities. This is an exact counterpart of the bush 

 Rose Gruss an Teplitz, but a vigorous climber, attain- 

 ing a height of 10 to 15 feet in a single season. When 

 it first blooms in the spring it is a dazzling sheet of 

 velvety crimson. Each bloom is produced singly on 

 long stems, the same as the bush variety so well 

 known. It produces blooms throughout the growing season. 



MRS. ROBERT PEARY — A strong and rapid grower, coming 

 to perfection in the open ground. Small plants of Mrs. 

 Robert Peary will bloom continuously throughout the sea- 

 son and the flowers are magnificent beyond description. The 

 buds are long and pointed, finely modeled and gracefully finished, 

 while the fragrance is indeed delicious. The flowers, when open, 

 are of splendid substance, extra large, deep and double, produced 

 on long, stiff stems, like those of a forcing Rose. 



♦ClilMBEVG COL. R. S. WILLIAMSON— A sport from the Hybrid 

 Tea Rose of the same name, but a remarkable grower. Mag- 

 nificent blooms on long, single stems, full and double. Color 

 exquisite shade of soft, rich carmine. In bloom all summer. 

 Hardy in all localities. 



CLIMBING MAD. JULES GROLEZ — A climbing form of one of 

 the finest of the new Hybrid Tea Roses — Mad. Jules Grolez, a 

 Rose described as a red Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The bush is 

 remarkably thrifty.
