CLIMBING ROSES 



mm 



THE almost magical development of this class within a few years past has brought 

 them prominently to the fore. Their remarkable merits have made them the 

 most popular Roses in cultivation. We know of no class of Roses that are 

 more satisfactory ; indeed, there are few as good. We make a specialty of the Climbing 

 Roses because their remarkable merits entitle them to a place in every garden. They 

 are the sort of Roses we can recornmend, and feel that they will not only do what we 

 say they will, but a little more. They are strong growers, and most of them are 

 hardy everywhere with slight protection. They bloom with the greatest freedom, and 

 with many of them there is not a day during the growing season when they are not 

 blooming. And. such flowers ! They are simply exquisite. No illustration will do 

 justice to the beauty of such varieties as Climbing Clotilde Soupert, Mrs. Robert Peary, 

 Climbing Wootton, Climbing Meteor, Climbing Bridesmaid, CHmbing Rose Rubin, the 

 Rambler Roses, in fact it is difficult to say which is the prettiest. Certain it is. that of 

 all the Roses offered in this book the Climbing Roses are among the cheapest, best and 

 most satisfactory for general planting.

Climbing Wootton. 



A Great, New, Hardy, Ever-blooming 

 Crimson Rose. 



To our mind this great Rose is to be 

 classed with Mrs. Robert Peary and other 

 great climbing varieties for these reasons: 

 It is perfectly hardy, has no weak spots, 

 grows with wonderful vigor, blooms con- 

 tinuously throughout the growing season, 

 producing flowers that are nothing less 

 than superb, both in beauty and in fra- 

 grance. 



If there is such a thing as having one 

 Rose more beautiful than another, we think 

 this variety may be entitled to this dis- 

 tinction. It is a strong, rampant climber, 

 growing in one season to a height of 10 to 15 

 feet, with large, heavy, insect-proof foliage. It 

 produces in most wonderful profusion its su- 

 perbly-formed flowers, which are bright, magenta 

 red, passing to violet crimson, richly shaded. The 

 flowers are large, full and regular, with thick, leathery 

 petals, and deUciously scented. ^ Makes beautiful buds. 

 As an outdoor climbing Rose it will take front rank. 

 One of the grandest sights we have ever seen was a well- 

 developed bush of this variety literally loaded down with 

 finely -formed flowers and buds. This variety will give you 

 satisfaction from the minute you get it.

"The Climbing Wootton I received from you last year was not planted until June, and grew nearly fifteen feet 

 last Summer. It stood the Winter well, and is starting out strong shoots now.
