White Rambler^, ^e pre- 



dieted when 



.^. (THALIA.) that world- 



^"" ' renowned variety, Crimson Rambler, 



^^ was introduced, that the White Ram- 



bler would soon follow. It has come sooner 

 than we anticipated. While several white varie- 

 ties of inconspicuous merit have sprung up, 

 bearing some resemblance to Crimson Rambler, 

 It remained for Mr. Peter Lambert, the cele- 

 brated German Rosarian, from whom we secured 

 the stock, .to produce a blood relation to it, 

 which in habit of growth, foliage, manner of 

 blooming and form of flowers is identical with Crimson Rambler. The 

 flowers are pure snowy white. Crimson Rambler is the result of either 

 natural or artificial fertilization between the Japanese Polyantha Rose, 

 Sarmentosa, and an unknown variety. Thalia, or White Rambler, is 

 the result of a union between Sarmentosa and the prolific flowering Polyantha, 

 Paquerette, and this splendid new variety is therefore a blood relation to 

 Crimson Rambler. It is perhaps a more important introduction than it, and 

 fully as valuable, because it possesses features found in no other white climbing 

 Rose, having distinct flowers and being absolutely hardy anywhere. It is beyond question the 

 highest type of a hardy white climbing Rose yet introduced, and it is sure to become unusually pop- 

 ular everywhere, more especially in the North, where it is hardy without protection. The flowers 

 are superb ; they are produced in splendid large clusters, after the same fashion as Crimson Ram- 

 bler, having, like it, the same distinct pyramidal form found in no other Rose but the Rambler 

 family. The flowers of the White Rambler have the additional charm of being sweetly scented. 

 The color is pure white, without a blemish. They remain on the bush from three to five weeks, 

 and a well-established plant is a sight truly beautiful to behold. The habit of growth is vigorous, 

 young plants throwing up shoots 8 to 10 feet in height in a single season. Wherever Crimson Ram- 

 bler is planted this grand new variety should be found for certainly, apart from the fact that Thalia 

 is the equal of its sister variety, its own superior merits stamp it as one of the genuinely desirable 

 Roses of the year. 



The Pink Rambler 



(EUPHROSYNE.) 



flowers appear in large, full, handsome pyramidal truss- 

 es, similar to Crimson Rambler, and are borne in great 

 profusion from three to five weeks during the season. 

 The parentage of this remarkable new variety is partic- 

 ularly desirable ; it is a cross between Sarmentosa 

 (the parent of Crimson Rambler) and Mignonette, 

 one of the freest-flowering of Poly- 

 anthas. The color of the flower is pure 

 shiny rose ; the half-opened bud is a bril- 

 liant light carmine, making a strong and 

 efiective contrast. The numerous yellow 

 stamens lend an additional charm to the 

 flower. In hardiness, freedom of bloom, 

 form and color of flower, and vigorous 

 climbing habit, this variety is fully the 

 equal of Crimson Rambler. A magni- 

 ficent effect can be had by grouping the 

 White, Yellow and Pink Ramblers with 

 Crimson Rambler. No such important 

 introductions have been made for many 

 years as these new Rambler Roses. Once 

 seen they will become immensely pop- 

 ular.
