Hardy Climbing Roses 



Climbing American Beauty 



A cross between the American Beauty and an unnamed seedling. Color rosy 

 :rimson, identical with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, and with the 

 same exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found in climbing Roses. Of strong 

 habit of growth, making shoots of from ten to fifteen feet in one season, hardy 

 as an oak. Will thrive and bloom in almost any situation where a climbing or 

 pillar Rose is desired. Flowers three to four inches in diameter, finely formed 

 on long stems, are produced in great profusion. (See illustration.) 



Dr. W. Van Fleet 



Flowers are four inches and over in diameter. The center is built high, 

 petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkably delicate 

 shade of flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. 

 The flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume, buds pointed, stems 

 twelve to eighteen inches and fine for cutting. The foliage is a peculiar shade 

 of bronze-green, large and glossy. (See illustration.) 



Dorothy Perkins 



A hardy climbing Rose of American origin which has become a standard 

 sort. The color is beautiful clear shell-pink; it blooms in trusses of from 

 ten to thirty, each floret considerably over one inch in diameter, the stem to 

 the truss being quite long, thus making them available for cutting and in- 

 terior decoration. The flowers are fragrant and last a long time in good con- 

 dition. Healthy, hardy and handsome. 



New Fiery-Red Rambler Rose, Excelsa 



A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly in 

 the brilliant fiery-red or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The intensely 

 brilliant color is accentuated by the great masses of 

 giant trusses produced on the plants, and further- 

 more by the contrast with the deep green, glossy 

 foliage. The flowers are very double; they 

 are larger than any of the Rambler Roses 

 and borne in trusses of thirty to forty on 

 each. It is very vigorous in growth and 

 belongs to the disease-proof race of 

 Climbing Roses.
