GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



THOUSAND BEAUTIES ROSE 



CLIMBING ROSES, continued 



Mrs. Robert Peary. The flowers, when open, 

 are of splendid substance, extra-large, 

 deep and double, produced on long, stiff 

 stems like those of a forcing Rose. This 

 Rose is quick-growing, producing shoots 

 10 to 15 feet high each year, absolutely 

 hardy and is sure to bloom. It is the only 

 pure white Climbing Rose that will give 

 you flowers the first year and throughout 

 the season. 



Caution. — Be sure you get the genuine Mrs. 

 Robert Peary. There are many imitations. 

 Our stock is grown from the original. 



Thousand Beauties (Tausendschon). Bloom- 

 ing profusely from the beginning of June 

 until the last of July, the flowers appear in 

 large clusters (10 to 15 in a cluster), are 

 of splendid size and quite double. The 

 colors run from delicate balsam or tender 

 rose through the intermediate shades of 

 bright rose and carmine, with white, yel- 

 low and various other tints showing. It 

 is a strong grower, with but few thorns, 

 magnificent foliage, impervious against 

 mildew and absolutely hardy. 



Dorothy Perkins. Flowers are borne in large 

 clusters, are very double, with prettily 

 crinkled petals; remarkably pretty pointed 

 buds, beautiful clear shell-pink in color, 

 lasting a long time without fading. 



Lady Gay. Flowers of a delicate cherry-pink 

 color, which fades to a soft white; deep 

 green foliage. A vigorous grower and per- 

 fectly hardy. One of the most charming 

 of all climbers. 



Crimson Rambler. One-year plants will 

 attain a height of 10 to 20 feet in a single 

 season, and the second year they will 

 continue to produce a marvelous pro- 

 fusion of rich and glowing crimson 

 flowers in large clusters. It presents a 

 vivid crimson mass of beauty when in 

 full bloom, during June and July. It 

 is absolutely hardy everywhere and is 

 equally desirable for growing in bush 

 form by pegging it down, or as pot- 

 plants. 



Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This now 

 famous variety differs from the old 

 Crimson Rambler in having brighter, 

 deeper and more intense crimson color. 

 Blooming earlier than the Crimson 

 Rambler, it has the additional advan- 

 tage of being entirely free from mildew. 

 Flowers perfectly double and of ex- 

 cellent substance.

 can have partial support. The Roses in the
