HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— 

 Continued 



Birdie Bly 



One of the freest blooming 



hardy Climbers that we know 



of today. Bushes here bloom 



five or six times each season. 



Perfectly hardy everywhere. 



Good strong grower. Foliage 



bright glossy green and free 



from insects or disease. Blooms 



full and double as per illustra- 

 tion, and over three inches in 



diameter. Color a bright car- 

 mine, changing to a bright 



satiny rose. Very fragrant. 



JEAN GIRIN (The everblooming Dorothy Perk- 

 ins). The flowers are similar in form and color 

 to the pink Dorothy Perkins. The chief merit 

 of this rose is that after giving a mass of bloom 

 in June, unlike the other climbers, it blooms 

 again. Cut off all of the old June blooms to help 

 the plant produce more flowers during the 

 summer and fall. 



SOURCE D'OR. A golden yellow with large 

 double flowers. Strong rank grower. Absolutely 

 hardy. 



MINNEHAHA. A charming double satiny pink-flowering Rambler of a 

 most pleasing color. Flowers are borne in clusters: foliage glossy green. 



LADY GODIVA. A magnificent white sport from Dorothy Perkins, 

 with flowers growing in splendid clusters and of remarkably vigorous 

 growth and handsome foliage. Dark green foliage and free from 

 ravages of insects or disease. 



GOLDFINCH. A new, hardy climbing Rose which will shortly be- 

 come one of the leaders. It is of the Rambler type and bears a won- 

 drous profusion of lemon-yellow, semi-double flowers in large trusses. 

 The buds are beautiful deep yellow. Hardy and everblooming. 



AUNT HARRIET. In full bloom, it is amazingly fine with its masses 

 of dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The bright 

 effect is intensified by the pure white centers and brilliant golden 

 anthers which shine out when the flowers are fully open. Awarded 

 Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. 



MARY WALLACE. Hardy Climber or pillar rose 

 making a fine, strong self-supporting plant 6 to 8 

 feet high, with large glossy foliage, blooming with 

 great freedom in spring and bearing a considerable 

 number of fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers 

 very large, usually exceeding 4 inches across; well 

 formed semi-double, of a bright clear rose-pink with 

 salmon base to the petals. 



MARY LOVETT. A cross between a Seedling 

 Wiehuraiana and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and 

 termed a "White Dr. Van Fleet." This rose is 

 strongly recommended. Loses foliage early.

The colors of carmine and crimson are those of the 

 bush rose American Beauty. Exceptionally fine buds, 

 opening into very large flowers of splendid form, borne 

 on long stems, and available for cutting. Vigorous, 

 healthy, leathery foliage, retained usually throughout 

 the season. The blooming season is unusually long 

 for a climbing Rose. Absolutely hardy, it is one of the 

 best roses for pillars, pergolas, for climbing over 

 verandas, or wherever a climber is desired. Its ease 

 of growth make it the amateur's best bet. 

 NEWPORT FAIRY. A strong, sturdy grower, with 



healthy bright green foliage. Lovely single deep 



pink flowers, shaded lighter in center. 

 WHITE DOROTHY. It is a rampant grower, and 



in a short time will cover a large trellis. The 



flowers are of a brilliant glistening white.
