 Climbing Hybrid 



Tea Roses 



The Roses on this page are noted for the exquisite 

 beauty of their flowers, rivaling, as they do, those of* 

 the Hybrid Tea class. They are all wonderfully strong 

 growing, hardy and vigorous, and in constant bloom 

 all summer. In the middle sections of the country and 

 in the Northwest they thrive and bloom most 'luxuri- 

 antly, while in the warmer sections they fairly run riot 

 in their glory of gro\\'th and bloom. Even in the 

 coldest Northern States they grow to perfection, but 

 will require some slight protection in winter. 



*Climbing Pink Killarney 



It blooms continuously throughout the season, and 

 the flowers are magnificent beyond description, im- 

 mense, long, pointed buds with massive petals, opening 

 into flowers of enormous size; color deep pink, bright 

 and sparkling, an exquisite shade, deliciously fragrant; 

 in fact, one of the greatest new Roses we have ever 

 offered. 



*CLIMBING WHITE KILLARNEY— An exact 

 counterpart of the bush Rose White Killarney, but a 

 vigorous climber. Produces blooms of purest white 

 of same formation, and on single stems the same as 

 the bush Rose. 



CLIMBING MY MARYLAND— This is the climb- 

 ing type of the well-known Hybrid Tea Rose, "My 

 Maryland," and has all the desirable features of its 

 parent, with a remarkable climbing tendency, growing 

 10 to 15 feet in a single season. Color bright salmon- 

 pink with paler edges, beautifully dark veined; de- 

 lightfully fragrant, and the finest blooms of any Rose 

 we have yet seen. Price, large two-year-old plants, 

 $1.00 each, by express. All grown on own roots, good, 

 clean, healthy stock. 



* Climbing Pine Maman Cochet 



A pure Maman Cochet Rose of the climbing habit, 

 and as there is no Rose that is as popular as the Cochets 

 we feel confident in offering this climbing Rose to the 

 rose-loving public that it will prove to be as popular as 

 the Bush Rose of this name, as it is an exact counterpart 

 of the bush variety. As free blooming as the Cochets, 

 which will without doubt make it a very valuable addition 

 to the climbing roses, sufficiently hardy to withstand the 

 vigor of the northern winters with some protection, 

 and blooming throughout the growing season. 

 CLIMBING LADY HILLINGDON— A true Lady 

 Hillingdon Rose of the climbing habit. The blooms 

 are identical with the bush variety of this same name, 

 but the plant is a strong, vigorous grower, producing 

 its buds, and blooms throughout the growing season 

 with great profusion. As hardy as the bush rose of 

 this name. Price, 50c each for first size plants; 2-year- 

 old plants, $1.50 each. 



Bloom of Climbing Killarney 



*CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT— It is most 

 vigorous, and the small plants will attain a height of 

 15 to 25 feet in a single season, TDranching extensively. 

 Produces cluster after cluster of the most finely formed 

 flowers, large, round, perfectly double, with beautiful 

 imbricated petals, the color of which is delightful. 

 The color is ivory-white, shading toward the center to 

 silvery rose. 



*CLIMBING LADY ASHTOWN—Strong, rapid 

 grower, producing large, delicate, pink flowers in 

 abundance. 



*CLIMBING WOOTON— Superbly formed flowers in 

 wonderful profusion, of bright magenta-red, passing 

 to violet crimson, richly shaded. 



*NEW CLIMBING CRIMSON BABY RAMBLER— 



A hardy climbing Rose combining the everblooming 

 qualities of the famous Crimson Baby Rambler Roses, 

 with a climbing habit which makes it one of the best 

 of all Roses for porch or pergola adornment.
