Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Illustrated in Natural Color on Front Cover 



Vivid scarlet shaded slightly crimson, but almost a 

 flaming scarlet, a most pleasing and striking color. Makes 

 a brilliant display for a long time in the garden. The 

 petals do not fade like many climbing Roses, but retain 

 their bright color, and remains in bloom for from two to 

 four weeks. The Rose received the gold medal and cup 

 for the best Climbing Rose at the National Rose Society's 

 exhibit. 



At The Rose Society's 

 Test Garden 



at Arlington, D. C. conducted by and in conjunction with 

 the Agriculture Department at Washington where the 

 American Rose Society held their annual meeting last 

 spring the most prominent and attracted more attention 

 than any other was Paul's Scarlet Climber. Two speci- 

 mens trained to trelles made a wonderful show, while two 

 that had been kept pruned as a bush Rose were magnificent 

 specimens, covered with their bright handsome full double 

 blooms. At that time they had been in bloom some two 

 weeks and were still the bright color while many more 

 buds had not opened. 



President S. S. Pennock, Society of American Florists, 

 reports from the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, where he was 

 one of the judges at the Rose gardens which is as follows: 

 "In the climbers Paul's Scarlet Climber stood out in the 

 garden by far the best among the climbers and they said 

 that it had been in bloom for over two weeks, was still in 

 fine shape and attracted the public probably more than any 

 other one rose in the gardens. There were several plants 



of Paul's Scarlet Climber, and one group of four plants, trained up in pyramid shape, made a wonderful show. 



This is rather an attractive way to train Climbers, especially where they are as free bloomers as Paul's Scarlet 



Climber, which presented almost a solid, vivid red mass." 



A good strong grower and soon makes a good display. Foliage good and free from mildew and diseases, as well as 

 insects. 



These sterling qualities will soon win for it a reputation far beyond that enjoyed at one time by the old Crimson 

 Rambler. After done blooming its bright foliage will make it a most desirable rose.
