DiNGEE Roses ^Sj Own Root's. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Alberic Barbier 



A Great New Yellow Climbing Rose. Very best 

 bardy Climbing Rose in cultivation. Grows in almost 

 any soil or situation. Free from insect attacks, beau- 

 tiful, heavy, waxy foliage. Continues in bloom for 

 quite a protracted period; free from mildew; in short, 

 the type of Rose that may be planted and forgotten. 

 The beautiful yellow flowers are unusually full and 

 double, and produced sometimes singly and sometimes 

 in clusters with utmost freedom. All plants grown on 

 own roots. 



*VEILCHEN BLAU, or Violet Blue— The Blue Rose 

 is one of the most rampant growers we have ever 

 seen, covering a large porch in a single season. 

 The flowers are borne in loose clusters and are a 

 delightful shade of blue — something entirely differ- 

 ent from any Rose now in cultivation.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES— Continued 



PauFs Scarlet Climber 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 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 remain 

 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 So- 

 ciety's exhibit. 



At the Rose Society's Test Garden at Arling- 

 ton, D. C, conducted by and in conjunction w^ith 

 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 specimens 

 trained to trellises 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 

 (or over two weeks, was still in fine shape and 

 attracted the public probably more than any 

 other one rose in the garden. There were sev- 

 eral 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 w^ell as insects. 



These sterling qualities will soon w^in 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.
