CLIMBING HYBRID-TEA AND TENDER CLIMBING ROSES 
While not as free flowering as the bush type of Hybrid-Tea Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of flowers in June, with 
a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. The tender sorts are not hardy in the latitude of Philadelphia, except in favored 
positions, or with protection; especially adapted to covering rafters, etc., in greenhouses, or for outdoor culture in the South. 
Black Boy. An Australian introduction where it has become a 
great favorite; a sweet scented large fiery scarlet overlaid with 
blackish maroon.

of the popular pink bush Rose in climbing form.

size, of a rich dazzling scarlet. 
Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A climbing form of 
this popular white Rose. 
Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of all the climbing Hy- 
brid-Tea varieties. A plant in the most exposed part of our 
Nursery, with very little protection, has withstood many 
winters, producing not only an immense crop of its very large 
soft rose-colored flowers in June, but continuing to bloom 
almost without intermission until the end of the season. 
Climbing Lady Hillingdon. Beautiful long well formed buds 
of a luminous coppery shade of apricot-yellow. 
Climbing Los Angeles. A strong climbing form of the popular 
Rose Los Angeles, producing equally beautiful sweet scented 
flowers of a luminous flame-pink with golden coral suffusion.

popular coral pink Daily Mail Rose.

pink bedding variety.

sport of this beautiful yellow Rose will make a fine subject as a 
climber or pillar Rose and we believe will prove hardy with 
protection. $1.50 each. 
Climbing Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. A very strong 
growing climbing form of this beautiful yellow. 
Gwen Nash. One of the prettiest climbers we know, a large 
semi-double flower opening out quite flat and of a most beautiful 
soft shell pink, very free flowering. 
Kitty Kininmonth. An Australian variety of an attractive 
bright fadeless pink with large buds and very large cupped 
flowers; very vigorous.

highly recommended; a brilliant rich crimson, said to be the 
finest climbing Rose yet produced. 
PRICE. Any of the above except where noted, in strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 
Rose Species 
Rosa Hugonis. This species, from China, is unlike any other 
Rose. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms 
symmetrical bushes about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, 
and while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an in- 
valuable subject when planted in connection with other shrubs 
or as single specimens in the garden. 
Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 
sprays early in May, after it has finished flowering it remains 
an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the season; 
perfectly hardy. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; 
$10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 
Rosa Moyesi. A strikingly beautiful species, similar in habit of 
growth to Rosa Hugonis but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with 
attractive, brilliant, single, deep blood-red flowers, in June. 
$1.50 each. 
Rosa Xanthina. Bright yellow double flowers about two 
inches across, really a double flowering Hugonis with better 
foliage and lasts in flower for a much longer period. $1.50 each. 
Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 
These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 
Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage 
is deliciously scented. Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be 
grown as pillar Roses. 
Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 
Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 
Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic 
lustre, the base of each petal is yellow. 
Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 
lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 
pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented 
Any of the above varieties, $1.50 each. 
Trailing Hybrid-Rugosa Rose 
Max Graf 
Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found 
most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is far superior 
to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa 
Rugosa, is retained very late in the season, it is practically immune 
to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers are 
large, single, bright pink with prettily crimped petals. For 
planting on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall, it has no 
equal. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.
