Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 



Albertine. A most pleasing shade of cameo-pink with salmon 

 suffusion; moderately double, sweetly scented flowers produced 

 early in the season; healthy glossy foliage. 



American Pillar. A single flowering variety of great beauty. 

 The flowers are of large size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely 

 shade of pink with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow 

 stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches and a 

 large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 



Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American 

 Beauty, in shape of flower, but is brighter in 

 color, a clear bright red, of good size and of 

 double form, strong and very fragrant. 



Bonfire. The best of the red ramblers. Color in- 

 tense crimson scarlet or fiery red in many flow- 

 ered trusses. 



Chaplin's Pink Climber. This splendid vigor- 

 ous climber with good sized, shapely, double 

 flowers of a rich lively pink with just a touch of 

 salmon when first expanding makes a most effec- 

 tive display of color unequaled by any other 

 sort of this type. 



Climbing American Beauty. Its name is 

 somewhat misleading, but is one of the best 

 climbing Roses; a strong healthy vigorous grower, 

 frequently making shoots from 10 to 12 feet long, 

 and good sized flowers for a climbing Rose that 

 blooms so freely; color deep rose pink, of good 

 form and substance. 



Climbing Lafayette. A climbing sport of the 

 dwarf Bedding Polyantha Rose Lafayette with 

 attractive bright crimson scarlet flowers in large 

 trusses, produced intermittently throughout the 

 season; a gem in every way. 



Dorothy Perkins. The old favorite soft shell- 

 pink, still popular. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet. A Rose, which on account of 

 its dainty color and exquisitely shaped buds and 

 flowers, has become a great favorite. The long 

 pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink on stems 12 

 to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. A strong 

 vigorous grower. 



Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing 

 Rose. The buds are long and pointed, 

 of splendid shape; color a beautiful 

 light orange-yellow, changing to pale 

 orange as they expand; they are borne 

 on stiff stems of sufficient length for 

 cutting, these stems are of a crimson- 

 red color which together with the un- 

 usually dark green, glossy holly-like 

 foliage, adds a charm to the flowers. 

 Requires protection north of Phila- 

 delphia. 



Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, open- 

 ing to double flowers of cream color; 

 incurving towards evening to the shape 

 and color of a Cape Jessamine, hence 

 its name. 



Jacotte. Everybody admires Jacotte 

 which is entirely different from all 

 other climbers, a deep orangy yellow 

 tinted coppery red, good sized, semi- 

 double, very lasting flowers borne 

 several together on long stems; very 

 free, coming into flower at the same 

 time as Paul's Scarlet Climber; a 

 jewel among the climbers. 



Hardy Climbing Rose, Primrose 



Le Reve. Bright sunflower yellow on the style of the old favorite 

 Persian Yellow but with long pointed buds and semi-double 

 attractive flowers 2\ inches across, produced early in the season. 

 Particularly useful as a pillar Rose. 



Mary Lovett. Large well-formed flowers of pure waxy white, 

 sweetly scented. 



Mary Wallace. Well formed, semi-double flowers of a bright 

 clear rose-pink with salmon base to the petals, flowers large, 

 generally exceeding four inches in diameter, very free flowering. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin (The Spanish Beauty). 

 An outstanding climber, a strong, vigorous, healthy 

 grower with good foliage; one of the earliest to bloom 

 with buds and flowers of great beauty. The buds are 

 shapely, long pointed on 12 to 14-inch long stems; 

 the base color is an iridescent pearly pink tipped with 

 crimson as the petals first unfold into shapely, semi- 

 double, fragrant flowers. Really a queen among 

 climbing Roses. $1.00 each. 



Marie Gouchault. Just like Dorothy 

 Perkins but deeper in color, a clear geran- 

 ium-pink and with healthy foliage; one 

 of the best of this type. 



Paul's Lemon Pillar. A very beautiful and 

 entirely distinct showy large double, sulphur- 

 yellow, perfectly formed flower, that has 

 proven hardy in this latitude. Fine as a pillar 

 Rose. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. The most popular 

 of all climbing Roses. Unequaled in brilliancy 

 by any other variety, in color a vivid 

 scarlet, of large size and are produced in 

 clusters of from 3 to 20 flowers on long, strong 

 stems. 



Phyllis Bide. A dainty, exquisitely formed 

 small bud and flower with reflexed petals; 

 color pale yellow tinted with tones of pink and 

 deep rosy tips. Blooms intermittently 

 throughout the season. Particularly nice as 

 a pillar Rose. 



Primrose. A real hardy yellow 

 rambler, a strong, vigorous grower 

 of a glowing primrose yellow which 

 color is maintained until the petals 

 drop. The flowers are usually 

 borne 2 or 3 to a spray on long 

 stems, lasting in good condition for 

 a long time. Dark glossy green 

 foliage. 



Roserie (Red Tausendschoen). Of 

 the same habit of growth and flow- 

 ering as Tausendschoen, but of a 

 deeper and more even shade of 

 cerise-pink, or carmine. 



Silver Moon. Different from all other 

 Roses, with beautiful fragrant semi-double 

 flowers four and a half inches and over in 

 diameter; creamy white in color, petals of 

 great substance, beautifully cupped. 



Wichuraiana {Memorial Rose). Pretty, 

 fragrant single pure white flowers with 

 yellow stamens followed in fall by bright 

 red hips or berries, a good climbing Rose 

 where no great height is required, espe- 

 cially valuable where a trailing plant is 

 desired, forming a dense mat of almost 

 evergreen foliage.
