NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE 



DOROTHY PERHINS. 



A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by all 

 ■who have tried it. The color is a beautiful, clear shell-pink, and it 

 blooms in clusters. We append the opinion of Mr. W. C. Egan, a well- 

 known rosarian : 



"When a novelty proves exceptionallp good I feel like catling the atiention of my 

 friends to it. I hare grown about all the so-called Ramblers, but none among them 

 can compare with the new climbing Rose, Dorothy Perkins. It flowers in clusters 

 of from ten to thirty, each flower considerably over an inch in diameter, the stem to 

 the cluster being quite lonij, ihws making them available for cutting and interior dec- 

 oration. The buds are of good length and nval those of that' charming fairy Rose, 

 Mme. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque work in their daintiness. The flowers are 

 fragrant and lost a long time in good condition. It is said to have withstood o v^iriier 

 temperature of 20° below zero uninjured."

An invaluable addition to our list of hardy Roses of climbing' habit.

 blooms most profusely on growths made the previous season, producing 

 hundreds of clusters of perfect flowers. The color is French white with 

 a distinct center of sil-^ery-rose ; flowers perfectly double even in the 

 hottest weather. It is the healthiest climbing Rose we know, has never 

 had any disease and should succeed everj^^'here.

CLIMBING WOOTTON. 



Large, deep crimson flowers richly perfumed. It is a very vigorous 

 grower, almost imper\nous to mildew, ever-blooming, so that flowers may 



be expected from 

 well-established 

 plants throughout

 much cannot be sai 

 in praise of this grand 

 Rose. (5r(? cut.)
