THREE SENSATIONAL NEW RAMBLER ROSES 



^\hen the Crimson Rambler Rose was first disseminateil and became 

 generally known it was hailed as one of the most important Rose in- 

 froductions in years, or I mif<ht say one of the greatest plant introduc- 

 tion?. From time to time new Ramblers of varying merit have lieen put 

 upon the market, but it was the wizard of Woods Hole, Mr. M. H. Walsh, 

 who came to the front with a real companion for the Crimson Kaniblerin 

 his new sensational Rambler Rose Ijady (iay. 



This Rose has received the highest' awards possible from the most 

 distinguished societies in America and Europe. 



NEW PINK RAMBLER ROSE 

 LADY GAY 



The Raiser's description: "A seedling from the popular Crimson 

 Rambler, which it resembles in haliit and general effect. The flowers are 

 of a delicate cherry pink color, which fades to soft white. The foliage is 

 very profuse and of a glossy deep green shade. The effect of a plant in 

 full bloom, with the combination of the soft white flowers, the cherry 

 pink liuds, .and the deep green foliage, is indeed most charming. Tht- 

 plant is a vigorous grower and perfectly hardy. As will lie seen from 

 the accompanying illustration, the flowers are" very numerous and of 

 good size; they are also delicately perfumed. This is a Ro.se of the 

 highest merit, and far superior to the Crimson Rambler. This is a new 

 color in a Rose, of which one will not become tired, as is the case with 

 the Crimson Rambler." 



Strong flowering plants, field-grown ; by that is meant i)lants which 

 will flower next summer. SI. .50 each, §1.5.00 per doz. 



NEW RAMBLER ROSE 

 WEDDING BELLS 



The Rai.ser's description: "Wedding Bells is a seedlnig of the 

 Crimson Rambler. This is a valuable acquisition to this charming class 

 of Roses. It grows vigorously, is liardy, distinct in foliage, and the most 

 floriferous Rose yet produced. All the buds on each shoot produce a 

 cluster of beautiful flowers of which the color is white with the upper half 

 of the petals soft pink. It is admirably suited for gnjwing as a specimen 

 bush in the garden and may be grown in hedge form for windbreak or 

 shelter in the garden. This variety is specially adai)ted for greenhouse 

 or conservatory decoration. Awarded Silver Medal by Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society, June, 1904. The plant is perfectly hardy, and the leaves 

 are very tough and less susceptible to the attacks of insects and mildew 

 than any other Rose in this popular class.''

NEW RAMBLER ROSE 

 HIAWATHA 



The Raiser's desci-iption : "This seedling, which attracted 

 so much attention and evoked many favorable comments 

 when exhibited the flrst time at the spring exhibition of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society in March, 1902. is a distinct 

 acquisition to the ever popular RauiMcr class of Roses. It is a 

 seedling from Crimson Rambler. Tlie flnwers are single, and are 

 of a deep, intense crimson shade with the petals shading to a 

 I>ure white base. The foliage is of a dark glossy green. The 

 remarkable beauty and the striking effect of a plant in full bloom 

 must be seen to be thoroughly appreciated. Flowers very freely, 

 and it is undoubtedly one of the best of the single Roses now 

 extant. It is an exi'ellent plant for forcing and is well suited for 

 climbing or trailing."
