SELECT-GROSE'S 



Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses— Cont'd 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin (The Spanish Beauty). An out- 

 standing 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. 



Paul's Lemon Pillar. .A very beautiful and entirely distinct 

 showy large double, pale sulphur-yellow, perfectly formed 

 fragrant 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, produced in clusters of from 3 to 20 

 flowers on long, strong stems. 



Phyllis Bide. A dainty, exquisitely formed small bud and flower 

 with refiexed petals; color pale yellow tinted with tones of pink 

 and deep rosy tips. Blooms intermittently throughout the sea- 

 son. Particularly nice as a pillar Rose. 



Primrose . A real hardy yellow rambler, a strong, vigorous grow- 

 er of a glowing primrose yellow which color is maintained until 

 the petals drop. The moderately fragrant 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 

 flowering as Tausendschoen, but of a deeper and more even 

 shade of cerise-pink, or carmine. 



Royal Scarlet. A seedling of Paul's Scarlet Climber similar in 

 color but develops its bloom fully 2 weeks earlier. 



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. 



The Beacon. A distinct and effective bright fiery-red with 

 white eye in the way of American Pillar, single and semi-double, 

 produced in large clusters, handsome foliage. 



Thelma. Similar in habit of growth to Paul's Scarlet Climber 

 which is one of its parents. The flowers are usually with three 

 rows of petals, produced in clusters of from 3 to 18 blooms, 

 which last in good condition a long time. Color a delicate coral 

 pink suffused with carmine. 



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, especially valuable where a trailing plant is desired, 

 forming a dense mat of almost evergreen foliage.

Climbing Hybrid-Tea and Tender Climbing Roses

Roses, these climbing forms produce a large crop of flowers in 



June, with a liberal scattering of blooms throughout the season. 



All of these varieties require protection in the latitude of Phila- 

 delphia and are especially desirable in the southern states.

 blackish maroon. 



Climbing Caroline Testout. Combines all the good points 

 of the popular pink bush Rose in climbing form. 



Climbing Golden Emblem. A most beautiful clear yellow, 

 occasionally flaked with crimson on the outer petals, wonder- 

 fully well shaped buds. 



Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Beautifully shaped buds of large 

 size, of a rich dazzling scarlet. 



Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A climbing form of 

 this popular white Rose. 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. The best of the climbing Hybrid- 

 Tea varieties. Very large rose pink flowers. 



Climbing Los Angeles. A strong climbing form of the popu- 

 lar Rose Los Angeles, producing equally beautiful sweet scented 

 flowers of a luminous flame-pink with golden coral suffusion. 



Climbing Mme. Edouard Herriot. A climbing form of the 

 popular coral red Daily Mail Rose. 



Climbing Mrs. Aaron Ward. A climbing form of this popular 

 Indian-yellow variety. 



Climbing Rose Marie. Climbing form of the attractive rose- 

 pink bedding variety. 



Climbing Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. A very strong

 large buds and very large cupped flowers; very vigorous.

 crimson; one of the finest climbing Roses yet produced. 

 Any of the above, $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen.
