RAMBLERI ROSES 
Crimson Rambler 
Crimson Rambler — The best-known and 
most popular of all the climbing rosea. 
A rapid grower, making sometimes 15 
to 20 feet in a season; flowers are borne 
in clusters of 15 to 25 perfectly shaped 
blossoms of a rich glowing crimson; 
when in full bloom the vine appears to 
be a perfect mat of rich red flowers; 
perfectly hardy everywhere. 
Dorothy Perkins — This is one of the new 
Rambler types; has the same strong 
habit of growth as the Crimson; flowers 
are borne in large cluster of 25 to 30 
and are a beautiful shell pink; the indi- 
vidual flower is larger than the Crimson 
Rambler. A valuable acquisition to the 
climbing roses. 
Lady Gay — Another new type fully equal 
to the Crimson; bud opens, a deep pink, 
shading to almost pure white when 
flower is matured; borne in large clus- 
ters and very double. 
Philadelphia — A splendid climbing rose 
with flowers more than two inches in 
diameter; very double, deep rich crim- 
son, more intense than the Crimson 
Rambler; borne in large clusters com- 
pletely covering the bush; the flowers 
hold their color for a long time; vine 
is very hardy and a strong grower. 
Pink Ramblei — Flowers are double, of a 
clear shell pink; borne in large clusters; 
a valuable rose for cutting. 
White Ramblei — Flowers are pure white, 
very double and remain on the vine a 
long time. 
Yellow/ Ramblei — Same as the pink, ex- 
cepting flowers are a light yellow, 
changing to straw color; very fragrant.
