THE BABY RAMBLER ROSE 
or CRIMSON RAMBLER in Bosh Form 
Ever Blooming from June until Late Frosts 
t on INDIVIDUAL FLOWERS HAVE BEEN 
yZKJ COUNTED ON A SINGLE PANICLE. 
No introduction to the floral world ever made so great a success as the 
Crimson Rambler Rose. It has been planted by the millions in all 
parts of the country, and up to this time has never been equaled as a hardy, 
brilliant and strikingly handsome climber. 
Its weak points, however, were the shortness of its blooming season, 
and its adaptability as a climber only. With this elegant rose as a type of 
perfection it was natural that every effort to improve it would be the desire 
and life work of the Horticulturists throughout the world. That which in- 
variably takes generations to accomplish has been brought about in a com- 
paratively short time, being the introduction of the Baby Rambler. 
This beautiful acquisition originated at Orleans, France, and is a crossing 
of Crimson Rambler and Gloric des Polyanthus. Fortunately it preserves 
the flowering qualities of the latter, and retains the color and large panicles 
of the Crimson Rambler. 
The foliage is of a fine polished dark green, and is never attacked by 
insects or fungus. It blooms in clusters and is very continuous. The time 
of blooming of the first umbel is not ended when the adjacent branches are 
ready to open with a considerable number of flowers, so that the period of 
blooming is not interrupted until after severe frosts. This rose will be very 
popular on account of the formation of the clusters, being covered with 
flowers the whole Summer, and will be especially valuable for culture in pots. 
The Winter of 190.V1904 was the most severe experienced here in many 
years. The plants stood out in our nurseries here, during all that winter, 
without any protection whatever. Spring found these bushes alive to the tips 
of their branches. We have no hesitation in saying that the bushes of Dwarf 
Perpetual Crimson Rambler are perfectly hardy and vigorous. The plants 
grow 24 to 30 inches high. We can supply dormant field-grown plants.
