New Roses for 1897. 
The New Climbing Rose, YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). 
The Only Hardy Yellow Climbing Rose Yet Introduced. 
A Worthy Connpanion to the Wonderful Crimso i Rambler. 
This rose, we are confldent, is an even more valuable intro- 
duction than the Ckimson Rambler. It was originated by the 
prominent German rose-grower, Mr. Peter Lambert, who has 
carefully tested it for some eight years, and first offered it to the 
public only this last season. Its production is a very great 
triumph in the art .of hybridizing. Rosaiians have for many 
years been crossing or hybridizing various roses with a view to 
obtaining a hardy yellow climbing rose, but the combination of 
climbing habit and yellow coloring with hardiness was one that it 
seemed impossible to obtain. Repeated efforts were made to secure 
It. and the Yellow Ramblek represents the most complete success 
ever attained by any one. 
It is perfectly hardy. It has been found to successfully with- 
stand, witliout protectioi!, a continued temperature of from zero to 
two degrees below. 
It Is similar to Crimson Rambler in foliage, habit of growth, and 
manner of blooming, and is undoubtedly of the same parentage. It 
is a vigorous grower, well established plants often making shoots 
from eight to ten feet in height in a siugle season. The flowers are 
borne in immense clusters after the same manner as Cbimson 
Rambler, often as many as 150 blossoms in a bunch, and the 
trusses have the same handsome pyramidal sliape as those of 
CiRiMSON Rambler. The flowers also have the same lasting quality, 
remaining in bloom three to four weeks without fading, a largo bush 
in full bloom forming one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. 
It differs from Crimson Rambler in color, the flowers of this va- 
riety being a dear, dec.UUd yellow. Tlie blossoms whicli are of 
moderate size, cup-sliaped, and of very pretty form, are very sweetiv 
scented, making It superior to CiuMSON Rambler in this respect, lln^ flowers of that variety not being fra- 
-fil'; , bloom at quite so early an age as CHrMSON Rambler, but make up for this as soon 
grant, inu |.nim,s uu uoi uioom ai, quite 80 early an 
as well established, by the magnificence of the flow.'rs they produce. 
Strong young plants, 2%-inch pots, 35c. oacli, $3.50 per dozen, 
each, $5.00 per dozen. 
Extra strong plants, 3%-inch pots, 50c. 
The Yellow Clothildc Soupert, MOSELLA. 
A new Rose of exceptional merit, a fitting companion to those flne bedding varieties, Clothilde 
Soupert and Pink Soupert. Mosella is a beautiful light yellow, shading to a light buff in the centre and 
creamy white towards the ends of the petals. Like the "Soupert," it is dwarf and bushy in habit but is 
hT-*? graceful. It blooms in clusters, full, double flowi^rs of large size, and flowers most abundantly 
With these valuable traits it cannot fail to b(i,-onie very pojiuiar. Price, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz
