FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSES 
Climbing Jules Graveraux. 
This is one of the most valuable everblooming 
climbers ever introduced. The blooms are 
immense in size, being as large or larger than 
any other rose, even exceeding J. B. Clark. 
They are perfectly double, white tinged with 
blush pink with a yellow base, in freedom of 
bloom it is superior to Mrs. Peary or Climbing 
Meteor, and should easily be first choice among 
all climbing Roses. Price, 1-year plants, 20 
cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 cts. ; extra 3-year 
plants, 60 cts. 
Climbing Clothildc Soupert. White. In 
this climbing variety we have the vigorous 
constitution of Clothildc Soupert combined 
with the same wonderful freedom of bloom and 
extreme hardiness. The color effect is magni- 
ficent — ivory-white, shading toward the center 
to silvery rose. Throughout the entire growing 
season it is literally loaded down with its 
large, handsome flowers. Price, strong mailing 
size, 3-inch pots, 10 cts.; heavy 2-year plants, 
30 cts.; 3-year, 50 cts. 
Climbing Killarney. Pink. An exact 
counterpart of Killarney, in every respect, 
except that it is a vigorous climber. This 
will prove a great garden Rose. Price, 3-inch 
pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Climbing Meteor. or^a'^rd^Tew 
Rose, the acme of all red climbing Roses. It 
is a free, persistent bloomer, and will make a 
growth from 10 to 15 feet in a season. We do 
not hesitate to place it at the head of the list 
of all Roses for summer blooming, as it will 
make a strong growth, and is literally loaded 
with flowers all the time. Price, strong plants, 
3-inch pots, 15 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Climbing Paul Neyron. Pink. One of 
the very best of all climbing Roses. An ex- 
tremely free and continuous bloomer, of very 
large size and fine pink color. Much more like 
La France than Paul Neyron in color, shape 
and blooming qualities. Would have been 
better named “Climbing La France.” Price, 
strong mailing-size plants, 15 cts.; heavy 2- 
year plants, 35 cts. 
Empress of China (The Apple-Blossom 
Rose). Red. This is a hardy climber that 
possesses great merit. It is a stropg, rampant 
grower, and a very free bloomer. Flowers of 
good size from pointed buds; soft red, turning 
lighter as it opens. It blooms from May to 
December in the open ground. Introduced 
from China. Price, strong mailing size, 10 cts.; 
2-ycar plants, 25 cts. 
White Microphylla. Flowers purest white, 
double, sweet. Price, mailing size, 10 cts., 
strong 2-year plants, 30 cts. 
Gloirc de Dijon. Amber. This mag- 
nificent Rose is always scarce and difficult to 
obtain true. The flowers are large, perfectly 
double and delightfully tea-scented; color rich, 
creamy amber, tinted with blush. One of the 
most beautiful Roses. Price, strong mailing- 
size plants, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Marechal Niel. Yellow. The world-re- 
nowned Rose. A beautiful, deep sulphur- 
yellow; very full, large and exceedingly fragrant. 
It has a climbing habit, and in a few years will 
attain a large size, yielding thousands of 
beautiful golden yellow flowers. Especially 
desirable in the South. Price, mailing size, 
from 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; fine 2-year plants that 
made 4 to 6 feet of growth last summer, 35 cts. 
Mary Washington. White. Flowers are 
of medium size, pure white, sweet, perfectly 
double to the center, and borne in endless 
numbers in large clusters all summer. Vigorous 
and rapid grower. One plant of Mary Wash- 
ington will produce more flowers and buds than 
a dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged 
with the old-fashioned musky flavor so much 
admired in olden times. My stock is prop- 
agated direct from the old plant at Mount 
Vernon, which is famous as having been planted 
by George Washington and named in honor of 
his mother. It is still a strong, vigorous bush, 
blooming profusely and demonstrating that 
the soil and climate of Fairfax are especially 
adapted to Rose-growing. Price, strong mail- 
ing size, 10 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 30 cts. 
Mrs. Robert Peary. ^Fi-rerin.! 
White. This is, without doubt, the grandest 
of all white climbing Roses. It is the first and 
only white, hardy, everblooming climbing 
Rose, and, as such, fills a demand that has 
never before been supplied. Small plants 
bloom continually the first season, just as the 
parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, does. The 
flowers are extra large, full, deep and double, 
and are produced on long, stiff stems like a 
forcing or cut-flower Rose. The buds are long 
and pointed, exquisitely modeled and grace- 
fully finished. Both in bud and flower it is truly 
beautiful. Always a wonderfully vigorous 
grower and very hardy. Price, strong mailing- 
size plants, 10 cts.; fine 2-year plants, 40 cts.; 
extra-fine 3-year plants, 50 cts. 
Revc <l'Or (Golden Chain, or Climbing 
Safrano). Yellow. A beautiful pillar Rose. 
Color orange-yellow or deep saffron; good size, 
full and sweet. I have a fine stock of this Rose, 
and recommend it highly. Price, strong 
mailing size, from 3-inch pots, 10 cts. ; fine 2-year 
plants, 35 cts.
