C. W. ATWATER & SON 
Pink Beauty. Large, light pink, of Radiance 
type, and remarkably free flowering. 
Radiance. One of our very finest roses, popu¬ 
lar with all. Large, beautiful silvery pink, 
fragrant flowers, produced in great abundance 
on long stems. Bush a vigorous, upright 
grower. 
Red Radiance. A sport of Radiance and 
similar to it, except the color which is rosy red. 
Rev. F. Page-Roberts. Large copper red 
buds, opening into large, fragrant yellow flow¬ 
ers, stained copper on the outside. One of our 
best and most popular roses. 
Souvenir de H. A. Verschuren. Large, light 
buff yellow with pleasing perfume. Bush hardy 
and productive. 
Vaterland. New. Described as “Flower 
large, blood-red with copper reflexes, an unusual

healthy grower with leathery foliage.”

yellow flowers that hold their color well. 
Slightly fragrant. Foliage remarkably healthy.

CLIMBING ROSES 
Most of the Climbing Roses are hardy in any 
ordinary location and can be planted in either 
fall or spring. They can be naturally divided 
into two classes: The “Rambler” type, produc¬ 
ing large, compact clusters of small roses which 
bloom in July; and the “Large-flowered” type, 
the flowers of which are like bush roses and 
are often excellent for cutting. This class 
blooms in June, nearly finishing by the time the 
“Ramblers” begin. 
RAMBLER TYPE OF CLIMBING ROSES 
American Pillar. Large single flowers of bril¬ 
liant pink with white eye and yellow stamens. 
A beautiful rose. Belongs with the Rambler 
type though it is larger and blooms earlier than 
most of that class. 
Crimson Rambler. Too well known to need 
description. 
Dorothy Perkins. Double shell pink flowers; 
small glossy green foliage. Plants of the Doro¬ 
thy Perkins class are the hardiest and strongest 
growing of any of our climbing roses. 
Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins). Flowers 
a shade lighter than Crimson Rambler. 
Hiawatha. Belongs to the Dorothy Perkins 
class. Single bright crimson flowers with 
white at base of petals and numerous yellow 
* 
stamens. 
Thousand Beauties (Tausendschon). Flow¬ 
ers varying from clear pink to nearly white on 
the same cluster; blooms earlier and flowers 
larger than most of this class. Bush almost 
thornless. 
White Dorothy Perkins. Just what the 
name implies. 
LARGE-FLOWERED CLIMBING ROSES 
Blaze. (Plant Patent No. 10.) First in¬ 
troduced for the season of 1933. Best described 
as an “Everblooming Paul’s Scarlet Climber.” 
Declared to be as hardy and vigorous in growth 
as the Paul’s Scarlet, with the same wonderful 
coloring and profusion of bloom, but the bloom¬ 
ing period extends from June to October after 
the manner of the best hybrid tea roses. 
Climbing American Beauty. Large, double, 
fragrant flowers, opening bright carmine and 
changing to pink. Moderate grower and very 
profuse bloomer. 
Dr. Huey. Medium size, semi-double flowers 
of deep crimson maroon, by far the darkest of 
any of our climbing roses. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. Large, semi-double 
blooms of pale pink, lovely both in bud and the 
open flower and fine for cutting. The foliage 
is a glossy, waxy green, beautiful even without 
the flowers. Mid-season. 
Jacotte. Large orange yellow flowers, tinted 
copper red; semi-double, moderately fragrant, 
and borne in clusters. Should be planted in a 
sheltered location. 
Mary Wallace. Large, clear pink, somewhat 
fragrant flowers, beautiful both in bud and 
open flower. A very desirable rose.
