(Cl. H. T.) (A. Dickson & Sons, 1897). A climb¬ 
ing sport of Kaiserin Augusta Viktoria, which

JACOTTE—(H. W.) (Barbier, 1920). Bright 
orange-yellow, tinted coppery red. Very lovely, 
full blooms of moderate fragrance. Vigorous, 
healthy grower, with beautiful foliage throughout 
the season. One glorious burst of bloom in early 
summer. Hardier than most yellow-tinted 
climbers, and well worth protection in exposed 
locations. (Note: Stock short. Please give 
second choice.) 
Very highly honored by being placed in Class 
One, among six newer climbing roses, in 1933 
American Rose Annual “representing varieties 
which have received widespread approval with no 
cpi’iniK pr*i , f i r»i gjtyi ’ 9 
MARECHAL NIEI^-(FradeI, 1864.) (Noisette 
rose from Isabella Gray). Deep golden yellow. 
Lovely buds open to full flowers of fine form 
and great fragrance. Has enjoyed great popu¬ 
larity in the general South and Pacific Coast 
for 70' years but requires careful and utmost 
protection elsewhere. Vigorous in growth, but 
extremely tender. 
Included in the favorite dozen of climbing 
roses in all three years of 1922, ’23 and ’24, by 
the Gulf Coast district, and in 1922 and ’24* in 
the Pacific district, in the referendum among 
members of American Rose Society. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER—(H. W.) (W. 
Paul & Son, 1916). Bright scarlet crimson. 
The color is so intense and vivid that it should 
not be planted close to any other climbers except 
those of cream, white or yellow tones. While 
a vigorous, strong and healthy grower, neverthe¬ 
less, it is not as tall growing as many climbers 
of its class and should be pruned moderately. Fine 
buds open to beautiful, semi-full blooms of ex¬ 
cellent form that do not fade and are very long- 
lasting. Literally a sheet of brilliant bloom from 
three to five weeks in early summer. 
Unquestionably the most popular red climbing 
rose for everyone, everywhere in all sections of 
the country. Included in the favorite dozen of 
climbing roses in all three years of 1922, ’23 and 
’24 for each and every one of the seven districts 
in which the country was divided, in the referen¬ 
dum among members of American Rose Society. 
Ellison’s Selected Polyantha Roses 
ELLISON’S SELECTED POLYANTHA ROSES—This class is frequently called by various names, 
such as “Sweetheart Roses”, “Baby Roses”, “Baby Rambler Roses”, etc. They are low-growing, most 
of them growing from 15 inches to perhaps 2 feet in height. They are healthy and vigorous but small. 
Their main feature is their habit of blooming profusely throughout the season. They are excellent 
for low-massing effects, or for using as a border in beds of Hybrid-Teas, and particularly Hybrid- 
Perpetuals, as they help hide their long legs. Prune them merely to keep in bounds. Clip the faded 
flowers for best bloom. 
MISS EDITH CAVELL — (Meiderwyk, 1917.) 
(Sport of Orleans rose). Oxblood red. Semi-full 
and cupped in form. Continues blooming. Does 
not fade or blue in heat. Healthy and vigorous 
in growth to 18 inches in height. Slight, if any, 
fragrance. 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF—(Teschendorff, 1911.) 
(Sport of Mme. Norbert Levavasseur). Deep red. 
Small, semi-full blooms. Free-flowering. Blooms 
in clusters all season. Slight, if any, fragrance. 
Vigorous and healthy grower to 18 inches. 
KATHARINA ZEIMET—(P. Lambert, 1901.) 
(Etoile de Mai crossed with Marie Pavic). Pure 
white. Full but small flowers that bloom in 
large clusters. Healthy, fragrant and vigorous 
to 18 inches. A continuous and faithful bloomer. 
The flowers fade in extreme heat. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST—(Hybrid-Rugosa.) (De 
Goey, 1918.) (Rosa Rugosa crossed with a Poly¬ 
antha rose). Bright red. Full but small flowers 
borne in clusters. It retains all the extreme hardi¬ 
ness, fine vigor and excellent foliage of the 
Rugosa, combined with the ever-blooming habit 
of the Polyantha. Fine for mass effect or for 
hedges. Strong, vigorous and free-blooming. It 
grows to a height of of 4 to 6< feet and about 
the same in diameter. It can be kept trimmed or 
pruned within bounds. Excellent to be used at 
the ends of rose beds, or for a border in front 
of Hybrid-Perpetuals. In pruning, best to re¬ 
move only 1 the dead and surplus branches. In a 
hedge, they will need little pruning, but gradu¬ 
ally will spread and become unkempt, but at that 
time they can be cut right off six inches from 
the ground and will come out with fine, new 
growth that is everything that can be desired.
