TENDER CLIMBING ROSES 
Roses of this class are climbing forms of various Hybrid Teas and Teas, but a few of them have no 
dwarf counterparts. They bloom more often than the Hardy Climbers but not in such great quantity at 
one time. Their hardiness is about equal to the Hybrid Teas and Teas, although they are more trouble to 
protect in regions of severe winter because of their larger growth. They are especially recommended for the 
South and districts with temperate winters. A few of them are much hardier than the type and succeed 
farther north than would be expected. 
A little patience is required to establish them before any really good results can be expected. Unlike the 
Hardy Climbers, they bloom best on spurs from the old wood, so that they should not be pruned at all, 
except to cut back the flower-stems to one or two eyes when the bloom has fallen. If the plants become 
too big, some of the new growth may be removed, but old seasoned wood should be kept, because it is neces¬ 
sary to produce flowers. 
These Climbers are Si each, $9 for 10, except where otherwise noted

RUGOSAS AND THEIR HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability to thrive under most 
adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything except continued great heat and 
excessive moisture. 
The original species, which produces large single flowers throughout the season, is the only absolutely 
hardy everblooming Rose in existence. The hybrids are usually almost as hardy. They are distinguished by 
erect, very spiny stems growing from 5 to 15 feet, and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. 
Particularly valuable for hedges or shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very 
severe. 
All Rugosa Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10, $80 per 100, except where otherwise noted. 25 or more of one variety at the 100 rate. 
Those priced at 75 cts. each are $6.50 for 10
