GOLDEN CLIMBER 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 23 
(Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James) 
A new departure in hardy climbing Roses, the first true 
golden yellow climber of quality bloom, able to withstand 
sub-zero temperature without injury. 
The most interesting and unusual feature is that the re¬ 
sistance to sub-zero temperature is combined with blooms of 
Hybrid Tea type and quality, most always solitary on long 
stems often 18 inches in length. 
The plant does not bloom itself out in one short outburst 
but the buds appear and bloom in succession for a long season; 
after the first bloom the plants show continued floral activity 
and recurrent blooms come forth, when the plants are well 
established. 
The color in the bud is true golden yellow with heavy 
markings of orange-scarlet showing between the sepals, these 
splashes gradually disappear and the full open flower is solid 
golden-yellow, semi-double with a heavy cushion of yellow 
stamens, the petals are unevenly ruffled, beautifully crinkled 
and informally curled. The Roses are long lasting as cut-flowers 
or on the bush and exhale at all times a delightfully delicate 
fragrance. Of extreme vigor and handsome foliage the plant 
will soon cover a large area, whether on a fence, trellis, wall or 
pergola. 
Strong two-year-old plants, $2.00 each; $20.00 per dozen. 
THE NEW DAWN 
The Everblooming Dr. Van Fleet. A sport from Dr. 
Van Fleet which is acknowledged to be the best and most 
popular American Climbing Rose. This new variety is 
identical in every way with the parent in size, formation of 
flowers and color, but flowers continuously during the 
entire season. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each. 
HARDY CLIMBING AND 
RAMBLER ROSES —(Continued) 
American Pillar. The large single flowers are a lovely shade of 
cherry pink with a clear white eye surrounding numerous 
golden yellow stamens. 
Aviateur Bleriot. A strong growing plant with beautiful glossy 
insect and disease proof foliage, bearing large clusters of medium 
sized double flowers of a saffron yellow color. 
Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American Beauty in shape of 
flower, but much brighter in color, being a clear bright red, 
double, full cupped form and of notable lasting quality. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. A striking novelty, similar in size and 
form to Paul’s Scarlet Climber but in color a rich lively pink. 
Christine Wright. A beautiful rose of strong climbing habit, 
producing double flowers 3 to 4 inches in diameter, singly and 
in clusters, of a wild rose pink. 
Climbing American Beauty. The name of this rose is rather 
misleading, yet on its own merits, it is a splendid climber. It 
has but one blooming season, June, when it bears very abun¬ 
dantly, a very bright self-colored, medium pink flower. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. One of the most important climbing roses, 
having perfectly formed buds, long and pointed, deep pink in 
color and very solid. The full blown flowers are very large, 
borne on long stems, fragrant and fine for cutting.

blooming in clusters in June. This is a very good rose for 
covering stone walls, fences, embankments and arbors.

in color a beautiful light orange-yellow, changing to pale 
orange as they expand.

green foliage and sweet scented orange-yellow flowers. $1.00 
each. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. The new climbing Rose from Spain;

descent, pearl-pink with claret-carmine markings on the outer 
petals. Perfectly hardy, grows 12 feet or more in height and 
has large disease-resistant foliage. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. No other rose in any class can com¬ 
pare with it for brilliancy of color, which is a vivid scarlet that 
is maintained without burning or bleaching until the petals fall. 
Primrose. A real hardy yellow rambler, in color a light primrose- 
yellow, holding this color until the petals drop. The flowers are 
about 2]/2 inches in diameter and are borne in trusses of from 
two to five on long stems. The plant is of vigorous climbing 
habit, with dark healthy foliage and is very free flowering. 
Silver Moon. An indispensable hardy climber having long well 
shaped 1 buds, creamy yellow on first appearance, opening into 
immense Clematis-like flowers of a waxy whiteness. The center 
is a mass of bright yellow stamens, making a wonderful contrast. 
White Dorothy. A handsome pure white sport from the old 
favorite Dorothy Perkins and it has all of the finer qualities 
found in that charming variety. 
ROSA HUGONIS (Golden Rose of China) 
This Chinese native is a notable contribution to American 
gardens. Every branch of the previous year’s growth is, in late 
April or early May, closely set on both sides to the very tip with 
exquisitely beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers. The long, 
arching sprays make Hugonis not only a beautiful shrub, to be 
planted, if one so prefers, with other shrubs, but when cut are 
charming as table decorations. 
This “Golden Rose of China” is ruggedly hardy every¬ 
where in America. It needs neither protection nor pruning, 
save in the occasional cutting out of the older shoots. Do not 
plant it among Roses as it is too vigorous in growth to fit in 
such a planting. 75c. each. 
Prices on any of the above Roses (except where noted), 75c. each; per doz., $7.50; $60.00 per 100. 
This includes free delivery to any address in the United States. 
6 Roses supplied at the dozen rate, 25 supplied at the 100 rate. 
Fall planted Roses start growing in the Spring without any interruption
