H ARDY CLIMBING ROSES should be planted freely and widely, not only as 
Climbers but also as pillars, for fences, walls, sloping banks, and the other uses to 
which they are particularly adapted. 
The small-flowered Ramblers (R.) bloom on shoots which arise from wood which grew 
the summer before. To have fine bloom it is necessary to save the new canes of the pre¬ 
vious year and refrain from pruning them in the spring. The proper time to prune such 
varieties is in the summer after they have finished blooming, by removing only that wood 
which has already flowered. 
Practically all the Large-flowering Climbers (LC.) bloom more freely and have better 
flowers on the older stems. Consequently, they should not be treated like the Ramblers. 
Do not prune them at all except to shorten the side-shoots which have bloomed, and to 
remove worn-out, dead, or diseased canes. If the plant becomes too large or threatens to 
become unmanageable, remove a few canes of the new wood instead of the old. 
All Hardy Climbing Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted. 
Those priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety

Iike foliage of great beauty. Flowers are creamy 
white, tinted lemon in the bud. Fragrant. 
Albertine. LC. Very large, handsome flowers of 
soft coppery pink which contrast sharply with the 
bright vermilion buds. One of the finest large- 
flowered, hardy Climbing Roses. 
Alida Lovett. LC. A plant of typical Wichuraiana 
habit with semi-double, bright shell-pink flowers 
as large as the ordinary Hybrid Teas. A very fine 
Rose, resembling in many respects the popular 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. 
American Pillar. R. A rampant grower with hand¬ 
some glossy foliage, bearing huge trusses of 2-inch, 
white, single flowers of dazzling scarlet-rose with 
large white centers and golden yellow stamens.

macrantha, making a large shrubby plant bearing 
semi-double to single flowers of clear salmon-pink 
with broad undulated petals. $1 each. 
Bess Lovett. LC. Strong-growing plant with long 
flexible canes and splendid foliage. The globular 
semi-double flowers are bright crimson-red and 
very fragrant. One of the best large-flowered 
hardy Climbers. 
Birdie Blye. See page 12. 
Blaze. See page 3. 
Bloomfield Courage. R. A rampantly vigorous plant 
which will grow 30 to 40 feet in a season and cover 
a vast area. The tiny blackish crimson flowers are 
borne in huge trusses, covering the entire plant 
with a lace-like crimson veil. It is one of the most 
distinct and beautiful of all the Rambler Roses, 
and its innumerable clusters of red berries in the 
fall add to its attractiveness. $1 each.

semi-double flowers of pale blush-pink. A very 
lovely Climber of great beauty. $1 each.

flowers occasionally marked with white flecks in 
the center. A deeper shade than Paul’s Scarlet 
Climber. $1 each.

semi-double flowers of a very brilliant pure pink 
shade, borne in great profusion by a strong husky 
Climber which makes magnificent growth the first 
season.

ancestry. The semi-double, star-shaped flowers 
are snowy white and sweetly fragrant. One of the 
finest pure white Climbing Roses. $1 each.

flowered Climber with brilliant carmine buds and 
freshly open bloom of lovely shape. The plants 
are moderately vigorous and bloom most profusely. 
Coralie. LC. An astonishingly beautiful hardy 
Climber which is not nearly so well known as it 
should be. It grows vigorously erect and has 
handsome, glossy foliage and produces large fiery 
orange-scarlet buds which open to brilliant orange- 
salmon flowers which pale to a soft shade of vivid 
flesh-pink. 
Coupe d’Or. See page 3.

surpassed this in sheer delicacy of outline or beauty 
of its brilliant color. The tiny flowers are borne 
in huge trusses.

an abundance of large, ruffled maroon-red flowers in 
tremendous clusters. The plant is very vigorous and 
remains in full flower over a period of several weeks. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. LC. Probably the best known 
and best liked of the large-flowered hardy Climb¬ 
ing Roses. It grows vigorously to almost any 
height desired and bears an abundance of long- 
stemmed, beautifully formed flowers of a soft pale 
shade of flesh-pink, equal in most respects to the 
finest Hybrid Teas. 
Dusterlohe. See page 3. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler. See page 3. 
Emily Gray. LC. A fine, vigorous Climber, none 
too hardy, with shining holly-like foliage. It bears

fragrant, golden buff flowers which do not fade 
white as most hardy yellow Climbing Roses do. 
Evergreen Gem. See page 16.
