HARDY CLIMBERS 
c RoseS hi) Bohhink & A thins 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. HW. Rather large, single 
to 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. 
Chastity. A rugged Climber reported to be of Hybrid 
Tea ancestry. The semi-double, star-shaped 
flowers are snowy white and sweetly fragrant. 
One of the finest pure white Climbing Roses. 
$1 each. 
Christine Wright. HW. A well-known reliable old 
Climber with very large flowers of exquisite wild- 
rose-pink, produced in abundance in early spring 
and occasionally in the fall. 
Climbing American Beauty. HW. Handsome large- 
flowered Climber with brilliant carmine buds and 
freshly open bloom of lovely shape. The plants 
are moderately vigorous and bloom most profusely. 
Coralie. HW. 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. In many respects it reminds us of a 
climbing form of the well-known Mme. Edouard 
Herriot. We are sure that anyone who grows it 
for the first time will be entranced with it. Illus¬ 
trated in color on page 28 . 
Coupe d’Or. See page 6. 
Dorothy Perkins. HW. Probably this dainty Rose 
is too well known to need any description, but it 
might be emphasized here that no modern variety 
has yet surpassed it in sheer delicacy of outline or 
beauty of its brilliant color. The tiny flowers are 
borne in huge trusses, making veritable garlands 
and festoons of soft pink when it is properly 
trained. 
Dr. Huey. HW. A spectacular Climber which pro¬ 
duces 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. An object of admiration through¬ 
out the entire period. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. HW. 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 6. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler. See page 6. 
Electra. HW. This Rose is generally classed as a 
Multiflora but is a wiry grower of the type of the 
well-known Gardenia, and bears clusters of soft 
yellow buds which open to rather large, semi¬ 
double, pale yellow flowers of no little beauty. 
Particularly valuable on account of its pliable, 
wiry growth. $1 each. 
Emily Gray. HW. A fine, vigorous Climber, none 
too hardy, with shining holly-like foliage. It bears 
large deep salTron-yellow buds which open to fine, 
fragrant, golden buff flowers which do not fade 
white as most hardy yellow Climbing Roses do. 
It is by far the most beautiful yellow Climber of 
this type. 
Eugene Jacquet. HW. A typical Wichuraiana 
Rambler with clusters of sweetly scented bright 
carmine flowers, borne in great abundance. 
Evangeline. HW. One of the strongest growing 
Climbers, making immense rambling growth, 
covered with excellent glossy foliage and bearing 
its soft pink single flowers in enormous clusters. 
It has a delightful rustic effect and its powerful 
fragrance will scent a large area of the garden. 
Evergreen Gem. HW. One of the oldest Wichur¬ 
aiana Climbers, much used as a ground-cover 
because of its low trailing habit. The foliage is 
almost evergreen and the small, double white 
flowers are borne in clusters. 
Excelsa. HW. This is the Rose which displaced the 
vigorous old Crimson Rambler. It makes vigor¬ 
ous, wiry growth with good glossy foliage and 
bears immense trusses of rosy scarlet flowers. 
Flame. HW. Bright salmon-pink, semi-double flow¬ 
ers of a very vivid shade. $1 each. 
Francois Guillot. HW. A very vigorous, wiry plant 
with very double, small yellow buds turning white 
as they open. $1 each. 
Francois Juranville. HW. Large semi-double flow¬ 
ers of bright ruddy pink tinged with salmon and 
yellow. One of the most striking of the older 
Wichuraiana type. $1 each. 
Francois Poisson. HW. Pale sulphur-yellow flowers 
tinged with orange in the center, becoming white 
as they expand. $1 each. 
Gardenia. HW. Extremely vigorous Climber with 
handsome foliage and rather large pale creamy 
yellow buds and blooms of delicate ivory-white, 
occasionally deeper yellow in the center. 
Ghislaine de Feligonde. HM. A stiff, upright¬ 
growing Climber of moderate vigor, bearing clus¬ 
ters of bright apricot-yellow buds opening to buff- 
yellow flowers which turn almost white as they 
expand. Blooms more or less continuously in late 
summer and autumn. A fine yellow Rambler. 
$1 each. 
Glenn Dale. HW. A strong grower of the Gardenia 
type, with lemon-yellow buds and very pretty 
creamy white flowers of handsome form. $1 each. 
Golden Climber (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James). See 
page 6. 
Henri Linger. HW. Strong-growing, glossy-leaved 
Climber with rather large, semi-double flowers of 
bright coppery orange tinged with yellow. $1 each. 
Hiawatha. HW. A very vigorous trailer or wiry- 
stemmed Climber with huge clusters of single, 
brilliant carmine flowers with white centers and 
brilliant yellow stamens. 
Huguette Despiney. HW. Unusual Climber with 
greenish white buds tipped with red, opening to 
very double, light buff-yellow flowers with red 
edges. Very fragrant. $1 each. 
lie de France. HW. Semi-double, deep pink flowers 
with white centers, looking somewhat like a double 
form of American Pillar. 
Ivy Alice. See page 6. 
Jacotte. HW. One of the best of the so-called yellow 
Ramblers. The foliage is glossy and holly-like; 
flowers large, semi-double, brilliant apricot-orange, 
opening to almost exactly the same shade as the 
old Hybrid Tea, Independence Day. A well-grown 
plant is a marvelous sight. Illustrated in color 
on page 24 . 
Klondyke. HW. Strong-growing Rambler with 
clusters of soft yellow flowers tinged deeper at the 
center, becoming ivory-white with age.
