HARDY CLIMBING AND 
RAMBLER ROSES 
As an ornamental plant for covering verandas, porches, side 
walls, pillars, fences, etc., these are unequalled, calling forth more 
admiration than anything else that can be used. They require no 
pruning in the Spring beyond the cutting out of very old or dead 
wood and shortening of the laterals and long canes to make the 
growth conform to the space to be covered, but a severe pruning in 
July directly after they have finished flowering is beneficial. Cut¬ 
ting away at that time all old flowering wood will encourage a 
vigorous growth which will give an abundance of flowers the 
following season. 
Albertine. A most pleasing shade of cameo-pink with salmon 
suffusion; moderately double, sweetly scented flowers, produced 
early in the season; healthy, glossy foliage. 75c. each. 
Alida Lovett. An extra strong sort, producing bright, shell-pink 
flowers, tinted yellow at the base and of Hybrid Tea shape and 
size. 75c. each. 
American Pillar. The large single flowers are a lovely shade of. 
cherry pink, with a clear white eye surrounding numerous golden 
yellow stamens. 75c. each. 
Aviateur Bleriot. A strong growing plant, with beautiful glossy 
disease proof foliage, bearing large clusters of medium size 
double flowers of a saffron yellow. 75c. each. 
Bess Lovett. Resembles Climbing American Beauty in shape of 
flowers but much brighter in color, being a clear bright red, 
double, full cupped form and of notable lasting quality. 75c. each. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. A striking novelty, similar in size and 
form to Paul’s Scarlet Climber but in color a rich, lively pink. 
We believe this to be one of the best climbing Roses to date. 
75c. each. 
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. 75c. each. 
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 abundantly, 
bright self-colored, medium pink flowers of moderate size. 75c. 
each. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. One of the most important climbing roses, 
having perfectly formed buds, long pointed, flesh pink in color 
and very solid. The full bloom flowers are very large, borne on 
long stems, fragrant and fine for cutting. 75c. each. 
Dorothy Perkins. Beautiful shell pink, fragrant and full, bloom¬ 
ing in clusters in June. The most popular of all climbing roses 
during the past few years. This is a very good rose for covering 
stone walls, fences, embankments and arbors. 75c. each. 
Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing rose, producing long pointed 
buds opening to large orange-yellow flowers with stems long 
enough for cutting. These stems are crimson-red in color, con¬ 
trasting beautifully with the dark green, glossy, holly-like foliage. 
75c. each. 
Excelsa. Here we have a worthy successor to Crimson Rambler, 
being equally as free flowering as that variety but without its 
unsatisfactory foliage.- Really the best double red rambler. 
75c. each. 
Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening to double flowers of 
cream color; incurves towards evening to the shape and color 
of a Cape Jessamine, hence its name. 75c. each. 
Jacotte. A wonderful new yellow climbing rose with bright glossy 
green foliage and sweet-scented orange-yellow flowers. 75c. each. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. The new climbing Rose from Spain; 
gorgeously colored and exquisitely perfumed; its color is iri¬ 
descent, pearl-pink with claret-carmine markings on the outer 
petals. Perfectly hardy, and has large, disease-resistant foliage. 
$1.00 each; $11.00 per doz. 
An Arch of Climbing Roses 
Mary Lovett. One of the best white climbing Roses, producing 
fragrant white flowers on long, strong stems. Very free flowering. 
75c. each. 
Mary Wallace. Long pointed buds and very large, cupped semi¬ 
double flowers, clear rose-pink in color. A strong grower and 
very free flowering. 75c. each. 
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. 
75c. each. 
Phyllis Bide. A dainty, exquisitely formed small bud and flower 
with reflexed petals; color pale yellow, tinted with tones of pink 
and deep rosy tips. Its graceful sprays of interesting pretty 
flowers appear intermittently throughout the season. Particu¬ 
larly nice as a pillar Rose and admired by everyone. 75c. each. 
Primrose. A real hardy yellow rambler, in color a light primrose- 
yellow, holding this color until the petals drop. The flowers are 
about 2 j /2 inches in diameter and are borne in trusses of from 
two to five on long stems. 75c. each. 
Silver Moon. An indispensable hardy climber, having long, well¬ 
shaped 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. 
75c. each. 
Tausendschoen. The individual flowers are of a most elegant 
and graceful form. In color it is a most delicate shade of soft 
pink when first opening, changing to carmine on the reverse of 
the petals when fully expanded. The flowers are produced in 
trusses, each truss almost a bouquet in itself. 75c. each. 
The Beacon. A distinct and effective bright fiery red with white 
eye, single and semi-double flowers, produced in large clusters; 
handsome foliage. 75c. each. 
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. 75c. each.
