CLIMBING ROSES 
Present-day Climbing Roses are destined to make Rose-growing uni¬ 
versal. Every one here listed is a strong grower, will endure neglect, bloom 
profusely, and after the June bloom-burst the foliage is attractive all 
summer. They may be used to cover porches, pillars, trellises and fences, 
unsightly objects, such as banks along farm-lanes, stone-piles, and ledges. 
Many other situations will suggest themselves to you as you study your 
own places. Can you picture anything more beautiful than the fence 
along the road festooned in June with beautiful Roses? 
These hardy climbers need but little attention except pruning once a 
year, which is immediately after the flowering period is over. At such time 
very old or undesirable wood is removed. New wood will replace it and 
these new growths can be stopped anywhere by pinching out the tips. 
By the judicious planting of Climbing Roses you can, at a small expense, 
increase the beauty of the home-grounds. 
Price, 50c. each, $5 per doz., except where noted. Postage extra. See page 53

foliage. Grows 8 to 12 feet high and blooms profusely in June. 60c. each. 
Dorothy Perkins. Clear cherry-pink, slightly fragrant flowers, borne in great profusion and lasting for a long time; they are 
double and the petals crinkled, which gives them a delightfully fluffy appearance. The bright glossy green foliage persists until 
frost. Fifth in the 1923 “Favorite Dozen Climbing Roses” referendum of the American Rose Society. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. The most popular Climbing Rose, according to the American Rose Society’s “Favorite Dozen Climbing Roses” 
referendum. Perfectly formed, long-pointed, deep pink buds on long stems, with several in a cluster, each expanding to about 
4 inches. A vigorous grower with abundant, dark green, glossy, disease-resistant foliage that delights the eye all summer. Grows

Climbing Rose, Dr. W. Van Fleet. Its delicate flesh-pink flowers are pro¬ 
duced in steady succession until freezing weather. The first plant to gain 
a patent in the United States under the new patent law. $1.50 each. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. The purest red of all the pillar Roses. Clusters of 
semi-double, vivid scarlet flowers shaded crimson, that retain their color 
till they fall, never turning blue. Not a very tall climber but hardy and 
floriferous. 60 cts. each. 
Primrose. (New.) Clear, light lemon-yellow flowers which do not fade white, 
and strong handsome foliage. The plant is hardier than Emily Gray, but 
the color is not so richly golden, although deeper and finer than most other 
so-called yellow climbers. There are very few yellow Climbing Roses worthy 
of the name, and by its hardiness Primrose is a marked improvement on 
the older sorts. 60 cts. each.

Gloria Mundi and reaches 6 feet in height. When in bloom it is simply

4 inches across, intensified by golden yellow stamens, are borne on long, 
stiff stems. Very strong-growing plants. 60 cts. each.
