Hardy Climbing Roses 
These Roses are necessary for the home, giving It a touch of beauty and 
calling forth more admiration than any other ornamental plants. They are 
used extensively for screening undesirable views of buildings and create most 
delightful and refreshing shade when used on porches, verandas, pillars and 
fences. All are hardy everywhere and require very little care and attention 
to produce an amazing profusion of exquisite hued blossoms. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. A sturdy, vigorous grower, absolutely 
hardy, throwing strong flowering canes in one season which are covered with 
dark, glossy foliage that is immune to disease and insects. The Roses are 3 
to 4 inches in diameter, are produced on individual stems, vivid rosy-crimson 
in color, and with the same delicious fragrance as the old American Beauty. 
LE REVE. We consider this variety the best of all yellow climbers. Golden 
yellow buds open into bright yellow semi-double flowers. A profuse bloomer, 
and probably fades the least of any yellow climber. 
MARY LOVETT. The finest of all hardy white climbers. Waxy-white, sweet 
scented, double flowers, 4 inches in diameter. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Full, double, scarlet flowers cover the entire 
bush in a solid vivid mass of flaming red. The petals do not fade like many 
climbing roses, but retain their bright color, and remain in bloom for from 
two to four weeks. 
SPANISH BEAUTY (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). A new’ type of climbing 
Rose brought to this country from Spain. The long pointed buds are crimson, 
opening to iridescent pearl-pink splashed with carmine. Large semi-double 
flowers, often measuring 5 inches across, are borne on 12 to 15 inch stems. 
One of the earliest to bloom, free flowering and fragrant, a characteristic 
which is seldom found in hardy climbers. Flowers are followed by large at¬ 
tractive fruits. Vigorous grower; resistant to disease. 
The above five varieties in thrifty. Northern growm, two-year- 
riMvEjij old, fleid grown plants, 60c each; 4 fox $1.80; 10 for $3.80, 
postpaid. « 
Rambler 
The Ramblers are a class of climbing Roses of vigorous habit w’hich pro¬ 
duce their flowers in clusters. While the individual blossoms are not large, 
the immense clusters are borne in great profusion, and make a gorgeous show¬ 
ing. You can use them on porches, arbors, arches, pergolas, clotlies-posts, 
fences and old stumps of trees. Hardy everywhere. 
BLUE RAMBLER (Vielchenblau) . Flowers rosy-lilac w’hen opening, and 
changing to a metallic blue. Covers a large porch in a single season; very 
showy. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. Flowers in large clusters; very double, with prettily 
crinkled petals; remarkably pretty pointed buds; beautiful clear shell pink in 
color, lasting a long time without fading. The best pink rambler. 
RED DOROTHY PERKINS (Excelsa). The most popular red rambler; large 
clusters of rich scarlet. 
WHITE DOROTHY. A pure white sport of the well-knowm Dorothy Perkins. 
YELLOW RAMBLER (Goldfinch). Deep yellow buds borne in large clusters, 
opening into cream colored flowers with yellow centers. A strong grower and 
a free bloomer. Fragrant. 
TAUSENDSCHOEN (Thousand Beauties). A climbing Rose which produces 
on the same plant so many different colored flowers that it is impossible to 
describe the variations, hence the fitting name, “Thousand Beauties." Blooms 
profusely; double flowers in large cluster’s. The colors run from tender rose 
through the intermediate shades of bright rose and carmine, with white and 
yellow tints showing. 
VIOLETTE. An improved form of Vielchenblau, producing large clusters of 
deep violet double flowers. 75c each; 3 for $2.00, postpaid.

A year-old, field grown plants, and all of them, with the ex¬

Everblooming 
Climbing Roses 
The Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses are ex¬ 
actly like the bush Roses of the same name, 
except that they grow in climbing or pillar 
form. They do not make as tall a vine as 
the ramblers and other thoroughly hardy 
climbers, but usually grow to a height of 
5 to 6 feet, making a fine pillar rose. Usu¬ 
ally given protection in winter and grown 
as a bush rose in severely cold climates.
