Rambler Roses 
CRIMSON RAMBLER — This is truly 
a remarkable and unlooked for novelty 
among hardy climbing Roses. It is a 
vigorous, rapid grower, making shoots 
10 to 20 feet in height in one season. For 
verandas, walls, pillars, and fences it is 
a desirable plant. 
YELLOW RAMBLER —This is the 
only hardy yellow climbing Rose in cul¬ 
tivation. It is becoming as popular as its 
renowned relative,Crimson Rambler, with 
which it is identical, with the exception of 
the flowers, which are deep golden yellow. 
DOROTHY PERKINS — A charm¬ 
ing and very' \aluable Rose of American 
origin, producing clear, shell pink, double 
Roses in clusters that are very lasting. 
It is a strong grower, very hardy and a 
marvelously profuse bloomer. Being 
superior to the Pink Rambler and of the 
same color, we have discarded the last 
named variety. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS—This 
sort was originated from seed of the variety 
Rose Wichuraiana, hybridized with pollen 
from that grand old rose, Mine. Gabriel 
Luizet. The seed parent was chosen for 
its hardiness and vigorour habit of growth, 
the pollen parent for its beautiful color. 
The plants are perfectly hardy, having 
withstood a temperature of 20 below 
zero uninjured. The flowers ore of large 
size for this class of Rose; usually about 
\Vi inches across, are borne in clusters 
of ten to thirty. Its buds are remarkably 
pretty, just the right size for the button 
hole. Plants are strong, vigorous growers. 
Its foliage is deep green of thick leathery 
texture. It is almost on evergreen variety. 
BALTIMORE BELLE — Pale blush, 
becoming nearly white; compact and 
fine; the blooms are produced in clusters; 
the growth, though rapid, is slender and 
graceful.
