HARDY CLIMBING 
ROSES 
The Four Best Rambler Roses 
Two-year-old plants 50 cts. each, $5.00 per 
doz. 
In the race for popularity no Rose has ever 
made such a wonderful record as the Crimson 
Rambler, which has now been on the market 
for over 10 years, and is likely to remain at 
the head of the list of hardy climbing Roses. 
The other Rambler varieties are described in 
some catalogues as counterparts of the Crim¬ 
son, except in color, but they will not bear 
such close comparison, as their flowers lack 
quality and finish. They are, however, en¬ 
tirely distinct and excellent Roses, and de¬ 
serve a place in every garden. 
Crimson Rambler. A vigorous grow¬ 
er, making shoots 10 to 20 feet in height in a 
single season, and when in bloom commands 
admiration by the gorgeous display of its 
brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms, each 
cluster a bouquet in itself. This marvelous 
prodigality is not unusual with it, as it suc¬ 
ceeds everywhere. The blooms remain on 
the plant for a great length of time without 
losing their brightness ; the foliage is also re¬ 
tained to a great extent, during the winter, 
making the plant almost evergreen. It is 
perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. 
Pink Rambler (Euphrosyne). This Rose 
is as charming as any of its rivals, embracing all their good qualities of 
hardiness, vigorous growth, profuse blooming and delightful fragrance. 
White Rambler (Thalia). This charming new Rose climbs 
rapidly, is entirely hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white 
flowers, perfectly double and of delightful fragrance. 
Yellow .Rambler (Aglaia). The only hardy yellow* climbing Rose 
in cultivation, and as such, is almost indispensable. It is identical with 
Crimson Rambler, except flowers, which are deep golden yellow and 
very fragrant.
