Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Roses (Field Qrown) 
By mail, postpaid: 2-yr., field-grown, 35c each; 3 for $1.00. 
American Pillar. One of the most valuable of the hardy climbers, flowering profusely in 
large compact clusters, brilliant carmine-rose in color. 
Baby Rambler. Red, a dwarf form of Crimson Rambler, flower similar to Crimson Rambler. 
Is used generally for flower pots. Is very handsome. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. One of the finest pink pergola climbers ever found. Large flowers, 
and a long season bloomer. 
Climbing' American Beauty. This climbing form of the famous pink rose, so long the 
American favorite for cutting, is as lovely and fra¬ 
grant and deeply pink as the bush form. The hardy 
climber blood with which it is crossed gives healthy, 
perfect foliage and a strong climbing habit of 
growth ; the super-abundant bloom in prime before 
the June show of the bush type. 
Crimson Rambler. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. 
Dark red: one of the very best for porch work and 
lattice work. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet 
Doctor W. Van Tleet. One of the newer type of 
climbers which combines absolute hardiness with 
flowers large as in the Tea and Noisette classes. 
This variety shows a mass of beautiful clustered 
buds, which open out into large, shapely flowers; 
delicate flesh white. 12 to 18 inches long. 
Dorothy Perkins. A beautiful shell-pink climbing 
rose. This is the finest Rose for hedging and arbors 
of any we have ever seen. 
Dr. Huey. (New). Blackish red, of velvety nature, 
heavy bloomer, big grower ; worthy of a trial in any¬ 
one’s garden. 
Excelsa. This has superseded the old Crimson Ram¬ 
bler. It is vigorous in growth with healthy dark 
glossy green foliage. The flowers are very double, 
produced in large trusses. Color is intense crimson- 
maroon; tips of petals tinged with scarlet. American Beauty 
Gardenia. The tight, very numerous little yellow buds 
are beautiful in early summer, the flowers opening up creamy white, jasmine-scented. 
Jacotte. Quite distinct in this class : not only fragrant, hut is rich in heretofore un¬ 
known color shades. The bud is orange-yellow; the 2 1 J-inch flower (clustered. up 
to 10) is light salmon-orange shaded red and yellow. Foliage is dark green. 
Mary Wallace. (New). Although a good pillar rose, it becomes self-supporting and 
makes an ideal dooryard bush. The flowers are semi-double, bright clear rose-pink 
with salmon base. These are often 4 inches wide—and appear intermittently during 
the season, following their first glorious outburst in late spring. 
Mme. Gregfoire Staechelin. This new variety is the aristocrat of the climbing roses. 
Its beautiful flowers are of an enormous size and in color are an irridescent pearl- 
pink, splashed with carmine. Delightfully fragrant. Hardy vigorous grower with 
large disease-resistant foliage. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Winner of Gold Medal of National Rose Society’s Exposi¬ 
tion. Flowers are scarlet-shaded crimson ; corresponds to Climbing American Beauty, 
Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as to size and beau¬ 
ty. Blooms long, an excellent variety for pergola 
work, and one of the best climbers sold. 
Primrose. A pure yellow, hardy climbing rose. 
Its large, double flowers are a soft, rich primrose- 
yellow a nd are borne 
in clusters of four 
and five on an ex¬ 
tremely vigorous 
plant, with beauti¬ 
ful foliage. 
Silver Moon. 4- to 
5-inch semi-double 
flowers; pure white 
with thick clusters 
of yellow stamens. 
Dorothy Perkins 
Tausendschon 
(Thousand Beau¬ 
ties!. A rapid grow¬ 
ing, almost thorn¬ 
less climber, show¬ 
ing the blood of 
Rambler, Polyantha 
and Tea parentage. 
Its innumerable 
flower clusters make 
a pretty show in 
June and July. At 
first the soft pink of 
C1 o t i 1 d e Soupert, 
and later deepening 
to a bright carmine- 
rose. Very vigor¬ 
ous climber.
