Gold of Ophir bears a Profusion of Apricot and Old Gold Flowers. 
Few plants will provide as much beauty and color as Climbing 
Roses. Every garden has a place for one or more. Those varieties 
with HT after the name are Climbing Hybrid Teas, thriving any¬ 
where on the Pacific Coast or in the Southern States, but usually 
requiring some protection in severe winter climates. 
See the New Climbers for 1937 listed on the previous page. 
The Best Red Climber 
Climbing Etoile de Hollande. We can truthfully state that, 
in our opinion, this is the finest red flowered everblooming 
climber. A good strong grower, with plentiful foliage, it pro¬ 
duces some of the finest big red buds and open flowers that 
we have ever seen on any Rose, and the blooms, as they 
frequently are in the case of climbing sports, are larger and on 
longer stems than the bush Etoile de Hollande and possess the 
same delicious fragrance. $1.00 each. 
Climbing Cecil Brunner. Poly. This famous climbing Rose, 
with its great quantities of perfect little miniature pink buds 
and flowers, is a favorite in California and will continue to be 
such. Exceedingly vigorous, with dense handsome foliage. You 
can cut a bouquet of beautiful buds from it almost any time in 
the year. 75c each. 
Climbing Golden Datvn 
Climbing Golden Dawn. The big, golden yellow, fully dou¬ 
ble blooms of Golden Dawn have become exceedingly popular 
in the bush form, and it is our pleasure to offer this vigorous 
climbing sport of that variety, which will produce quantities of 
the fine large blooms on a climbing plant. We think it is one 
of the finest of yellow climbing Roses, if not the best in its 
color. It blooms exceedingly profusely in the spring and has a 
good many flowers thereafter right up to late fall. The foliage 
is plentiful and handsome, and it has just about everything 
that a yellow climbing Rose would be expected to have, includ¬ 
ing a splendid fragrance. Plant patent Applied For. $1.00 each. 
Climbing Feu Joseph Looymans. Anyone who knows the 
long apricot-yellow buds of this splendid Rose will like this 
climber. There is no difference between this and the bush form 
except that the climber has bigger flowers and more of them 
and covers a lot of space. 75c each. 
Countess of Stradbroke. A recent Australian introduction, 
with large, well shaped, dark velvety crimson flowers, unfading, 
with a sweet damask fragrance. 75c each. 
Climbing Dame Edith Helen. Great full flowers of glowing 
pink, delightfully fragrant. 50c each. 
Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Rich velvety scarlet buds and 
flowers, long-stemmed and fragrant. 50c each. 
Climbing Mme. Edouard Herriott. The same sensational cop¬ 
pery coloring of the Bush Herriott. Flowers produced in great 
profusion. 50c each. 
The Gigantic Belle of Portugal 
Climbing Hadley 
Belle of Portugal. HG. There is no more vigorous grower among Roses 
than this variety and 10 or 12 foot canes the first season are to be expected, 
so give it plenty of room. The amazingly beautiful salmon-pink buds are also 
gigantic in size, often 3 and 4 inches in length. Do not expect it to bloom 
the first year after planting because it is too busy growing, but thereafter be 
prepared to admire it for it is a mass of bloom from January to June in 
California. See illustration on opposite page. 75c each. 
Black Boy. HT. One of the finest red climbing Roses. The blooms are 
large, double, very fragrant, deep velvety crimson, shaded blackish maroon 
and scarlet. A tall rampant climber and the blooms are excellent 
for cutting. 50c each. 
Augusta Hordes. Medium sized cherry-red blooms borue m great 
profusion on an extremely vigorous long-caned and bushy climber, 
which, however, may easily be held at 8 feet if desired. This is a 
climbing form of the Baby Rose, Lafayette. 50c each. 
Banksia Yellow. A rampant grower, spreading all over the 
place, festooned in the spring time with a profusion of little button- 
like yellow flowers. Absolutely thornless. 75c each. 
Banksia White. Same as Banksia Yellow but with white flowers. 
75c each. 
Blaze. Exactly like Paul's Scarlet Climber, but in addition to 
producing great masses of vivid scarlet-red blooms in the spring 
it produces occasional clusters of flowers throughout the growing 
season. It has not lived up to its advance notices, but it is a 
good Rose just the same. Can be trained as a bush, large shrub 
or climber. Plant Patent No. 10. $1.00 each. 
Bloomfield Dainty. We think that its exquisite, single, golden 
yellow blooms, which have a little tint of bronzy-pink on the out¬ 
side edge of the petals, are just about the daintiest and loveliest 
Roses of their kind. A strong grower with clean lustrous foliage 
which keeps blooming all through the season. 75c each. 
Bloomfield Dawn. A pink climber with beautifully shaped buds 
in a rich shade of verbena-pink, opening to semi-double flowers 
with wine-red stamens. The flowers last a long time on the bush 
and have long stems for cutting, while the fragrance is exceedingly 
rich and spicy, possibly more so than any other climber in our 
list. Cut and taken into the house, they will perfume the entire 
room. 75c each. 
Cl. Hadley. Those who like the 
bush variety will be able to find a 
place for this vigorous climbing 
sport, which will produce many 
times the number of beautiful vel¬ 
vety red flowers in a season that 
can be produced on the bush. 50c. 
DAINTY BESS 
The Climbing Form Described 
at Left, the Bush on page 58. 
Climbing Dainty Bess 
Climbing Dainty Bess. For years those Rose lovers who admire 
so much the dainty, single, amber-pink flowers of Dainty Bess have 
been asking for this variety in a climbing form. It is available now 
and comes up to all expectations. If you like this variety in a 
bush, and almost everyone does, imagine having a large climbing 
plant of it covered with hundreds of blooms instead of a half a 
dozen. It blooms all through the season, too. The flowers are 
illustrated at the right. $1.00 each.
