CLIMBING ROSES 
Most useful on every place on account of their strong, climbing habit. 
They may be trained on porches and trellis, used on old trees and posts, trained to 
tall bushes in the shrubberies, and as a covering for old and unsightly outbuildings. 
Though they bloom but once a year, their handsome glossy foliage renders them 
attractive at all seasons. (See plate on page 131.) 
PRAIRIE ROSES 
Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, turning white; blooms in clusters. 
Grevillea, or Seven Sisters. The flowers, of light rose changing to 
white, are borne in clusters. 
Prairie Queen. Flowers double, red, and in clusters. One of the best 
climbers and bloomers. 
Rosa setigera. The Prairie Rose. Is the parent of many of our popular 
climbing varieties and one of the most useful. It is of rapid growth, with 
foliage large and clean. The single flowers of deep rose are produced in 
masses through late June and July. It is unsurpassed for covering steep banks 
and hillsides. (See plate on page 121.) 
RAMBLERS 
Crimson Rambler. No introduction of recent years has given so much 
satisfaction and been so largely planted as this grand Rose. It is a perfectly 
hardy and exceptionally strong grower, frequently making shoots of 10 to 15 feet 
in length in a single season. The brilliant crimson flowers arc borne in clusters, 
retain their color well and remain a long time. (Sec plate on page 121.) 
White Rambler. Thalia. A perfectly hardy, vigorous climber, with 
white flowers. 
Yellow Rambler. Aglaia. Perfectly hardy, of vigorous growth, bearing 
trusses of fragrant semi-double flowers. 
EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
The Everblooming or Monthly Roses are the only really constant bloomers we 
have. They begin to bloom early in the season or almost as soon as planted, and 
continue all through the summer and autumn months until stopped by the freezing 
weather. They bloom and flourish luxuriantly in all parts of the country from 
Canada to Mexico. The flowers are of beautiful form, fullness and delight¬ 
ful fragrance, embracing all the lovely shades and colors that Roses ever assume. 
Should be protected well in the winter with a covering of leaves, evergreen boughs 
or straw. 
HYBRID TEAS 
Captain Christy. Flesh. Delicate fleshy white, the center richer in color, 
very large and full ; most useful early and late. (See plate on page 132.) 
Caroline Testout. Rose. Bright satin-rose, with brighter center, large, 
full and globular ; very free and sweet; a valuable Rose. 
Cheshunt Hybrid. Cherry-red. Beautiful cherry-red, large and full; 
very free-flowering, and useful for climbing.
