Walsh’s New Hardy Hybrid Seedling, Wichuraiana 
and Polyantha Roses 
These varieties originated at Wood’s Hole. T1 hey may be properly called a new race of hardy decorative 
Rambler or Climbing Roses. Numerous awards in silver cups, medals, etc., have been given these varieties when 
exhibited in this country; they also were awarded gold and silver medals at the principal exhibitions in England. 
These Roses may be grown either on trellis or to cover pergolas or they may be trained on rustic posts, as 
specimens, in pyramid or other forms. The effect produced is marvelous. They are also suitable for growing 
in tubs as specimens for piazzas, porches, etc., as well as being useful for specimen plants for the greenhouse or 
conservatory. The beautiful foliage, hardiness, free-blooming qualities, and wide range of colors in single and 
double flowers entitle them to the honor of queen of the garden Roses. Their introduction makes it possible 
to produce effects of great beauty which could not have been created ten years ago. 
The long season of blooming is a valuable quality. The earliest bloom about June io to 15, flowering 
in succession until about August 1, and the blossoms hold on without dropping from three to four weeks. 
This is particularly noticeable in Hiawatha, Lady Gay, Delight, and Cinderella. So really the time of Roses is 
extended from early June until August. The latter part of September, Hiawatha, Delight and Coquina produce 
blooms quite freely continuing until frost takes them. 
My stock of these Ramblers is the largest in the country, and the plants I offer are two years old, strong, 
field-grown, dormant, own-root plants, that will produce bloom the first year of planting. The quality of these 
plants must not be confused with plants from two-, three- or four-inch pots. While they may grow rapidly, 
the small plants will require at least two years to produce the effect which my plants give the first year.
