The Anemone Rose, a hybrid of R. Sinica 
and a Tea Rose, has large light pink 
flowers 
The Yellow Rambler, a fragrant cousin of the 
well known Crimson Rambler, blooming for 
three weeks 
Hiawatha, a hardy climber. The petals are 
ruby-crimson, the center white and the 
anthers yellow 
for covering waste ground, stumps of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, 
rocky slopes, gravelly embankments, and will flourish where other 
roses could not possibly live. They are very floriferous and 
delightfully fragrant. 
Roses adapted to arches are also useful for training over 
porches, pillars, or trellises, and will do well wherever they can 
have support. Among the old hardy Climbing Roses that are 
widely known in this connec¬ 
tion are the time-honored fav¬ 
orites —the Baltimore Belle, 
Prairie Queen, Pride of Wash¬ 
ington and the Tennessee 
Belle, but no Rose was ever 
more highly esteemed for this 
purpose than the Crimson 
Rambler, although rosarians 
justly consider the Dorothy 
Perkins as much superior, for 
its flowers are much more 
beautiful, being of a dainty 
shell-pink color and they last 
a very long time. But when 
our friend the rose-grower 
asserts that they do not fade, 
1 am constrained from my 
own experience to disagree. 
However, as the Crimson 
Rambler does the same thing 
I do not see that it makes any 
difference. Tausendschon, a 
comparatively recent intro¬ 
duction among the hardy 
climbers, is a beautiful novelty 
of the Crimson Rambler type. 
It blooms from the first of 
June until the beginning of 
August. The flowers are 
about the size of Clothilde 
Soupert, soft pink, changing 
to rosy carmine. The foliage 
is very handsome and not 
subject to disease or attacks 
by insects. 
Among the Hedge Roses, we need only consider the Japanese 
Rosa Rugosa and its hybrids. They combine hardiness with 
freedom from disease, and elegance of foliage with beauty of fruit. 
They make impenetrable hedges, splendid screens, and for single 
specimens, clumps, and cemetery decoration have no equals. 
The colors of these Roses are red, white, and pink. 
If large flowers are desired the tyro rosarian’s choice should 
fall upon the Paul Neyron, 
Ulrich Brunner, Frau Karl 
Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, 
and the La France, whereas 
the reverse may be obtained 
by means of the aptly-named 
Miniature, and the Gruss an 
Teplitz. The latter is also 
sometimes marketed under the 
name of the Virginia R. Coxe. 
A CLASSIFICATION BY 
COLOR 
It may be desired to ar¬ 
range the Roses in accordance 
with their colors, in which case 
the following lists will prove 
of service: —• 
Pink — Magna Charta, 
Paul Neyron, Mrs. John Laing, 
Killarney, Maman Cochet, Re¬ 
liance, La France, Catherine 
Mermet, Clio, Baroness Roth¬ 
schild, Mrs. Sharman - Craw¬ 
ford, and Anne de Diesbach.

not, Ulrich Brunner, Prince 
Camille de Rohan, Gruss an 
Teplitz, and Dr. O’Donel

White —Frau Karl Drusch¬ 
ki, Molly Sharman-Crawford, 
the White Killarney, and 
Clothilde Soupert. 
Yellow— Franceska Kru¬ 
ger, Lyon, and Soleil D’Or. 
Even if you have not the time to care properly for a whole rose garden, 
have at least a few of the hardy climbers to arch a path or cover a wall
