HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER 
INTRODUCED BY THE CONARD & JONES CO., WEST GROVE, PA. 
The Most Magnificent Hardy Crimson Climbing Rose in Existence 
U p) HILADELPHIA RAMBLER” blooms two weeks earlier than Crimson Rambler. 
* Flowers are exceedingly bright, very double, lasting and durable. Excels all 
others as a forcing rose. “Philadelphia Rambler” has spelndid flowers, 1/2 to 2 inches 
across and perfectly double. Born in grand clusters, completely covering the whole 
bush. Color, deep rich crimson, far brighter, more intense than “Crimson Rambler,” 
which has heretofore been the standard for brilliant color. The Philadelphia Rambler 
does not fade, bleach or wash out, but holds its bright dazzling color to the last, which 
adds greatly to its value. Has handsome foliage not subject to mildew, and is a most 
abundant bloomer. Undoubtedly the brightest of all Hardy Crimson Climbing Roses yet 
produced.

FARQ.UHAR ROSE —Originated in Boston, 
Mass., and is a true hardy climber or “Ram¬ 
bler.” Grows 10 to 12 feet in a season, is 
entirely hardy, has handsome foliage and 
bears immense clusters of large double 
bright pink flowers. 
“LADY GAY” 
The introducers say “this Rose is far su¬ 
perior to Crimson Rambler,” of which it is 
a seedling and which it closely resembles in 
habit of bloom and vigor of growth. The 
flowers (in large loose clusters) are of a del- 
cate cherry pink color, fading to soft tinted 
white. The effect of a plant in full bloom 
with the combination of soft white flowers, 
cherry pink buds and deep green of the foli¬ 
age is indeed charming. It is perfectly hardy 
and unsurpassed for climbing work. 2%

inch, $2.50 per dozen. 
NEW rose OK,AI ' Alba Rubifolia 
The flowers are pure white, and much of 
the foliage and young growth is bright red. 
It is appropriately named Alba Rubifolia. 
When trained up to a post or a pillar it 
soon makes a beautiful weeping bush, or it 
may be left to form a deep mat of leaves and 
flowers on the ground. It is evergreen and 
retains its foliage well into Winter, which 
adds to its beauty. Its round, thick leaves 
are so bright and glossy they shine as if 
varnished. The flowers are medium large 
and fragrant, perfectly full and double to 
the centre, and remaining bright and fresh a 
long time after opening. It is entirely hardy, 
needs no protection, always looks bright, 
cheerful and is undoubtedly the finest memo¬ 
rial rose for cemetery planting yet introduced. 
MEMORIAL ROSE EVERGREEN GEM— 
Large, double, buff yellow flowers. 
MEMORIAL ROSE DOUBLE WHITE (Mau- 
da’s Triumph) —Pure double white flowers. 
GARDEN’S GLORY 
A grand New Pillar Rose—a seedling from 
Dawson x Clotilde Soupert. It is entirely 
hardy, a strong grower, and almost thornless. 
The flowers are large, very double and borne 
in clusters. Color is deep pink and creamy 
white outside. A very desirable Hardy 
Climbing Rose. 
Dorothy Perkins 
Much has been said of this splendid new 
Hardy Climber. It grows 10 to 15 feet in a 
season, blooms in immense clusters like the 
Crimson Rambler, but the blooms are more 
double and of a beautiful shell-pink color 
passing to deep rose. 
RUBY QUEEN 
RUBY QUEEN is a very Hardy Climbing 
Rose. It is a strong vigorous upright grow¬ 
er, and is particularly well furnished with a 
glossy, green leathery foliage. The foliage 
has a peculiar but pleasing fragrance. This 
fragrance, while pleasing to mankind, seems 
to be very repulsive to insect pests, and 
makes the bush almost proof against their 
ravages. The color is different from any 
other rose, and is hard to describe. We call 
it Ruby Red, but this term only conveys a 
faint idea of the beautiful color, or how na¬ 
ture has shaded this color from lighter pet¬ 
als in the centre to darker petals outside. 
The flowers are double, medium to large in 
size, and are borne in clusters. It is recom¬ 
mended for situations where slug-eaten fo¬ 
liage is not desirable. 
MAY QUEEN 
Similar to Ruby Queen excepting that the 
flowers are larger in size, and bright pink in 
color. The flowers are unusually full and 
double and of fine form. 
PEARL QUEEN —The bush is like May 
Queen. The flowers are pure pearl white, 
with deep rose centre, large in size and very 
full and double, having exquisite form.
