SUPERB 
ROSES 
34 
Climbing Wooton. A superb climbing rose, 
vigorous in growth, fine in foliage. Color 
velvety crimson. Petals thick and leathery. 
Duchess de Auerstadt. A scarce and but 
little known climbing rose, with large, 
full, gobular blooms. Deep, rich yellow 
in color and superb in form and size. 
It is as fine a flower in its particular shade 
as Marechal Neil, besides being a stronger 
grower. 
Francaise Crousse. This new' rose fills a 
long-felt want in high-colored climbers, as 
the buds are quite as dark and velvety 
in texture as Liberty, in addition to which 
they are produced in wonderful profusion. 
Reine Olga of Wurtemburg. An old, climb¬ 
ing red rose, with extra large, semi-double 
blooms. The color is much the same as 
Henrietta. A fine thing for covering per¬ 
golas, fences, etc., as the growth is vig¬ 
orous. 
Reve de Or. Unique in shades of buff and 
apricot; similar in form to the La Marque. 
One of the best climbing roses in cultiva¬ 
tion and always in demand. During the 
spring and summer months the plants 
are smothered with blooms. 
Reine Marie Henrietta. One of the finest 
red climbing roses. Flowers very large, 
bright cherry red in color and abundantly 
produced. 
Climbing La Marque. 
Gloire de Dijon. Distinct in color from any 
other climbing rose. Apricot, shaded with 
rose and salmon. 
Gloire de Margottin. A handsome climbing 
red rose, many shades deeper than the 
well-known Henrietta. It is a fine com¬ 
panion to La Marque by way of color 
contrast. Vigorous growth, with fine, heavy 
foliage. 
La Marque. Well known as one of the fin¬ 
est white varieties in cultivation. A re¬ 
markably profuse bloomer. Fine in bud 
state as a cut flower. 
Madame Driout. A remarkably new climb¬ 
ing rose, obtained as a sport from Hen¬ 
rietta in the grounds of M. Braunt, Poitier, 
France. In growth, foliage and general 
characteristics it is precisely like its par¬ 
ent. but in color it differs entirely. The 
flower is a magnificent rich, rose color, 
heavily striped with cherry red; for dis¬ 
tinctive markings it surpasses any other 
rose, bush or climber. 
Marechal Nell. This is one of the best 
and generally known climbing roses in ex¬ 
istence. Produces very large and deli¬ 
ciously fragrant, golden-yellow blooms. 
The opening buds are ideal in form and 
expand to full and gobular blooms. 
THE OLD FAVORITES 
American Beauty. Rosy crimson, shaded 
carmine, very sweet and a favorite forcing 
variety. 
Agrippina. (Bourbon.) An old, well-known 
sort. Pretty growth; best of foliage. Very 
profuse bloomer; color, dark red; lasting 
and fragrant. 
Banksia, White and Yellow. These are the 
well-known thornless climbing roses. The 
flowers are small, but bloom in great pro¬ 
fusion in spring and eariy summer. 
Baroness Rothschild. Very large flowers, 
shell pink, exquisite shape and fragrance. 
Belle Siebrecht. A superb pink rose of re¬ 
cent introduction. The buds are long and 
pointed, and when half-blown the petals 
reflex in a graceful manner. The flowers 
have great substance and the petals are 
of heavy texture. 
Bride. White, large fine buds. 
Bridesmaid. Clear bright pink: large, full, 
fragrant, and a constant bloomer. 
Clara Watson. Blush pink; buds of fine 
form; a strong grower with heavy foliage; 
very free flowering.
