HARDY CLIMBING AND OTHER ROSES 
27 
Roses should be planted in the spring just as 
soon as the ground can be worked, and carefully 
handled, as they are plants that need attention 
when planted. Select a good sunny location where 
the soil is well drained, and should the soil be 
heavy or clayey, some sand should be put with it. 
A good plan is to take out the soil from 18 inches 
deep to 2 feet, and in the bottom place from 10 to 
12 inches of well-rotted cow manure and sod, then 
place the black dirt that was taken out on top of 
this. 
HARDY CLIMBING OR RAMBLER ROSES 
The following varieties are highly valued for 
training over arbors, trellises and verandas; also 
as screens for unsightly objects, such as old build¬ 
ings, fences, walls, etc. They grow ten to twelve 
feet high. 
Except patent rose, Blaze, any of the following 45c and up 
BLAZE (Plant Patent No. 10). The new hardy ever- 
blooming Scarlet Climber. A marvelous, hardy, everbloom- 
ing scarlet-red rose, combining the bloom and growth of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber with the everblooming character of 
Gruss an Teplitz. Blooms are double and often four inches 
in diameter. Each $1.00. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. A free climber. This 
variety retains the deep pink to crimson color and the same 
fragrance of the bush American Beauty ; grows to a height 
of Gfteen feet; perfectly hardy, blooming freely in June and 
July and occasionally throughout the season. 
CHAPLIN’S PINK CLIMBER. A rich double pink variety 
of late introduction. The blooms are a lively pink with just 
a touch of salmon when first expanding. Makes a most ef¬ 
fective color display unequaled by any other variety of this 
type. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. This variety is so well known 
that it needs little description. The foliage is a rich dark 
green, the growth rapid and diverse. During June and July 
the plant is covered with clusters of the brightest crimson 
flowers which remain on a long time. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. A very popular pink variety of 
today, and as hardy as the Crimson Rambler. The flowers 
are borne in clusters and are full-double; the petals are very 
prettily rolled back and crinkled ; the color is a most beauti¬ 
ful shell-pink and holds a long time without fading. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. The most popular of all 
climbing roses. None can compare with it for brilliancy of 
color. The blooms are a vivid scarlet, of large size, pro¬ 
duced in clusters of from three to twenty flowers on a long, 
strong stem. A strong grower and perfectly hardy. 
PRIMROSE. A real pure yellow hardy climbing rose. Its 
large double flowers are a rich primrose yellow and are 
borne in clusters of four and five on an extremely vigor¬ 
ous plant with beautiful dark green, somewhat crinkly 
foliage. Moderately fragrant. 
WHITE DOROTHY. A pure white sport of the well- 
known Dorothy Perkins, of the same habit of growth and 
Ireedom of flowering. A splendid companion for the pink 
variety as it flowers at the same time. A most valuable 
addition to this class.
