HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
The letters “HM” following any name indicate the crossing of some everblooming 
Rose with Rosa multiflora, a native of China and Japan, distinguished by great vigor and its 
habit of cluster-flowering. The available natural form grows to a height of 6 to 10 feet and 
is completely covered in June with a mass of small white flowers in immense clusters 
The hybrids are of great vigor, of upright habit, and generally carry their fine blooms in 
great clusters. 
Other forms of climbing Roses, not so hardy as these, are in following lists* 
All these Hardy Climbing Rose^are Sl^ch, $9 0, where, noted, for strong field-grown piants.

1900.) Long, slender, pointed sulphur-yellow

Fleet but is of a much darker color and the 
foliage is even more beautiful; mildew proof. 
AMERICAN PILLAR. HM. (Van Fleet, 
1902.) Very large, handsome flowers of light, 
bright crimson, with a clear white eye surround¬ 
ing numerous golden yellow stamens. These

vigorous growth with large leaves. The flower is 
clear flesh-pink, large, semi-double, with un¬ 
dulated petals.

of good habit.

variety by reason of its brighter color and its 
habit of not holding its dead blooms. 75 cts. each.
