HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
Rutherford, M J. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. 
See page 50 
DOROTHY PERKINS. HW. (Jackson & 
Perkins, 1902.) Scarcely requiring description 
because of its wide acceptance and notable 
merit. The medium-sized, very double blooms 
have peculiarly curved and curled petals of soft 
blush-pink, produced in abundance in large 
clusters on strong, vigorous, and hardy plants. 
75 cts. each. 
^ DR. HENRI NEUPREZ. HW. (Tanne,. 1913.) 
Canary-yellow, passing to dull white; vigorous 
grower; fine green foliage. 
DR. HUEY. HW. (Thomas, 1914.) Totally 
different from any other Rose in existence. Its 
semi-double flowers are dark crimson-maroon 
or deepest scarlet, and showing a small cluster 
of light yellow stamens. The flowers are large 
and. usually borne in clusters, with a blooming 
habit which means that the plant, if properly 
trained as a pillar, is an object of the utmost 
distinction for nearly three weeks. No other 
Rose approximates this American hardy climber 
in brilliant effectiveness. Never fades “blue.” 
75 cts. each. 
DR. REYMOND. HM. (Mermet, 1908.) Pure 
white with greenish white center. Double flowers. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET. HW. (Van Fleet,. 1910.) 
If but one Climbing Rose had to be considered, 
it should be this one, which combines beauty, 
vigor and adaptability to a remarkable degree. 
Its perfectly formed buds, equal to the best of 
the Hybrid Teas, are long and pointed,, deep, 
clear pink in color, and produced on individual 
long stems. As the Roses open, the color changes 
to a lighter form of pink and retains its beauty.
