NEW CLIMBING, or TRAILING ROSES 
The following new Iioses have been tested in our grounds and have been found distinct and desirable. 
ALBERIC BARBIER. Very strong grower, with long green branches; leaves dark green, bronzy red in the spring, glossy; flowers in 
clusters, semi-double or double, opening well. 2% to inches in diameter, of a nice creamy white and canary-yellow in the middle; buds of 
a darker yellow color; beautiful variety, tea-scented; 
flowers in May. It. W ichuraiana X Tea Shirley Hib- ---——- 
bert. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
LEUCHTSTERN. Introducer’s description: "We 
received an award of merit for this beautiful variety at 
the Temple Flower Show in 1901, where our plants 
caused quite a sensation. The flowers are single, in 
large corymbs, bright rose with a distinct white eye; 
exceedingly pretty and attractive. Foliage and habit 
resembling Crimson Rambler, excepting that it is not 
quite so vigorous; it is well suited for climbing moder¬ 
ate distances, and for forming large bushes, pillars and 
pyramids in the garden.” 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
RENE ANDRE. Very vigorous plant; branches 
green, violet-brown on the sunny side; leaves of me¬ 
dium size, dark green, glossy; flowers singly or in 
small clusters of three or four flowers; semi-double, 
2 l /u to 3 inches in diameter; buds dark saffron-yellow, 
tinted dark orange-red; petals bright saffron-yellow 
and orange-red at the base, turning pinkish white 
veined with carmine-red. Very strong scent of the 
Tea Roses; flowers in May. it. W ichuraiana X Noi¬ 
sette 1* I deale. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
WICHURAIANA RUBRA. I jonggreen branches; 
leaves medium size, glossy green; large clusters of 
single flowers, to 2 inches in diameter, bright scnr- 
let petals tinted orange-red, white at the base, numerous 
orange-red stamens; flowers in June. It. Wichuraiana 
X Crimson Rambler. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
"This interesting noveUy resulted from a cross 
between It. Wichuraiana and Crimson Rambler, and we 
doubt, if any hybrid ever showed its parentage in such 
a marked degree. The fine trusses of single flowers 
are of the rich pink color seen in Begonia (Hoire de 
Lorraine, perhaps a shade or two deeper. The foliage 
is of the bright green of Crimson Rambler, but shining 
as in It. \V ichuraiana. We should not recommend 
these hybrid Wichuraianas exclusively for ground work, 
believing them to be worthy subjects for clambering 
over old trees, rockeries, or to train over a low fence. 
The latter position is an ideal one; the long growths 
will soon reach the top and will fall gracefully over the 
other side. A rustic fence could be constructed in the 
garden for them. If about 4 feet high the view would 
not be obstructed, and when the Roses reached the 
ground they would continue their growth along the 
surface. 
"This new comer will be splendid for table decora¬ 
tion; its sprays are so light, and if gathered rather 
young and placed in a cool, shady place in water the 
flowers expand freely. The rich array of golden sta¬ 
mens is a noticeable feature of a beautiful variety, and 
there is, moreover, a delicate violet-like fragrance. 
Rosa I Vichuraiana rubra apparently inherits the late- 
flowering habit of the type, so that one may make quite 
an attractive mound of these two, the crimson variety 
trailing over a clump of roots in the center, and the 
white variety surrounding it, and nearer to the ground.” 
— Miss Jekvll, in The Garden. 
LEUCHTSTERN 
PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER. This variety is a cross between Crimson Rambler and the Hybrid Perpetual Victor Hugo, and is identical in 
all respects with the Crimson Rambler, except in color, which is a deeper, brighter and more intense crimson, which never fades out; 
and, while it is not expected to supersede the old favorite, it is a most valuable addition to our list of hardy climbing Roses. 40 cts. 
each, $4 per doz. 
STANDARD CRIMSON RAMBLER. Th is Rose, on account of its free-flowering qualities and vigorous growth, makes a beautiful object 
when grown as a standard. Fine strong plants, G feet high, $1 each. 
ROYAL CLUSTER. Similar to Crimson Rambler, but with white, sweet-scented flowers produced in large clusters. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
LORD PENZANCE’S NEW HYBRID SWEETBRIERS 
The Sweetbrier, or Eglantine, is acknowledged by all to possess one of the sweetest perfumes that nature has provided, and its deli¬ 
cious scent is the object for which it is usually cultivated. These new varieties are great improvements upon the old sorts. They are 
hybrids obtained between the common Sweetbrier and various old-fashioned garden Roses, and are possessed of the following advantages: 
Ihe flowers, which are borne in wondrous profusion, are varied in color from white, through several shades of pink, to verv dark 
red or crimson. 
For vigor of growth there is scarcely anything in the Rose world equal to them. Plants three years old have now many shoots on 
them that rise to the height of 12 feet. These, with a slightly outward bent and clothed with flowers of exquisite tints, produce a gorgeous 
effect not easily forgotten by any who have seen them. 35 cts. each. $3.50 per doz.
