NEW CLIMBING, or TRAILING ROSES 
The following new Roses 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 3% 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. Wichuraiana 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. 
RENf: ANDRfi. 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% 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. Wichuraiana X Noi¬ 
sette 1'ldeale. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
WICHURAIANA RUBRA. Longgreen branches; 
leaves medium size, glossy green; large clusters of 
single flowers, \% to 2 inches in diameter, bright scar¬ 
let petals tinted orange-red, white at the base, numerous 
orange-red stamens; flowers in June. R. Wichuraiana 
X Crimson Rambler. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
"This interesting noveFy 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 flue trusses of single flowers 
art* of the rich pink color seen in Begonia Gloire de 
Lorraine, perhaps a shade or two deeper. The foliage 
is of the bright green of Crimson Rambler, but shining 
as in It. Wichuraiana. 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 Wichuraiana 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.”
