THREE POPULAR HARDY CLIMRING ROSES 
SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 
The lavish profusion of bloom, literally hundreds of cluster*: on each plant, their beautiful colors and exquisite fragrance render them unequaled for covering 
houses, arbors, pergolas, fences and boundary walls. They are easily grown in large pots or tubs and make splendid ornaments for porches or lawns when 
trained to form large columnar plants. Also very useful for training over large rocks or covering rough banks. 
CLIMBING

with its pollen parent, the American Beauty, and 
with the same exquisite fragrance, a quality 
rarely found in climbing Roses. Of strong habit 
of growth. Will thrive and bloom in alrhost any 
situation where a climbing or pillar Rose is de¬ 
sired. Flowers 3 to 4 inches in diameter, finely 
formed on long stems, are produced in great 
profusion. The foliage is large, deep green and

PINK HARDY CLIMBING 
ROSE DOROTHY PERKINS 
A hardy climbing Rose of American origin 
which has become a standard sort. The color 
is beautiful clear shell-pink; it blooms in trusses 
of from ten to thirty, each floret considerably 
over 1 inch in diameter, the stem to the truss 
being quite long, thus making them available for 
cutting and interior decoration. The flowers are 
fragrant and last a long time in good condition. 
The habit of the plant is robust, producing great 
long canes 8 to 10 feet in one season, when well 
established. This is unquestionably the most 
popular pink climbing Rose today. Healthy, 
hardy and handsome.

size, 50c. each, S5.00 per doz.; 3d size, from

TAUSENDSCHON 
OR “THOUSAND BEAUTIES” 
A beautiful, new climbing Rose which has 
leaped into popularity by its inherent merit and 
beauty. The name “Thousand Beauties ” is very 
appropriate and refers particularly to the wonder¬ 
ful variety of colorings found on any one plant. 
The flowers are soft pink at first, but as they 
age the most beautiful shades of carmine-rose, 
cerise, blush and soft white with a gleam of light 
yellow, soft crimson and intermediate tints; a 
combination of charming coloring, which is 
bewildering. The plant is a strong, vigorous 
grower, with profuse, glossy, deep green foliage, 
and the effect of a plant in full bloom is indeed 
charming.

size, $2.00; Second size, $1.50; Third size, from 3-inch pots, 50c. 
NEW FIERY-RED RAMBLER ROSE, EXCELSA 
A splendid, new Climbing Rose, remarkable in many ways but particularly 
in the brilliant fiery-red, or intense crimson-scarlet of the flowers. The 
intensely brilliant color is accentuated by the great masses of giant trusses 
produced on the plants, and furthermore by the contrast with the deep green 
glossy foliage. The flowers are very double; they are larger than any of the 
Rambler Roses and are borne in trusses of thirty to forty on each; the body 
of the flower is brilliant in color but towards the edges of the petals they 
light up with a wonderful scarlet-crimson. Vigorous in growth and belongs 
to the disease-proof race of Climbing Roses developed by crossing on Rosa 
Wichuraiana. (See engraving.) Price, 1st size, 75c. each, S7.50 per doz.; 
2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per do?. 
NEWER HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
American Pillar. A large, single-flowering variety which has attained 
deserved popularity here and in Europe. The flowers are 3 to 4 inches 
across, borne in great clusters and literally cover the plant. They are a 
lustrous rosy pink, with a clear white center, very attractive. The stamens 
are numerous and bright yellow, adding to its beauty. The season of 
blooming is about a month. The growth is very vigorous, the foliage is 
large, luxuriant and bright green, which is retained until late in November. 
In the fall and early winter the plant is covered with bright red seed pods 
in clusters. 
Climbing Gruss an Teplitz. A climbing form of Gruss an Teplitz. Un¬ 
questionably one of the finest climbing Roses ever introduced. The 
color when first opening is a very dark rich crimson quickly changing to 
bright scarlet, shading to velvety fiery red. The flowers are very showy 
and handsome. Remarkably healthy and vigorous; almost immune from 
all diseases. 
Climbing Richmond. A strong, vigorous climbing sport of this well- 
known and valuable rose. In all respects, excepting growth, it is 
identical with Richmond; growth vigorous and of the true climbing 
habit. It blooms very freely. The color is rich scarlet-crimson. 
Mrs. M. H. Walsh. The flowers are of the purest white, very double and 
of the largest size in the class. They are borne in large trusses and very 
freely, delicately fragrant. The foliage is a handsome dark glossy green. 
Growth vigorous. 
Mme. Hughette Despiney. It is a very healthy, vigorous grower, foliage 
rather small but very dense and a distinct bronze-green. The flowers 
are large and are very fragrant. The first row of petals show soft 
white with deep yellow at the base, with a strong shade of orange- 
yellow in the center. The bloom is borne in clusters of three to five 
flowers each. 
Shower of Gold. A seedling of Rosa Wichuraiana, very vigorous in 
growth, densely covered with beautiful, glossy foliage. This variety 
produces masses of flowers in large clusters. The color is a deep, golden- 
yellow with orange shadings in the center. It is a very promising sort, 
and fills the “long felt want” for a “Yellow” Rambler. 
Sodenia. A strong growing variety, good healthy foliage, not sus¬ 
ceptible to mildew. The color is bright carmine. The flowers are 
produced in large trusses, like the Dorothy Perkins, and in great profu¬ 
sion.
