These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pil¬

blers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, etc. 
AMERICAN 1*1 LL AR (Conard, 1909) — (C. P.) A sin¬ 
gle flowering variety of great beauty, which ap¬ 
peals to everyone. The flowers are of enormous 
size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade 
of apple-blossom pink, with a clear white eye and 
cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are 
borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in 
full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They 
last in perfection a long time, and are followed 
by brilliant red hips or berries, which are carried 
late into the winter; and as the plant frequently 
retains its lovely green foliage until the end of 
November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject 
throughout the autumn. A great Rose to grow 
in pots for Easter. 
BRAISWICK CHARM (Frank Cant, 1914) — (W.) 
For arches, pergolas, or for screens this variety 
is undoubtedly foremost. Deep orange-yellow 
bud shading almost to white on the outer petals 
as the flower expands. The nearest approach to 
the perpetual flowering Wichuraiana. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN REALTY (Hoopes Brothers 
& Thomas, 1911) — (H. N.) A seedling from Amer¬ 
ican Beauty with Wichuraiana and Tea blood in 
its veins. The introducers say of it: “Same color, 
size and fragrance as American Beauty, with the 
addition of the climbing habit. Good foliage and 
better blooming qualities. One plant of this new 
Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers 
in June as the old American Beauty, besides 
blooming occasionally during the summer. Blooms 
three to four inches across; has proved perfectly 
hardy and stands heat and drought as well as any 
Rose in our collection.” This Rose has already 
made its mark, and wherever it has been planted 
it has pleased, until today we sell it by the tens 
of thousands. You lose if you are slow to take 
hold of the “Climbing American Beauty.” It 
grows and blooms. 
CHRISTJNE WRIGHT (Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, 
iJi.l) — (W.) A most exquisite new Rose, a cross 
between Caroline Testout and an unnamed seed- 
lingf it is of strong climbing habit, with large, 
heavy, dark green foliage, which is immune to 
disease. The flowers are double, from three and 
one-half to four inches in diameter, borne singly 
and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the 
hud and in the fully expanded flower; in color a 
most refreshing bright wild-rose pink; it flowers 
profusely during June, and continues more or less 
throughout the season. 
GEISHA (Geschwind, 1914)—(C. H. P.) Brilliant 
scarlet-crimson. The long shoots are completely 
covered with bloom the entire length. A won¬ 
derfully pretty Rose. 
LE MEXIQUE (Schwartz, 1913) — (W.) Delicate 
silvery-rose, turning to rosy-white, reverse of 
petals light rose. Barge for its class. Flowers 
full, opening well, produced in clusters. Contin¬ 
uous and perpetual flowering. 
ORIFLAME (Paul & Son, 1914) — (C. P.) Bright 
vivid rose, suffused with coppery-gold borne in 
bunches of numerous flowers with bold fountain¬ 
like sprays. Extra. 
PINK TALSENDSCIIOEN ^ Witterstaetter, 1917)—All 
know that the only fault to find with Tausend- 
schoen is that it at times is too light in color. 
Here we have in Pink Tausendschoen the ideal 
pink Climbing Rose. The color resembles the 
well known Ulrich Brunner Rose with its famous 
cherry-red color. 
SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910) — (W.) The 
color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange shad¬ 
ings in the center. This fills the “long felt want” 
for a “Yellow Rambler.” 
SILVER MOON (Henderson, 1910) —(W.) Flowers 
very large, four and one-half inches and over in 
diameter. Pure white in color; petals of great 
substance, beautifully cupped, forming a clemat¬ 
is-like flower. The large bunch of yellow sta¬ 
mens in the center adds to its attractiveness. 
SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913)—(W.) Color 
golden-yellow. A great acquisition, producing 
large panicles of flowers. A decided beauty. 
SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912) — (Mtf.) 
Bright pale mauve or lavender, with golden sta¬ 
mens. Most distinct. Large bunches of flowers. 
WICHMOSS, or ‘T1ABY MOSS” (Barbier, 1912)—(C. 
M.) This is a wonderful break in Roses, being a 
cross between the “Wichuraiana” and “Moss 
Rose.” It has retained the scandent habit of the 
“Wichuraiana,” making long growths five to eight 
feet in length with the glazed resistant foliage, 
while the bud is heavily mossed in bright green 
and has the peculiar aromatic odor of the moss 
family. The flowers are borne in clusters that 
are a daybreak-pink in color, opening into bloom 
that is a good semi-double in fullness. A climb¬ 
ing moss is a wonder; hardy.

CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or Miss G. MESSMAN

Baby Rambler is always in bloom. This is simply 
a climbing form of Baby Rambler, embracing all 
its good qualities. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER (Turner, 1893) —(C. P.) Bright 
crimson flowers produced in large clusters of pyr¬ 
amidal form; grand variety for pillars and arches

markable delicate shade of flesh-pink on the outer 
surface, deepening to rosy-flesh in the center.

EMPRESS OF CHINA (Jackson, 1896) — (C. C.) 
Bright pink; in large clusters. 
FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD (Ludorf, 1908) —(C. P.) 
A counterpart of Crimson Rambler in every re¬ 
spect, except that it shows ever-blooming tenden¬ 
cies, many new growths being terminated •with a 
large cluster of flowers. 
FORTUNE’S DOUBLE YELLOW, or BEAUTY OF 
GLAZENWOOD (Fortune, 1845) — (H. N.) Yellow,

ifornia, where it is seen at its best, although 
suited for general planting.

yellow, cream color when open; very fragrant 
and free; early flowering. This is the hardy

about one and one-half inches across, and pro¬ 
duced in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently 
from forty to fifty flowers on a spray. In color 
it is brilliant, ruby-carmine, with a clear white 
eye and a mass of golden stamens. 
LADY GAY (Walsh, 1903)—(W.) Flowers of a deep 
cherry-pink, shading on the edge of the petals to 
a very delicate soft tone of pink. 
MADAME ALFRED CARRIERE (Schwartz, 1879)_ 
(H. N.) Pure white, suffused with vellow at base 
of petals: very free and very fragrant; fine for 
arches and pillars. In Oregon it grows to the 
roofs of two-story houses, covering the entire 
side or end of a large sized house, and simply a 
wilderness of blooms. 
MARY WASHINGTON (Origin unknown) — (Mtf.) 
Pure white, perfectly double, in immense clusters; 
fine.
