Climbing Roses 
Cherokee. The well-known single, white, spring-bloom¬ 
ing variety of the South. Foliage bright, glossy green. 
Clothilde Soupert, Climbing. (P.) This variety 
originated in our nurseries. We have cultivated it 
for ten years and can recommend it with utmost 
confidence. In color and form it is similar to its 
parent, the well-known Clothilde Soupert, but flow¬ 
ers are larger. A constant bloomer after the first 
year, as it flowers best on old wood. Vigorous 
grower, and has resisted a cold of 20 degrees below 
zero. This is a great addition to our list of Climbing 
Roses, and is becoming one of the favorites. 
Dorothy Perkins. This is said to be a hybrid of 
Wichuraiana and Madame Gabriel Luizet. It is a 
vigorous and rampant climber. The foliage is of a 
deep green, leathery texture, and remains on the 
plant nearly all winter. The flowers are from 1 to 
1 Yz inches in‘diameter, borne in clusters of from 
10 to 30, and very double, of a beautiful shell-pink. 
Remains in bloom for several weeks. A most 
Dorothy Perkins, continued 
desirable Climbing Rose. Most effective for plant 
ing on terraces and slopes. Strong, field-grown 
plants, 25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $15 per 100. 
Evergreen, or Double Cherokee. This is a double 
form of the popular Cherokee Rose. The flowers 
are 2^ to 3 in. in diameter, very double, similar 
to the White Banksia. The plant, being evergreen, 
makes it a desirable climber. Blooms in late spring. 
Lady Gay. A bright rose-pink; similar to Dorothy 
Perkins, but later, the flowers being larger and fewer 
to the cluster. 
Macartney ( Rosa bracteata). Flowers large, single, 
white, produced from June until fall. Handsome; 
almost evergreen climbing sort. Frequently used for 
hedges. 
Philadelphia Rambler. This variety is a cross between 
Crimson Rambler and the Hybrid Perpetual, Victor 
Hugo. Its color is deeper and brighter crimson, 
flowers larger and growth more erect than Crimson 
Rambler. 
Seven Sisters. This Rose is unique, the flowers ranging 
from crimson to white with all intermediate shades; 
spring bloomer. 
Tausendschon. A climbing Rose. Color on first open¬ 
ing is an unusually delicate shade of pink, changing 
to rosy carmine. 
White Banksia. The flowers of this very desirable 
Rose are pure white, violet-scented, very small, 
double, and borne in umbels of twelve to fifteen 
blossoms. 
Yellow Banksia. Identical with White Banksia in all 
particulars except the color, which is a clear sulphur- 
vellow. 
Wichuraiana (The Memorial Rose). Almost ever¬ 
green; flowers small, single, white; of trailing habit. 
Beautiful for planting on slopes and terraces, which 
it soon covers with a mass of bright green foliage. 
On account of its hardiness and glossy foliage it is 
used extensively in the North for cemetery planting. 
The plant is a strong grower.
