Hardy Climbing and 
Rambler Roses 
(Field Grown ) 
By mail, postpaid: 2-yr., field-grown, 35c each; 3 for $1.00. 
American Pillar. One of the most valuable of the hardy 
climbers, flowering profusely in large compact clusters, bril¬ 
liant carmine-rose in color. 
Chapin’s Pink Climber. One of the finest pink pergola 
climbers ever found. Large flowers, and a long season 
bloomer. 
Climbing* American Beauty. This climbing form of the 
famous pink Rose, so long the American favorite for cut¬ 
ting, is as lovely and fragrant and deeply pink as the bush 
form. The hardy climber blood with which it is crossed 
gives healthy, perfect foliage and a strong climbing habit 
of growth; the super-abundant bloom in prime before the 
June show of the bush type. 
Crimson Rambler. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. Dark 
red ; one of the very best for porch work and lattice work. 
Doctor W. Van Fleet. One of the newer type of climbers 
which combines absolute hardiness with flowers large as in 
the Tea and Noisette classes. This variety shows a mass 
of beautiful clustered buds, which open out into large, 
shapely flowers ; delicate flesh-white. 12 to 18 inches long. 
Dorothy Perkins. A beautiful shell-pink climbing Rose. 
This is the finest Rose for hedging 
and arbors of any we have ever 
seen. 
Dr. Huey. (New). Blackish red, 
of velvety nature, heavy bloomer, 
big grower; worthy of a trial in 
anyone’s garden. 
Bxcelsa. This has superseded the 
old Crimson Rambler. It is vigor¬ 
ous in growth with healthy dark 
glossy green foliage. The flowers 
are very double, produced in large 
trusses. Color is intense crimson- 
maroon ; tips of petals tinged with 
scarlet. 
Gardenia. The tight, very numer¬ 
ous little yellow buds are beautiful 
in early summer, the flowers open¬ 
ing up creamy white, jasmine- 
scented. 
Jacotte. Quite distinct in this class ; 
not only fragrant, but is rich in 
heretofore unknown color shades. 
The bud is orange-yellow ; the 2%- 
inch flower (clustered up to 10) 
is light salmon-orange shaded red 
and yellow. Foliage is dark green. 
Mary Wallace. (New). Although 
a good pillar Rose, it becomes self- 
supporting and makes an ideal 
dooryard bush. The flowers are 
semi-double, bright clear rose-pink 
with salmon base. These are often 4 inches wide—and appear inter¬ 
mittently during the season, following their first glorious outburst 
in late spring. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. This new variety is the aristocrat of 
the Climbing Roses. Its beautiful flowers are of ap enormous size 
and in color are an iridescent pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. 
Delightfully fragrant. Hardy vigorous grower with large disease- 
resistant foliage. 
Aline. Gregoire Staechelin 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Winner of Gold Medal 
of National Rose Society’s Exposition, Flowers 
are scarlet-shaded crimson; corresponds to 
Climbing American Beauty, Dr. W. Van Fleet 
and others as to size and beauty. Blooms long, 
an excellent variety for pergola work, and one 
of the best climbers sold. 
Primrose. A pure yellow, hardy Climbing Rose. 
Its large, double flowers are a soft rich prim¬ 
rose-yellow and are borne in clusters of four 
and five on an extremely vigorous plant, with 
beautiful foliage. 
Silver Moon. 4- to 5-inch semi-double flowers; 
pure white with thick clusters of yellow sta¬ 
mens. 
Tausendschon (Thousand Beauties). A rapid 
growing, almost thornless climber, showing 
the blood of Rambler, Polyantha and Tea 
parentage. Its innumerable flower 
clusters make a pretty show in 
June and July. At first the soft 
pink of Clotilde Soupert, and later 
deepening to a bright carmine- 
rose. Very vigorous climber.
