Climbing Roses 
Cherokee. The well-known single, white, spring-blooming 
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 flowers 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 addi¬ 
tion to our list of Climbing Roses, and is becoming one of the 
favorites. 
Crimson Rambler. A vigorous-growing climbing Rose, pro¬ 
ducing a profusion of small, crimson flowers in trusses. It is a 
most showy plant while in bloom, during April and May. 
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$ inches in diameter. Borne in clusters of from 
10 to 30, and very double, of a beautiful shell-pink color. 
Remains in bloom for several weeks. A most desirable new 
climbing Rose. Most effective for planting on terraces and 
slopes. Strong, field-grown plants, 25 Ct6. each, $2 for 10, 
$15 per 100. 
Lady Gray. A new and most valuable variety of remarkable 
vigor. Flowers of a delicate cerise-pink, fading to soft tinted 
white. When the plant is in full bloom, it is most pleasing, 
Very desirable for covering banks and terraces, and can also 
be trained as a climber. 
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. 
Wichuraiana (The Memorial Rose). Almost evergreen; 
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.
