Tender Climbing Roses—Standard Varieties'^—Concluded 
JAMES SPRUNT (Sprunt, 1858.) (C. C.)—Deep cherry-red, 
very double and hardy. 
LAMARQUE (Marechai, 1830.) (N.)—White shaded lemon; 
large, very sweet scented ; an excellent variety. 
MADAME JULES GRAVEREAUX (Soupert & Notting, 1901.) 
(C. T.) — Deep yellow, center rosy-peach; large, full and 
very fine. 
MAMIE (Alex. Dickson, 1901.) (C. H. T.)—It is a strong 
grower with buds and flowers of the largest and most perfect 
shape and form. The color is exquisite, being a delicate 
fawn with heart of pink. One of the most beautiful of light 
colored Roses. Don't forget this Rose. It will make a place 
for itself among the leaders. 
MARECHAL NIEL (Pradel, 1864.) (C. T.)—This is the old 
standby yellow Rose in the South, where it is hardy ; indeed, 
it will bloom in any garden, but is not hardy in the North! 
Immense deep golden-yellow flowers with the deepest, richest 
tea fragrance of all Roses. Anywhere in the North this Rose 
will bloom in the garden throughout the summer. 
PILLAR OF GOLD, or E. VEYRAT HERMANOS (Bernaix, 
1895.) (C. T.)—The blooms are double to the center of the 
largest size, and come in immense bouquets of from five to 
ten blooms on a single branch, and the effect throughout the 
blooming season is a perfect sheet of color. The color, ruby- 
red suffused with golden-yellow, is a happy combination. 
REINE MARIE HENRIETTE (Levet. 1878.) (C. T.) Deep 
cherry-red. This Rose takes the lead as a climber from New 
Orleans to Philadelphia. 
REVE d’OR. or GOLDEN CHAIN (Ducher, 1869.) (N.)—Buff- 
yellow. very free bloomer, very pretty. Strong grower; will 
do well in any situation. 
RUTH VESTAL, or CLIMBING BRIDE (Origin unknown.) (C. 
T.)— A lovely pure white climbing form of the Bride. Wo 
predict a great future for this Rose. 
SOLFATARE (Boyau, 1843.) (N.)— Fine, clear sulphur-yel¬ 
low ; very fine, large shapely bud with fully double open 
flower. Extra fine. 
STRIPED REINE MARIE HENRIETTE (Madame Driout.) 
(Thiriat. 1904.) (C. T.)—A sport from Reine Marie Hen- 
riette with the same beautiful rosy-carmine flowers that are 
exquisitely striped vivid carmine ; distinct and fine. 
WILLIAM ALLEN RICHARDSON (Ducher. 1878.) (N.) -Very 
deep orange-yellow; medium size, but extremely showy and 
distinct: very attractive. 
2ELIA PRADEL (Pradel, 1861.) (N.)—Lemon-yellow chang¬ 
ing to creamy-white; very fine. 
Polyantha, or Baby Rambler Roses—Newer Varieties 
A class of miniature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover 
the entire plant with bloom all through summer and fall. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they 
are hardy. Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, Amer¬ 
ica is just beginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and anyone who attempts to handle Roses without in- 
cluding this class will bump into something real hard. They are useful, either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge 
effects. They completely hide the plant with bloom from early till late. 
BABY ELEGANCE (Hobbies, 1913.)—An elegant new “Baby 
Rose.” Has single flowers of a beautiful lilac-rose color shading 
to Irish Elegance-yellow. Long stems and free bloomer. 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN (Welter, 1911.) —This Rose was 
formerly named “Louise Welter." Its flowers are large and 
so much like Tausendschoen, that it has been rechristened 
“Baby Tausendschoen." It is a bush form of the “Climbing 
Tausendschoen” or “Thousand Beauties," having all the 
charm in the variable coloring in its flowers that its parent 
has, being firm, white, delicately flushed pink, changing to 
deep rosy-carmine. This is a splendid Rose. Try it. 
BONNIE BELLE (Hobbies, 1913.) — Enormous trusses of dark 
cherry-red flowers. Unusually long buds for a Polyantha. 
CORONET (Win. Paul, 1912.)—Yellow shaded with rose. Very 
fine and effective and quite distinct. 
DEWDROP (Hobbies, 1913.)—Cherry-red; lasts a long time, 
grows easy. A very double Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON (Poulson, 1912.) — Dark brilliant pink, large, 
full, sweetly scented. Vigorous bushy habit, most floriferous. 
JEANNY SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1913.) Delicate Car¬ 
nation-white, of regular perfect form, produced in large, 
compact clusters. Very free flowering. Charming and beautiful. 
JESSIE (Merryweather, 1909.)—This new Baby Rambler is an 
ideal Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture. The 
flowers, which are produced in huge clusters, are of a bright 
cherry-crimson color which does not fade. Superb. The 
best of all the Baby Ramblers for pot culture. 
MEADOW SWEET (Hobbies, 1913.) — Salmon-rose, streaked 
with flashy orange threads; semi-double. Very fragrant. 
ORLEANS (Levavasseur. 1910.)—The showiest and prettiest of 
all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose is of 
beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise 
or Geranium-pink with distinct showy center of pure white ; 
florets not crowded but of beautiful arrangement, making as a 
whole a charming combination that cannot be beaten. The 
color is irresistible. The plant grows like a weed and the 
flowers are nearly “immortelle" in their lasting qualities. 
We believe that they will outlast almost any other Rose in 
existence with their stiff paper-like texture. This pretty 
Rose has taken Europe by storm and will make a sensation 
as soon as known in this country. Awarded gold medal. 
POMPON DE LYON (I)ubreuil, 1913.)—Bright carmine-rose, 
of regular form, produced in large clusters. Growth robust 
and branching. Very free flowering. Extra fine. 
RODHATTE (Poulson, 1912.) (Little Red Riding Hood.) —Clear 
cherry-red, shaded deep crimson, with a lustrous finish, 
comes in immense clusters. Very vigorous and free flowering. 
Fine for massing. The growth resembles the Hybrid Teas. 
WHITE MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER ( - . 1914.) 
Identical with the pink form of that famous Rose, “Made¬ 
moiselle Cecile Brunner,” known to the cut-flower trade as 
the “Baby Pink Rose.” This variety is destined to become as 
famous for use in floral work of all kinds as its parent. 
See description of Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner. 
Polyantha, or Baby Rambler 
Including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They are Hardy. 
ANNA MULLER (Schmidt, 1907.)—This Rose is very much the 
same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of its 
flowers, which are a shiny, brilliant pink produced in the 
greatest profusion in large clusters. 
BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR (Levavas¬ 
seur, 1903.)—This is the original Baby Rambler, daddy of 
them all. It is in bloom all the time, flowers in large clusters 
of brightest crimson. It grows to a height of eighteen inches 
and hides the plant with its bloom. A most wonderful Rose. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Lambert, 
1901.)—This is surely a beauty and a great addition to the 
Baby Ramblers. Grows to a height of 20 inches and produces 
double pure white flowers in abundance. It has a fragrance 
similar to Hyacinths, of free, compact growth, and very at¬ 
tractive. It produces a sheet of white bloom that is certainly 
a sight worth seeing. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT J Soupert & Notting, 1890.) (H. Poly.) 
—Known the world over as one of the very best of all bed¬ 
ding Roses. The only rival of “Hermosa" as a bedder and 
market pot plant. The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, 
shading towards the center to bright silvery-pink. 
LE PONCEAU (Hemeray-Aubert, 1910.)—Dark red, blooms 
in large clusters. A choice variety. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (Ducher, 1880.) (H. 
Poly.)—This is the popular Baby Pink Rose. In the past 
year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popularity. It 
always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific Coast, but 
recently even in the effete East and everywhere in America 
they are planting it simply by the thousands for cut flowers. 
It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome minia- 
• ture Rose coming in sprays of three to five buds, and com¬ 
bines in beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all 
kinds of floral work. Every grower should try some of these 
— not only in the greenhouse but in his garden. It is a very 
Roses—Standard Varieties 
prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in the winter 
should be a money maker, both outdoors and under glass. 
The bud and flower are both handsome. Color blush, shaded 
light salmon-pink ; distinct and desirable. 
MOSELLA (Lambert, 1895.) (II. Poly.)—Bears large flowers 
for this class; center of flower chrome-yellow; edges of 
petals shading out to creamy-white. A fine bedding Rose. 
MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH (Levavasseur, 1907.)—One of 
the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It pro¬ 
duces in constant profusion throughout the entire summer 
its pleasing delicate pink blooms in large trusses; also ex¬ 
tra fine for pot culture. 
MARIE PA VIE (Alegatiere, 1888.)—Of good size; very full and 
double: borne in large clusters; white flushed with carmine; 
delightfully perfumed ; a great bloomer. 
PAQUERETTE (Guillot. 1876.)—This is one among the very 
first Baby Rambler Roses sent out. The flowers are very 
double and pure white. This Rose has many favorites. 
PERLE d’OR (Dubreuil, 1883.)- Nankeen-yellow with orange 
center ; very novel and beautiful. This Rose is dividing honors 
with “Mile. Cecile Brunner" as a cut flower, being planted 
very largely for this purpose. A charming miniature Rose. 
PRIMULA (Soupert, 1900.) Considered by many to be the 
most popular of the Baby Rambler Roses. Grows to a 
height of two feet. Very hardy. Always in bloom. The 
color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful car¬ 
mine-pink. For ourselves, we are very fond of this Rose. 
PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE (Soupert, 1896.) — A grand 
Baby Rambler Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a 
bright pink, flushed with yellow; extra. 
SCHNEEWITCHEN, SNOW WITCH (Lambert, 1901.)—An ideal 
sort for garden culture, having a round, compact habit, with 
very full trusses of evenly disposed flowers, which are per¬ 
fect in form and semi-double. Color Listening ivory-white, 
with golden stamens; extra.
