Hardy Climbing Roses 
These Roses are necessary for the home, giving it a touch of beauty and 
calling forth more admiration than any other ornamental plants. They are 
used extensively for screening undesirable views of buildings and create most 
delightful and refreshing shade when used on porches, verandas, pillars and 
fences. All are hardy everywhere and require very little care and attention 
to produce an amazing profusion of exquisite hued blossoms. 
LE REVE. We consider this variety the best of all yellow climbers. Golden 
yellow buds open into bright yellow semi-double flowers. A profuse bloomer, 
and probably fades the least of any yellow climber. 
MARY LOVETT. The finest of all hardy white climbers. Waxy-white, sweet 
scented, doublfe flowers, 4 inches in diameter. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Full, double, scarlet flowers cover the entire 
bush in a solid vivid mass of flaming red. The petals do not fade like many 
climbing roses, but retain their bright color, and remain in bloom for from 
two to four weeks. 
SPANISH BEAUTY (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin). A new type of climbing 
Rose brought to this country from Spain. The long pointed buds are crimson, 
opening to iridescent pearl-pink splashed with carmine. Large semi-double 
flowers, often measuring 5 inches across, are borne on 12 to 15 inch stems. 
One of the earliest to bloom, free flowering and fragrant, a characteristic 
which is seldom found in hardy climbers. Flowers are followed by large at¬ 
tractive fruits. Vigorous grower; resistant to disease. 
BLUE RAMBLER (Vielchenblau). Flowers rosy-lilac when opening, and 
changing U> a metallic blue. Covers a large porch in a single season ; very 
showy. 
RED DOROTHY RAMBLER (Excelsa). The most popular red rambler; large 
clusters of rich scarlet. 
YELLOW RAMBLER (Goldfinch). Deep yellow buds borne in large clusters, 
opening into cream colored flowers with yellow centers. A strong grower and 
a free bloomer. Fragrant. 
Climbing American Beauty 
THOUSAND BEAUTIES (Tausendschoen). A climbing rose which produces 
on the same plant so many different colored flowers that it is impossible to 
describe the variations, hence the fitting name, “Thousand Beauties.” Blooms 
profusely; double flowers in large clusters. The colors run from tender rose 
through the intermediate shades of bright rose and carmine, with white and 
yellow tints showing.
