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 addition to our list of Climbing 
Roses, and is becoming one of the favorites. 
Crimson Rambler. A vigorous-growing climbing 
Rose, producing 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 
Wiehuraiana 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 
iH 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 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. 
Macartney (Rosa bracleata). 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 
Ciimson Rambler. 
Trier. Semi-double, creamy white flowers; produced 
freely and continuously in large clusters. Far su¬ 
perior to White Rambler. 
Wiehuraiana (The Memorial Rose). Almost ever¬ 
green; flowers small, single, white; of trailing habit. 
Beautiful fer 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.
