RAMBLERS AND CLIMBING ROSES 
Hardy Ramblers and Climbing Roses 
The Roses in this class have many valuable uses; for training on trellises, over porches, along fences and on 
embankments and to cover ugly places and make them beautiful. 
Our Climbing Roses produce a most wonderful covering of delicate fohage and delightful flowers. 
They are the easiest of ail Roses to grow. With very little care the planter of Climbing Roses is certain to be 
rewarded with a wealth of bloom. They are hardy and require little winter protection. 
Blaze (Everblooming). The first Everblooming Climb¬ 
ing Rose to be introduced into this country. It in¬ 
herits the pleasing color of Paul’s Scarlet and the 
exceptional everblooming habit of Gruss an Teplitz. 
Ver}^ hardy and is seldom out of bloom. 
Blue Rambler. Very much like Crimson Rambler in 
growth and habit of blooming in large clusters. The 
color is unique in Roses, being a reddish lilac turning 
later to a metallic blue. 
Climbing American Beauty. A flne climber with 
blooms of large size and fine shape and color. It is a 
brighter red than the parent, American Beauty, with 
flowers of as good size and fragrance. Few hardy 
Climbing Roses have blooms of large size and fullness. 
This is one of them and one of the very best. It will 
succeed in almost any situation and after becoming 
established makes a very vigorous growth. 
Crimson Rambler. The best known and the most 
popular of the Ramblers. Of good, strong growth, as 
vigorous as any, bearing great clusters of small, semi¬ 
double, crimson flowers in the spring. Probably more 
planted than any other Rose. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. Hardy and of remarkably strong 
growth, often making canes of 12 to 15 feet in a sea¬ 
son. In the quality and size of the bloom, the best of 
the Bush Roses are rivalled. The color is a beautiful 
flesh-pink; the blooms are exquisite in bud and loosely 
half-doubled when open, and of immense size. It is a 
Rose that we highly recommend. 
Dorothy Perkins. Clear shell pink and slightly frag- 
grant flowers, borne in great profusion and lasting for 
a long time. They are double and the petals crinkled 
which gives them a delightfully fluffy appearance. 
One of America’s notable Climbing Roses. The plant 
makes a very strong growth. Foliage is glossy, bright 
green and persists until cold weather. Flowers come 
in great loose clusters, each a perfect bouquet in itself. 
Emily Gray. Gorgeous yellow Climber. Immense 
golden tan and buff blooms of exquisite beauty that 
never fade. A strong-growing plant with the rich 
golden buff flowers set off by the glossy deep green 
foliage. 
Excelsa. Called the “Red Dorothy Perkins,” being, 
like that well known variety, a Hybrid of great hardi¬ 
ness and vigorous growth. The color is a fine, intense 
crimson, the blooms small like aU the Rambler class, 
double and borne in large clusters. Bright green, 
glossy foliage which does not mildew. 
Flower of Fairfield. Often called “Everblooming 
Crimson Rambler.” In color and cluster effect like 
Crimson Rambler, though not so strong a grower. A 
continuous bloomer through the summer, bearing 
large clusters of crimson blooms. 
Gardenia. The buds of this climber are a rich yellow 
opening to double, rich cream colored, beautiful 
flowers. Vigorous growth and hardiness make this 
one of the outstanding Climbers. This has long been 
the favorite yellow Climber. 
Jacotte. A new beautiful climber that is deservedly 
popular. Its very fragrant flowers of rich orarige- 
apricot, with coppery-red tints are ideal for cutting. 
Open blooms are 3 inches or more in diameter. A 
vigorous grower and very fragrant. 
Mary Wallace. One of the famous Dr. Van Fleet 
Roses. It is a real pink, which we have needed in a 
Chmbing Rose. Double flowers which are fragrant. 
Fine foliage and a very strong grower. We consider 
this one of Dr. Van Fleet’s best introductions. 
FLOWER OP FAIRFIELD 
Very popular because of its vigor^ grace and free blooming
