RAMBLERS AND CLIMBING ROSES 
47 
Memorial (Creeping). Entirely hardy. A trailing Rose 
that hugs the ground closely, making it ideal for cov¬ 
ering embankments especially, as it soon makes roots 
all along the branches. Popular for cemetery plant¬ 
ing. The flowers are pure w'hite, single, with promi¬ 
nent yellow anthers in the center of the open bloom. 
The foliage is ample and rich green and the colored 
berries are attractive in the late fall and early winter. 
Paul’s Scarlet. A hardy Rose of the most vivid, 
bright red in any Climbing Rose. In the sunlight it is 
a real scarlet. Blooms in clusters of half-double 
flow'ers. The blooms are conspicuous both for size 
and brilliance. With hardiness considered among its 
conspicuous good points, we recommend Paul’s Scar¬ 
let as the best red Climbing Rose and one that should 
be in every garden. 
Pink, White and Yellow Ramblers. Of typical 
Rambler growth, blooming in clusters. 
Primrose. The world has w aited a long time for Prim¬ 
rose. The flowers wnll often reach a size of 2)^ inches 
across and appear in trusses of a deep primrose-yellow 
which does not turn w hite. The plant is very hardy, 
wiry, and sturdy and is resistant to all Rose troubles. 
Profuse bloomer. 
Rosella. Large blooms of vivid velvety scarlet. Comes 
early in the season and repeats thruout the summer. 
Rosella will blaze like a red light in your garden. 
thrifty grower. Flowers are borne on long stems 
making it excellent for cutting. 
Royal Scarlet. A sport of Paul’s Scarlet, noteworthy 
for its everblooming qualities. Here is a new sort 
that should be planted wdiere a long blooming season 
is desired. Equally hardy and vigorous of growth as 
its distinguished parent, it merits all the praise that 
expert rosarians have given it. Royal Scarlet w^ill 
surely please you. 
Scorcher. Australian Climber. Large, semi-single, 
.scorching red bloom produced in great quantities in 
the spring. Very vigorous Climber with healthy foli¬ 
age. 
PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMRER—One of the Very Be.i 
Silver Moon. The attractive semi-double flowers are 
43 ^ inches and over in diameter, pure white wdth a 
bunch of yellow stamens in the center, and beauti¬ 
fully cupped, having a somewhat clematis-like ap¬ 
pearance. 
Spanish Beauty or Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A 
choice cut flower of long pointed maroon buds and 
delicious fragrance. Full blowm w'hen in bloom. Color, 
carmine-pink. A vigorous Climber. Forms a colorful 
mass of beautiful flowers. 
Tausendschon. Literally, “Thousand Beauties.’’ En¬ 
tirely different from all other Roses, since it is impos¬ 
sible to say that it is of any single color; it is of many 
colors. In a single cluster of blooms, there w ill be all 
shades from light pink to red; some individual blooms 
will be almost w^hite, and now and then there is a sug- 
gp.stion of creamy yellow. The effect of one of these 
immense clusters is that of a perfectly arranged bou¬ 
quet of varied yet harmonious colors. Highly de¬ 
sirable for covering w'alls, fences, porches, pergolas. 
Rugosa Roses 
The Roses in this group are all of great hardiness; 
they are the hardiest of all Roses. They succeed in 
.Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northern New York and Maine 
and under conditions of the utmost severity. 
The Rugosa wmod is tough; the foliage is thick and 
leathery, rich dark green, healthy and persistent. For 
hedges and grouping, the Rugosas are especially suit¬ 
able, making large bushes six feet high and over. 
Where great cold is experienced, we recommend these 
Rugosa Roses; they are the hardiest and survive where 
no others will. 
Grootendorst, Scarlet. A Rose of great merit, a cross 
between Rugosa and Baby Rambler, result being that 
this new variety retains all the Rugosa qualities of 
vigor, hardiness, and foliage, with growdh shortened 
by influence of the Dwarf Baby Rambler. Grooten¬ 
dorst makes an ideal hedge through the summer. The 
only massing or hedging Rose that is hardy and ever- 
blooming. The leaves are fine, lasting through heat 
and dust, and the fine red blooms brighten the garden 
wonderfully. This fine Rose is new, distinct and dif¬ 
ferent; the only one of its kind. 
Amelie Gravereaux. F'lowers of a reddish purple 
borne in clusters throughout the entire summer on a 
very shrubby bush w ith leathery foliage. An unusual 
combination on a Rose that is perfectly hardy every¬ 
where, even to the tips of the canes. It is grown ex¬ 
tensively in North Dakota and throughout the cold 
section. One of the best Rugosas. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (A Rugosa Hybrid). The 
flowers are of great size, perfectly double, clear rosy 
pink in color. The plant makes a great grow'th, not 
rough like true Rugosa wood, nor is the foliage the 
same. Here is a Rose that combines size, color and 
quality of a Tea and everblooming habit, wdth ex¬ 
treme hardiness. t]e{)ecially recommended for every 
climate. 
Grootendorst, Brilliant. Has all the good qualities of 
the Grootendorst, the flowers being pink in color and 
greatly re.sembling carnations. Is continually in 
flower and one of the finest Roses for shrub planting. 
Hansa. Typical as to Rugosa wood and leaves, with 
fine, semi-double blooms; crimson towards purplish 
with age. The be.st double red Rugosa. Blooms con¬ 
stantly. 
Hugonis. See Hardy Shrubs. Page 30. 
Rugosa Rubra. Red Rugosa. Similar in all respects 
to the White Rugosa except in having large, single, 
bright crim.son blooms followed by equally attractive 
l>erries.
