Choice Hardy Climbing Roses 
T HEY are most various, these Climbing Roses, both in their unparalleled beauty and their easy adaptability to many 
situations and uses. Use them for covering or screening objectionable objects; for decorative arches, or to cover 
summer-houses or garden-seats; on a trellis at the porch or trained about an entry or a window. Let them clamber 
along a fence or twine about a pergola, or even make a hedge of them by tying in and clipping back the branches. Anyone 
with a square yard of ground at his disposal can have one splendid Climbing Rose upon it, and it is doubtful if he could 
put the ground to any better use. 
Best of all, perhaps, is to grow them as pillars, which takes the least space; and anyone who likes Roses will want to 
crowd as many of them as he can into his garden. To make a pillar, plant a stout, straight post with the Rose, and train 
the plant straight up to the top, or wind it about the support, keeping it cut off at the top, and the stray shoots tied in 
or cut off. The second season after planting, the pillar will be a mass of flowers from top to bottom and an object of admira¬ 
tion and delight to everybody. 
All Hardy Climbing Roses, unless otherwise noted, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $65 per 100 
Blaze. HW. Plant Patent No. 10. A marvelous, everblooming 
seedling of Paul’s Scarlet Climber and Gruss an Teplitz. This is 
probably the most famous Climbing Rose ever produced, and has 
aroused unparalleled attention from coast to coast. It makes 
vigorous growth, producing huge clusters of moderately large, 
blazing red flowers in the early summer, and continues to bloom 
with unusual freedom throughout the season until freezing weather. 
$1 each; $10 per doz. 
Dorothy Perkins. Famous and beautiful, old Dorothy is still 
among the best. Very vigorous, with lovely waxy foliage and great 
clusters of frilly, shell-pink flowers, tiny but exquisitely shaped, 
it has a place in the affections of every flower-lover that nothing 
else can fill. Unequaled for covering arches, trellises, and summer¬ 
houses, and useful wherever a rapid-growing screen or cover is 
needed. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. The flowers are of the palest possible shade of 
flesh-pink, with a slightly darker center, and they are likely to 
acquire deeper color late in the season, as it blooms over a long 
period and frequently throws a few flowers in late summer and 
fall. Unquestionably it is the most popular Climbing Rose in 
the country today. 
Easlea’s Golden Rambler. Plant Patent No. 114. Large, well- 
formed, double flowers of rich deep golden yellow with a sheen 
of light orange. The flowers are arranged in large clusters 
and their desirability is greatly enhanced by their pleasing 
rich fragrance. It proved entirely hardy last winter. $1.50 each; 
$15 per doz. 
Emily Gray. This is a lovely golden yellow Climbing Rose with 
large, beautifully formed flowers and handsome, shining foliage. 
It is a wonderful and almost unbelievable sight when in full bloom, 
and people invariably go into ecstasies over it. Unfortunately, it 
requires winter protection in cold climates, but if it is grown as a 
pillar it can be easily wrapped with burlap or covered with a few 
boughs to shelter it through coldest seasons. 
Gardenia. A fine, very vigorous climber with beautiful shiny 
Wichuraiana foliage and lovely, long-pointed, yellow buds opening 
to medium-sized flowers of creamy white with rich yellow centers. A 
very beautiful Rose in the garden and a delightful flower for cutting. 
Jacotte. Large, semi-double flowers of orange-yellow, tinted copper- 
red, borne in clusters. Strong, profusely blooming plant. The 
blooms measure 3 inches and over in diameter. Early to mid¬ 
season. One of the sensational new Roses carrying the brilliant 
orange color into the Hardy Climbers. 
Mary Wallace. Queen of the large-flowered pink climbers and re¬ 
garded as the best of its class. The blooms are large and cup-like, 
glowing pink, with a golden undertone, and are borne in clusters 
at the ends of long stems. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. This superb new climber has rapidly 
come into highest favor for the supreme beauty and lavishness of 
its glorious ruffled flowers. The long-pointed buds are crimson 
as the sepals divide, then the firm outer petals show splashes of 
carmine as the flower opens, with an iridescent pearl-pink inside, 
and it is richly perfumed. 
Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James (Golden Climber). HW. Plant 
Patent No. 28. Here is the finest, hardiest, and most reliable 
golden yellow Climbing Rose ever introduced into this country. 
Plants have all the enormous vigor of the famous Mary Wallace 
and are apparently as hardy as any of the popular Climbing Roses. 
The flowers are large and shaped identically like the finest Hybrid 
Teas. They open rich golden yellow and remain without serious 
fading for several days. $1.50 each; $15 per doz. 
New Dawn. Plant Patent No. 1. A sport from Dr. W. Van Fleet 
which is universally acknowledged as the best and most popular 
American Climbing Rose. This new variety is identical in every 
way with its parent in size and formation of its flowers, color, etc., 
but blooms continuously throughout the summer and fall months. 
The first good Everblooming Climber introduced. $1.50 each; 
$15 per doz. 
Paul's Scarlet Climber. Not so vigorous as other climbers, this 
striking Rose is ideal for growing as a pillar, over which it will hang 
its clusters of large, well-formed shining scarlet flowers in greatest 
profusion. One of the most spectacular of Roses, it is becoming 
widely known and tremendously popular. 
Primrose. A strong, vigorous grower and as hardy as Dr. W. Van 
Fleet and similar varieties. The light primrose-yellow flowers, 
about 2H inches in diameter, are borne in trusses of from 2 to 5, 
on long stems. The plant is of vigorous, climbing habit, and is a 
noteworthy addition to the yellow Climbing Roses. 
Princess van Orange. Plant Patent No. 106. This is a sensational 
new climbing sport of Gloria Mundi. It has strong growth and 
rich green foliage. Its branches are literally covered with masses 
of blazing orange-scarlet flowers in great trusses. The most 
talked-of European climbing novelty in many years. $1 each; $10 
per doz. 
Silver Moon. Tremendous vigor and excellent polished foliage 
commend this Rose, even without the attraction of its tapering 
golden white buds and its magnificent, semi-double, saucer-like 
flowers of purest white, illumined at the center with a giant frill 
of golden stamens. 
ROSA HUGONIS 
A fine shrub Rose which is perfectly hardy anywhere and which does best if planted in poor soil and neither pruned nor fed. The 
plant grows about 5 to 6 feet tall, with slender, arching branches of an interesting shade of brownish red. The foliage is very small and 
fern-like, making an attractive shrub when not in bloom. Flowers are of a soft yellow, single, about 2 inches in diameter, deliciously 
fragrant, and appear all at once very early in the season. A plant not showing a bloom one day will be covered with flowers the next 
morning. It makes a wonderful lawn specimen, or when planted close is a perfect Rose-hedge. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.
