MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN ROSES, continued 
Dr. W. Van Fleet Climbing Roses 
Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 
These are not quite as free flowering as 
the bush type of Hybrid Tea Roses, but 
they produce a large crop of beautiful 
flowers in J une with a quite liberal scatter¬ 
ing of flowers throughout the season. In 
pruning these, cut out all small, thin wood 
and cut the strong shoots back only to 
prominent eyes. If pruned too hard, they 
often revert to the dwarf form. They must 
be protected in winter in cold climates. 
Climbing Etoile de Hoilande. A climbing 
form of this most popular Rose with beau¬ 
tiful, well-formed red flowers. 
Cl. Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria. Climbing 
form of this popular white Rose. 
Cl. Lady Ashtown. The best of the climb¬ 
ing Hybrid Tea varieties. Very large rose- 
pink flowers. 
Cl. Los Angeles. Beautiful, sweet-scented 
flowers of a luminous flame-pink, with 
golden coral suffusion. 
Cl. Mrs. Aaron Ward. Beautiful Indian- 
yellow flowers. 
Cl. Red Radiance. Attractive bright cerise 
flowers of splendid form; fragrant. Free 
flowering.

Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses 
As ornamental plants for covering verandas, porches, side walls, pillars, fences, etc., 
these are unequaled, calling forth more admiration than anything else that can be used. 
The large-flowered varieties require no pruning beyond the removal of very old and 
worn-out canes, and the thinning out of weak growth. Canes becoming too long may 
be shortened. The Ramblers, or small-flowered cluster type, should have the old canes 
removed at the base as soon as they finish blooming, training the new canes into place 
for next year’s bloom. 
Albertine. A most pleasing shade of cameo- 
pink, with salmon suffusion; moderately 
double, sweetly scented flowers, produced 
early in the season. Healthy, glossy foliage. 
American Pillar. The large, single flowers 
are a lovely shade of cherry-pink, with a 
clear white eye surrounding numerous 
golden yellow stamens. 
Chaplin’s Pink Ciimber. A striking nov¬ 
elty, similar in size and form to Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber but in color a rich, lively 
pink. We believe this to be one of the best 
climbing Roses to date. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber 
Cl. American Beauty. The name of this 
Rose is rather misleading, yet on its own 
merits it is an excellent climber. It has but 
one blooming setison, June, when it bears 
abundantly, large, bright self-colored, 
rose-pink flowers. 
Dorothy Perkins. Beautiful shell-pink, fra¬ 
grant and full, blooming in clusters in June. 
The most popular of all Rambler Roses. 
This is a very good Rose for covering stone 
walls, fences, embankments, and arbors. 
Dr. W. Van Fieet. One of the most impor¬ 
tant climbing Roses, having perfectly 
formed buds, long-pointed, flesh-pink in 
color and very solid. The flesh-pink flowers 
are very large, borne on long stems, fra¬ 
grant, and fine for cutting. 
Emily Gray. A real yellow climbing Rose, 
producing long-pointed buds opening to 
large buff-yellow flowers with stems long 
enough for cutting. These stems are crim¬ 
son-red in color, contrasting beautifully 
with the dark green, glossy, holIy-Iike 
foliage. Needs protection where tempera¬ 
ture goes to zero. 
Jacotte. Wonderful new yellow climbing 
Rose with bright glossy green foliage and 
sweet-scented, orange-yellow flowers. 
Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. The new 
climbing Rose from Spain. Gorgeously 
colored and exquisitely perfumed; its color 
is iridescent pearl-pink with claret-carmine 
markings on the outer petals. Perfectly 
hardy, and has large, disease-resistant foli¬ 
age. The seed-pods are an inch in diameter. 
Mary Lovett. One of the best white climb¬ 
ing Roses, producing fragrant, double 
white flowers on long, strong stems. Very 
free flowering. 
Mary Wallace. Long-pointed buds and very 
large, cupped, semi-double flowers, clear 
rose-pink in color. A strong grower and 
very free flowering. Often repeats in 
autumn. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. No other Rose in 
any class can compare with it for brilliancy 
of color, which is a vivid scarlet that is 
maintained without burning or bleaching 
until the petals fall. 
Primrose. A real hardy yellow Rambler, in 
color a light primrose-yellow, holding this 
color until the petals drop. The flowers are 
about 23 ^ inches in diameter, double, and 
are borne in trusses of from 2 to 5 on long 
stems. 
Silver Moon. An indispensable hardy 
climber having long, well-shaped buds, 
creamy yellow on first appearance, opening 
into immense clematis-like flowers of a 
waxy whiteness. The center is a mass of 
bright yellow stamens, making a wonderful 
contrast.
