CLIMBING 
RAMBLER ROSES 
Crimson Rambler 
Mine. Gregoire Staechelin 
AIiIDA LOVETT. (H.W.) Both 
buds and flowers are large; of 
ideal form, are held on stiff stems 
1^/2 to 2 feet long and the color is 
a lively bright shell-pink with 
shadings of rich sulphur at the 
base of the petals. The flowers are 
of remarkable substance and long- 
lived, whether cut or left to re¬ 
main upon the plant, and are 
pleasantly perfumed. 
AMERICAN PILLAR. The single 
flowers range from 2 to 3 inches 
in width, arranged in mammoth, 
evenly rounded clusters. Brilliant 
carmine-rose, with distinct creamy 
white sector and yellow stamens 
at center. A superb arch cover. 
BESS LOVETT. Large, fairly full 
flowers of light crimson-red, cup¬ 
shaped, and borne in long-stemmed 
clusters suitable for cutting; 
sweetly fragrant. 
CHAPLIN’S PINK CLIMBER. 
One of the finest pink pergola 
climbers ever found. Large flow¬ 
ers, and a long season bloomer. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. This climbing form 
of the famous pink Rose, so long the American favorite for 
cutting, is as lovely and fragrant and deeply pink as the 
bush form. The hardy climber blood with which it is crossed 
gives healthy, perfect foliage and a strong climbing habit 
of growth ; the super-abundant bloom in prime before the 
June show of the bush type. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. Plant a vigorous, hardy climber. 
Dark red ; one of the very best for porch work and lattice 
work. 
DOCTOR W. VAN FLEET. One of the newer types of 
climbers which combines absolute hardiness with flowers 
large as in the Tea and Noisette classes. This variety shows 
a mass of beautiful clustered buds, which open out into 
large, shapely flowers ; delicate flesh-white. 12 to 18 inches 
long. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. A beautiful shell-pink climbing 
Rose. This is the finest Rose for hedging and arbors of 
any we have ever seen. 
DR. HUEY. (New.) Blackish red, of velvety nature, heavy 
bloomer, big grower ; worthy of a trial in anyone’s garden. 
EUGENE JACQUET. Fragrant, cherry-red flowers borne 
profusely in very large clusters. 
EXCELSA. This has superseded the old Crimson Rarnbler. 
It is vigorous in growth with healthy dark glossy greep fo¬ 
liage. The flowers are very double, produced in large trusses. 
Color is intense crimson-maroon ; tips of petals tinged with 
scarlet. 
By mail, postpaid: 2-yr., field-grrown, 
35c each; 3 for $1.00. 
GARDENIA. The tight, very numerous little yellow buds are 
beautiful in early summer, the flowers opening up creamy white, 
jasmine-scented. 
HIAWATHA. (H .W.) Its flowers are about 1% inches across, 
and produced in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from 
40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In color it is brilliant ruby-carmine, 
with a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens. 
JACOTTE. Quite distinct in this class; not only fragrant, but 
is rich in heretofore unknown color shades. The bud is orange- 
yellow ; the 21/^-inch flower (clustered up to ten) is light salmon- 
orange shaded red and yellow. Foliage is dark green. 
MARY WALLACE. (New.) Although a good Pillar Rose, it 
becomes self-supporting and makes an ideal dooryard bush. The 
flowers are semi-double, bright clear rose- 
pink with salmon base. These are often 4 
inches wide and appear intermittently dur¬ 
ing the season, following their first glorious 
outburst in late spring. 
MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN. Th s 
new variety is the aristocrat of the Climb¬ 
ing Roses. Its beautiful flowers are of an 
enormous size and in color are an iridescent 
pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. Delight¬ 
fully fragrant. Hardy, vigorous grower 
with large disease-resistant foliage. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. Winner 
of Gold Medal of National Rose Society’s 
Exposition. Flowers are scarlet shaded 
crimson ; corresponds to Climbing American 
Beauty, Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as to 
size and beauty. Blooms long, an excellent 
variety for pergola work, and one of the 
best climbers sold. 
PRIMROSE. A pure yellow, hardy Climbing 
Rose. Its large, double flowers are a soft 
rich primrose-yellow and are borne in clus¬ 
ters of four and five on an extremely vig¬ 
orous plant, with beautiful foliage., 
SILVER MOON. Four- to five-ineji, semi¬ 
double flowers; pure white with thick.clus¬ 
ters of yellow stamens. ! ' 
SHOWER OP GOLD. (H.W.) The color is 
a deep golden yellow with orange shadings 
in the center. This fills the “long-felt 
want” for a Yellow Rambler. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS. Pure 
white, compact clusters. 
Jacotte 
Allen’s Roses Bloom Better.
