Perhaps there is no one group of plants that is so useful and so beautiful in so many dif- 
ferent ways as the Climbing Roses. They are suitable for all uses to which most climbers 
may be put, and surpass almost all of them in the massed splendor of their flowers. They 
are delightful when trained over a stone wall or grouped to form a hedge-fence, when 
trained upon a rustic arbor, over a pergola, at the corners of a porch, or over a trellis about 
the windows of the house. They may adorn garden arches, gateways, fence-corners, or they 
may be tied to slim posts or pillars where they will make splendid spires of beauty through' 
out the garden. The range of color is almost limitless, and the flowers vary from tiny 
clustered rosettes to big blooms for cutting, borne on fine long stems.

Climbing Type 
American Pillar. A very lusty climber with bold, waxy foliage, bear' 
mg tremendous clusters of large, sparkling pink, single flowers with 
a round white eye and bright golden stamens. 
Climbing American Beauty. A moderate growing pillar Rose which 
blooms very early, producing very large flowers of delightful shape 
and a rare shade of light rosy crimson unlike any other. 
Dorothy Perkins. Immense clusters of tiny, exquisitely formed little 
roses of rich shelbpink in varying shades of softness and intensity. 
One of the very best climbers in vigor and abundance of blooms. 
Doubloons. (Plant Patent No. 152.) Undoubtedly the best yellow 
climber as yet introduced. It has long, heavy canes of glossy, 
lustrous foliage and produces, over a long season, large clusters of 
cup'formed, crocus-yellow blossoms. (Illustrated in color on page

Dr. W. Van Fleet. A vigorous, shining-leaved climber which pro' 
duces beautiful roses of the Hybrid Tea type on long stems suit' 
able for cutting. It blooms with the greatest profusion rather late 
in the season. The flowers are of the palest possible shade of pink, 
with a slightly darker center. 
Excelsa. Similar to Dorothy Perkins in all respects except that the 
flowers are bright, light crimson. 
Gardenia. A strong climber with beautiful foliage and rich yellow 
buds opening to creamy white flowers with soft yellow centers. 
One of the hardiest of the yellow climbers. 
Jacotte. Large, semi'double flowers of coppery yellow, tinted a cop- 
pery red. The foliage is especially handsome and resistant to 
disease. 
Mary Wallace. Another large'flowered climber of the type of Dr. W. 
Van Fleet, except that the blooms are brilliant pink with a yellow 
undertone and are borne in big clusters. It is a very fine variety, 
extremely popular for arches and pergolas. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Brilliant scarlet flowers of large size on a 
moderate growing plant suitable for tying to a post or pillar. One 
of the showiest of Climbing Roses. 
Silver Moon. A very strong climber with beautiful waxy green foli' 
age and very large, pure white, semi'double flowers with golden 
centers. 
Spanish Beauty. Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A vigorous grower with 
long crimson buds, opening to large, fragrant pale pink flowers. 
HYBRID RUGOSA AND OTHER ROSES 
Large, strong growing shrubs with handsome foliage and an abun' 
dance of flowers produced more or less frequently throughout the 
season. They are excellent for border plantings, hedges, naturalizing 
and rough ground, and many of them are especially adapted for 
planting along the ocean. In fact, handsome specimens have been 
grown in the pure sand of the Cape Cod dunes. 
PRICES OF MISCELLANEOUS BUSH ROSES: 
Dormant plants: 60c each; $5.00 per 10, except as noted. 
Agnes. Fragrant; double, yellow, amber center. 
F. J. Grootendorst. 6 ft. A perfectly hardy everblooming shrub rose 
suitable for hedges, specimens or border planting. The plant is 
similar to the vigorous Rugosa Rose in growth, with large, glossy 
foliage which is seldom attacked by insects or disease. The flowers 
are small, fringed like little carnations, and are borne unceasingly 
from early summer until late autumn. (Color illustration, page 
41.) 
Grootendorst Supreme. An improved Grootendorst with darker red 
blossoms and a bushier habit of growth. 75c each; $7.00 per 10. 
Harrison’s Yellow. 6 ft. A big, bushy Briar Rose, common in old' 
time gardens, where it blooms in great billows of bright yellow 
very early in the season. Undoubtedly the finest hardy yellow rose 
there is. and it should be freely planted for specimens, borders, 
and hedges. 
Pink Grootendorst. 6 ft. A charming, bright shell-pink variation of 
the scarlet F. J. Grootendorst, like it in all other respects and 
equally valuable. We find it very popular with those who do not 
care for the hard brilliance of the red variety.
