TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR THE HOME 
Climbing and Rambler Roses 
The Rambler or cluster type Roses are entirely hardy and need no winter pro¬ 
tection. We mark such varieties (R) below. Those that are hardy climbers with a 
similarity to the hybrid or perpetual types, we mark (C). For the trellis, porch or 
arbor, the Climbing Roses produce a most wonderful covering of delicate foliage 
and delightful flowers. They are hardy and require little winter protection. 
Rambler 
type 
American Pillar. (C.). The large, 
single flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, 
are of a lovely shade of pink with a 
white eye and clusters of yellow sta¬ 
mens. The blooms are borne in im¬ 
mense bunches and a large plant in 
full bloom is a beautiful sight. 
Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, nearly 
white; double; the best white Climb¬ 
ing Rose. 
Climbing American Beauty. (C.). This is a leader 
in Climbing Roses. Strong, vigorous grower with large 
flowers of reddish pink, freely produced and nationally 
popular. 
Crimson Rambler. (R.). Hardy, famous everywhere; 
most effective when grown on pillars or trellises. Foli¬ 
age large and glossy; vigorous grower; panicles of 
bloom large and perfect for weeks. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. Probably the best Climbing Rose in 
cultivation. Perfectly formed, long-pointed, deep pink 
buds on long stems with several in a cluster that open 
a lighter shade of pink, expanding to about 4 inches. 
It is a vigorous grower with abundant dark green glos¬ 
sy, disease-resistant foliage, that is a delight to the 
eye all summer. 
Dorothy Perkins. (R.). Clear shell-pink and slightly 
fragrant flowers, borne in great profusion and lasting 
for a long time. They are double and the petals 
crinkled, which gives them a delightful fluffy appear¬ 
ance. One of America’s notable Climbing Roses. The 
plant makes a very strong growth. Flowers come in 
great loose clusters. 
Excelsa. (R.). Called the red “Dorothy Perkins,” be¬ 
ing like that well-known variety, a Wichuraiana Hybrid 
of great hardiness and vigorous growth. The color is 
a fine, intense crimson; the blooms small like all the 
Rambler class, double and borne in large clusters. 
Bright green, glossy foliage which does not mildew. 
Flower of Fairfield. (R.). Often called “Everbloom- 
ing Crimson Rambler.” In color and cluster effect 
like Crimson Rambler, though not so strong a grower. 
A continuous bloomer through the summer, bearing 
large clusters of crimson blooms. 
Hiawatha. (R.). Very hardy and vigor¬ 
ous climber, bearing in large clusters 
Climbing 
type 
pure 
small single flowers of dazzling red with 
white eye. Free bloomer. 
Paul’s Lemon Pillar. This is a pillar 
Rose of the same type as Climbing 
American Beauty; color lemon-white. 
Of grand size and form and early flow¬ 
ering. The individual bloom is consid¬ 
ered the finest of any Climbing Rose 
yet introduced. 
Paul’s Scarlet. (C.). A new hardy Rose of the most 
vivicTbright red in any climbing Rose. In the sunlight 
it is a real scarlet. Blooms in clusters of half-double 
flowers. The blooms are conspicuous both for size and 
brilliance. With hardiness among its conspicuous good 
points, we recommend Paul’s Scarlet as the best Climb¬ 
ing Rose; should be in every garden. 
White Dorothy Perkins. A pure white sport from 
Dorothy Perkins with which it is identical in foliage 
and habit. 
Pink Rambler. (R.). Of typical Rambler growth, pink 
and blooming in clusters. 
White Rambler. (R.). Bears large clusters of 
white, double flowers. Good, strong growth. 
Yellow Rambler. (R.). Of Rambler habit as to growth 
and cluster-blooming but with double flowers of yel¬ 
low shading to creamy white as the blooms age. 
Silver Moon. (C.). The attractive semi-double flowers 
are 434 inches and over in diameter, pure white with 
a bunch of yellow stamens in the center, and beauti¬ 
fully cupped, having a somewhat clematis-like appear¬ 
ance. 
Tausendschon. (R.). Literally, “Thousand Beauties.” 
Entirely different from all other Roses, since it is im¬ 
possible to say that it is of any single color. It is of 
many colors. In a single cluster of blooms there will 
be all shades from light pink to red; some individual 
blooms will be almost white, and now and then there 
is a suggestion of creamy yellow. The effect of one of 
these immense clusters is that of a perfectly arranged 
bouquet of varied, yet harmonious, colors. 
Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose). Creeping. Entirely 
hardy. A trailing Rose that hugs the ground closely, 
making it ideal for covering embankments especially, as it 
soon makes roots along the branches. Popular for cemetery 
planting. The flowers are pure white, single, with prominent 
yellow anthers in the center of the open bloom. The foliage 
IS arnple and rich green and the colored berries are attractive 
late in the fall and early winter. 
The Ramblers are very popular for vigor and hardiness 
and for their thousands of blooms
