Hardy Rambler Roses 
(Blooms in large clusters) 
T HIS, the oldest type, is still used extensively for pillars, fences, 
and sloping banks, but at times in certain sections some are 
subject to mildew. The past year has given us an ideal oppor¬ 
tunity to observe their susceptibility or resistance to this disease, 
and we have appended our frank comments after each variety. How¬ 
ever, it should be remembered that Roses act differently in other 
parts of the country and there are many sections where these old 
types do well. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, in August or September, the 
canes which have flowered, and train up young canes produced from 
base. 
The letters at the end of descriptions represent the blooming period 
in the vicinity of New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from 
June 4 to 12; and L., after June 12. 
Abbreviations: R., Rambler; HW., Hybrid Wichuraiana. These 
refer to the classes. 
All Hardy Rambler Roses are 75 cts. each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount on page 15 
CHEVY CHASE. 
$1.50 each 
Aviateur Bleriot. R. Yellow. Saffron buds 
and light yellow flowers, fading white, in 
small clusters; magnolia fragrance. L. 
Bloomfield Courage. R. Small single flowers 
of blackish crimson surrounding white eyes. 
One of the most spectacular of all Climbing 
Roses. $1 each. 
Chevy Chase. R. Pat. 443. Red. To those 
who desire color in masses there is nothing 
to compete with a Rambler Rose, and this 
history-making Rose is the finest of the 
great Rambler family. The progeny of 
R. Soulieana, a climbing species Rose from 
China, and the little red Polyantha, 
Eblouissant, Chevy Chase furnishes small, 
double, deep crimson flowers in enormous 
loose panicles on a vigorous plant which 
has healthy foliage. Disfiguring mildew, 
which spoils the out-of-bloom appearance 
of so many Ramblers, doesn’t bother Chevy 
Chase. Its foliage is rather small and good 
to look at when the plants are not in flower. 
Bloom lasts for several weeks during May 
and June in this section, the rich crimson 
color changing slowly with age but never 
becoming objectionable. The result is a 
glorious shading of red for weeks and a 
good-looking plant from then until frost. 
An added feature is a pleasing mild fra¬ 
grance. The numerous canes will cover a 
large area, making it ideal for fences, walls 
or buildings. $1.50 each.

growing Climbers with excellent glossy foliage. 
Soft pink, single flowers in enormous clusters.

in the Botanical Register. $1 each.
