Climbing Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting out of very 
old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals and long canes to make 
the growth conform to the space to be covered; but a severe pruning in July, 
directly after they have finished flowering, is beneficial. Cutting away at 
that time all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which 
will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this page a selection of the most modern Hardy Climbing 
and Rambler Roses. 
American Pillar Each $0.70, Doz. $7.00

size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white 
eye and clusters of yellow stamens, and are borne in immense bunches, 
and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. 
Blaze Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 10.) Hardy everblooming Climbing Rose which 
inherits the blazing color of Paul’s Scarlet Climber and the everblooming

of both its parents. It is a very vigorous climbing variety which will 
grow to considerable height. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00

ROSA DAMASCENA 
The Damask Roses are very hardy and make robust growth, clothed with

are generally borne in trusses of three or more. The fame of their powerful 
fragrance is second only to that of the Cabbage and the Moss Roses. 
York and Lancaster Each $2.00 
This historical Rose is said to have appeared in an English garden soon 
after the War of the Roses and the historical description said that “It 
has irregularly shaped flowers which may be pale red or pure white, 
or part red and part white. Flowers of these -different colorings may, 
and often do, appear on the bush at the same time.” The blooms are 
richly fragrant with the true Damask scent.
