(Plant Patent No. 457) 
Here is the outstanding new Pillar or Climbing Rose that 
created such a sensation all over America even in its first 
year {1941}. Modern, large-flowered, very double, fragrant, 
everblooming—a gorgeous display even in a small garden! 
Sets a new standard of beauty wherever 
intermediate height and glorious color are 
needed—beautiful deep rose-pink blooms 
and rich dark green foliage. Especially 
attractive on posts or pillars, alone or among 
shrubs; with “‘fanned”’ branches on pergolas 
or lattices; or trained along fences. 
We were sorry the great demand com- 
pletely exhausted our supply of plants very 
early last spring. This year we have more, 
but urge you to order early and be sure 
of your plants. 

The exquisite blooms 
grow 5 to 6 tn. across 
HE ideal of a lifetime! Gardeners everywhere are delighted with the wealth ie 
of fragrant blooms, the size of the large, double flowers so like the finest 
Hybrid Tea Roses—and most of all, with the everblooming performance of 
Dr. J. H. Nicolas. Many first-year plants bloomed persistently all last season! 
As soon as the first flowers fade, new shoots appear—all summer you will revel 
in the abundance of bloom. 
For years Dr. J. H. Nicolas, the world-renowned hybridist, author and rose 
expert, had set for his ideal a race of everblooming Climbing Roses with large 
double blooms like the Hybrid Teas. Six years ago he made the cross that resulted 
in this marvelous flower—the triumph he did not live to see fulfilled but which 
now bears his name.

Dr. Nicolas was the head of the J. & P. Department of 
Plant Research until his death in 1937 when he was 
succeeded by Eugene S. Boerner, who worked with him 
and under whose direction and inspiration this work has 
grown to be the largest of Rose-hybridizing operations 
in all the world. Sharing the ideals of Dr. Nicolas, he 
and everyone here at J. & P. treasured this outstanding 
Rose, gave it the most careful observation and propagation 
to make it ready for the gardens of America. 














| In the Jackson ¢? Perkins Gardens at the Rose Capital of America 
és the Nicolas quadrangle, with this planting of the Roses he created 
surrounding the Sun-Dial which has been erected there in his memory. 
In this photograph, 
Dr. Nicolas was doing 
the work he loved most. 
Even as this picture 
was taken he may have 
been making the cross 
that resulted in this 
Rose, or the spectac- 
ular new King Midas.
