Hardy Rambler Roses 
(Blooms in large clusters) 
HILE the larger-flowered Climbing Roses seem to be far 
more popular at present than the true Ramblers, never- 
theless we ask you not to forget the very definite place 
these Ramblers have in any Rose-planting. We do not like to 
see them overlooked because, in our opinion, there is nothing 
finer than masses of charming clustered Ramblers producing the 
striking color effects that only Rambler Roses can give you. 
Then, again, the blooming season of most of these varieties comes 
after the main burst of bloom on the Large-flowered Climbers. 
We shall never be able to do without Bloomfield Courage, 
Ghislaine de Feligonde, Minnehaha, Sanders’ White, and that 
brilliant new red, Chevy Chase. It is true that some of the 
Ramblers are susceptible to mildew, but that is not serious since 
we have eliminated many of those. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, in August or September, 
the canes which have flowered, and train up young canes pro- 
duced 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. 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. R. A strong- 
growing, many-caned Rambler to 20 feet or 
more. The plant ts covered in Jate May and 
early June with myriads of small single flowers 
of blackish crimson surroundmg white eyes, 
and is one of the most spectacular of all 
Climbing Roses. If not pruned after blooming, 
the plants will bear heavy crops of brilliant 
little red berries Jasting well into winter, a 
truly beautiful picture after the foliage has 
fallen. $1 each. 
CHEVY CHASE. R. (N. J. Hansen, 1939.) 
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. 
Bloom Iasts 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 fragrance. The numerous canes will 
cover a large area, making it ideal for fences, 
walls or buildings. It is positively mildew- 
proof. $1.50 each. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. R. Pink. Double pink 
flowers are borne in huge trusses. An excellent 
bank-cover. It is one of the loveliest of all 
Climbers when in full bloom, and worthy mm 
spite of its mildew. L. 85 cts. each. 
EVANGELINE. R. Pink. One of the strongest- 
growing Climbers with excellent glossy foliage. 
Soft pink, single flowers in enormous clusters. 
Unforgettable fragrance. MS. and L. $1 each. 
FRANCOIS GUILLOT. R. White. Glossy 
foliage. Good-sized, double white flowers. 
Strong grower. MS. $1 each. 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE. R. This al- 
most forgotten Climber is one of the nicest of 
the restrained-growth Ramblers. When well 
cared for it will make 8 to 10-foot almost 
thornless canes which bear heavy crops of 
shapely rich yellow buds which slowly change 
to creamy white when fully open. Flowers are 
borne in Jarge phlox-like clusters. If not pruned 
after the June bloom and if well fed then, it 
will bloom right through the season. Try it on 
a pillar, fence, or trellis or let it ramble over a 
wall. MS. and L. $1 each.
