Everblooming Semi-Climbing or Pillar Roses 
These Roses are $1.25 each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount on page 22 
HESE fine old introductions of Peter Lambert, Captain 
Thomas, and The Rey. J. H. Pemberton have long been a 
specialty with us. When Rose-lovers once get to know them, 
they admire and love them for their repeat-blooming qualities 
and their strong shrubby habit of*growth. They have a long 
blooming period during June and July, and then again through- 
out the summer and fall seasons. Thrive almost anywhere and 
BELINDA. (J. & A. Bentall, 1936.) Large 
trusses of soft pink blooms. The individual 
truss is formed exactly like the perennial phlox 
and is the only Rose we know of showing this 
novel characteristic. Try at least one for a real 
Rose thrill. Upright with beautiful foliage. 
Suitable for a hedge, bedding, or short pillar; 
4 to 6 feet. $2 each. 
BISHOP DARLINGTON. (Capt. Thomas, 
1912.) Pink. Large, semi-double flowers of 
lovely flesh-pink suffused with yellow at base 
of petals. Vigorous growth; good foliage; a 
profuse and continuous bloomer. 
CLYTEMNESTRA. (J. H. Pemberton, 1915.) 
Pink. Coppery buds; small, ruffled deep 
pink flowers shading to salmon. 
CORNELIA. H. Musk. (J. H. Pemberton, 
1925.) Pmk. Very double flowers, about 3 
inches across, of strawberry-pink, flushed 
yellow, borne in abundant, flat sprays. Vig- 
orous shrub habit. 
DAYBREAK. (J. H. Pemberton, 1918.) Yel- 
low. Golden yellow, almost smgle flowers, 
freely produced in clusters. Shrub 4 to 5 feet. 
EVA. (W. Kordes Sons, 1933.) Red. Bud large,

and surplus wood. 
NUR MAHAL. Semi-double, ruffled, light 
crimson-purple flowers with musk fragrance, 
borne profusely on vigorous, bushy, shrubby 
plants. Introduced abroad as a 2-foot shrub, 
this Rose is a strong pillar or climber here. 
It has a very showy rosy purple color of great 
beauty, but should be planted with yellow or 
white varieties. Pure pink and red Roses 
near it spoil the effect. $1.50 each. 
PAX. (J. H. Pemberton, 1918.) White. Large, 
creamy buds of lovely form, and broad, white 
flowers of much charm; very fragrant. Blooms 
steadily through the summer

require very little care. Their heights range from 5 to 8 feet and 
are, therefore, valuable for pillars, fences or as strong shrubs 
without support provided they are kept pruned lightly and

Planting Distance: 3 to 4 feet apart. 
PENELOPE. (J. H. Pemberton, 1942.) Blush. 
perpetual-flowering cluster Rose of shrub 
habit. The flowers are shell-pink, but turn 
pure white shading to Iemon around centers 
as they age. This gives the effect of having 
both pmk and white blossoms on one plant. 
The best Rose in this class. Supply ex- 
hausted until fall 1944, 
PROSPERITY. (J. H. Pemberton, 1919.) 
White, rosette-like flowers, tinted with pale 
pink. Borne im profuse, erect clusters. Vigor- 
ous. Pillar. 
VANITY. (J. H. Pemberton, 1920.) Large,

These Roses are $1.25 each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount as given on page 22 
OST of the Roses in this group are low and somewhat 
spreading, with dainty, almost evergreen, disease- 
resistant foliage. 
Thought at one time to be too tender for northern states, 
they have proved to be as hardy as any of our Roses, flowering 
all summer, and reaching the height of their glory in the fall. 
The smaller varieties can be used like Polyanthas for the 
front row of beds or for edgings and they are lovely im solid beds.
