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 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of large 
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 (U.S. Plant Patent No. 10) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
Hardy everblooming Climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss an Teplitz, 
thus combining the most attractive features of both its parents. It is a 
very vigorous climbing variety which will grow to considerable height. 
Cecil Brunner Each $2.00 
This is the climbing form of the ‘Sweetheart Rose.’ Covered in season 
with hundreds of graceful little buds and flowers, exceptionally fine for 
covering small fences or trellises. Needs protection in the North but 
well worth the extra trouble. 
Doubloons  (U. S. Plant Patent No. 152) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A vigorous climber with heavy wood and handsome, glossy foliage. 
When in bloom the whole plant is literally covered with clusters of large, 
golden blooms. Buds ovoid, deep saffron-yellow, flower large, double, 
cupped; rich gold, fading but little; fragrant. Gives two liberal crops 
six weeks apart if the first spring blooms have not been cut. We con- 
sider this the best hardy yellow climber. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A Rose which, on account of its dainty color and exquisitely shaped 
buds and flowers, appeals to everyone. The long, pointed buds are of a 
rich flesh-pink on stems 12 to 18 inches long. Splendid for cutting.

paratively large double rich golden flowers in large trusses. An addi- 
tional quality is a delicious fragrance. Gold Medal, Royal Horticultural

A fine pink Climber. The flowers are a lively pink and of Hybrid Tea 
Rose size. In fact they closely resemble H. T. Rose Marie. Through-

at Rose time it stands out as one of the best pinks.

A Pillar Rose, making a fine, strong, self-supporting plant 6 to 8 feet 
high, with large, glossy foliage, blooming with great freedom in spring

The plant is of strong climbing habit, growing 12 feet or more high and 
has large, disease-resistant foliage. At the tips, the long pointed buds 
are crimson at first as the petals divide, then the firm outer petals 
show splashes of carmine as the flower opens with an iridescent pearl- 
pink inside. Very fragrant. 
New Dawn (U. S. Plant Patent No. 1) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
(Everblooming Dr. W. Van Fleet.) Identical in every way with its parent 
in size and formation of its flowers, color, etc., but blooms continuously 
throughout the summer and fall.
