HARDY RAMBLER ROSES (Blooms in large clusters) 
While the Iarger-flowered Climbing Roses seem to be far more popular 
at present than the true Ramblers, we do not like to see them overlooked 
because, In our opinion, there ts nothing finer than masses of charming 
clustered Ramblers. It is true that some of the Ramblers were susceptible 
to mildew, but that is not serious since we have eliminated many. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out, in August or September, the canes 
which have flowered, and train up young canes produced from base. 
Prices as noted, less quantity discount of 10% on any 25 or more Roses 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. (Capt. Thomas, 
1925.) A strong-growing many-caned Rambler 
to 20 feet or more. The plant is covered in late 
May and early June with myriads of small 
single flowers of blackish crimson surrounding 
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 lasting well into 
winter, a truly beautiful picture after the 
foliage has fallen. $1.50 each. 
CHEVY CHASE. (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 lasts 
for several weeks during May and June in this 
section, the rich crimson color changing slowly 
with age but never becoming objectional. 
It is positively mildew-proof so the out-of-bloom 
appearance of so many Ramblers doesn’t 
bother Chevy Chase. $1.50 each. 
TRAILING ROSES 
DOROTHY PERKINS. (1901.) Pink. Double 
pink flowers are borne in huge trusses. An ex- 
cellent bank-cover. It is one of the loveliest of 
all Climbers when in full bloom, and worthy in 
spite of its mildew. $1.25 each. 
FRANCOIS GUILLOT. (Barbier, 1907.) Very 
double, snow-white flowers borne in small 
clusters. Fragrant. Stays in full flower several 
weeks. $1.50 each. 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE.  (Turbat, 
1916.) One of the nicest of the restrained- 
growth Ramblers. It will make 8 to 10-foot, 
almost thornless canes which bear heavy crops 
of shapely rich yellow buds changing slowly to 
creamy white when fully open. Flowers are 
borne in large 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. $1.50 each. Supply exhausted until 
fall 1946.
