LARGE-FLOWERED HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
UR collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most 
extensive and inclusive in this country, covering all types 
_ and colors. They are by far the most popular today. 
Disease-resistant, this modern type of Climber has the added 
advantage that many varieties produce flowers on long stems 
suitable for cutting. 
Pruning of Large-flowered Climbers: These varieties flower 
best on the older canes, so, contrary to the Rambler type, it is 
not advisable to cut out the canes which have flowered. Cut

A Long Blooming Season for Climb- 
ing Roses Achieved by a Selection of 
Varieties from this Choice List 
Most planters of Roses do not realize the 
spread of bloom periods in this class of Hardy 
Climbers. We have indicated the approximate 
bloom dates from about the middle of May until 
early July. In addition, there are several reliable 
everblooming varieties that extend the season 
well into September and October. 
12 
the vicinity of New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from June 
4 to 12; and L., after June 12. 
Abbreviations: CHT., Cl. Hybrid Tea; LC., Large-flowered Climber. 
These refer to the classes. 
MERMAID. LC. (W. Paul, 1918.) Unspeak- 
ably beautiful single flowers of great size, pure 
Ivory-white, with cream and Iemon center and 
an immense cluster of stamens. Blooms 
steadily throughout the season, producing 
clusters of buds on the tips of the new growth. 
Foliage glistening, almost evergreen. Needs 
winter protection in the North. Do not prune 
this Rose—let it grow. It is worth having 
even in cold situations, because one year’s 
blooming is worth years of waiting. Under 
favorable conditions it climbs, but is best as a 
rambling shrub. $1.50 each. 
MISS FLORA MITTEN. LC. (T. A. Lawren- 
son, 1913.) Single flowers, 3 inches across, of 
soft delightful pink with yellow stamens.

beautiful. Evidently a descendant of Rosa 
canina. MS. $1.50 each. 
MME. GREGOIRE STAECHELIN. LC. (P. 
Dot, 1927.) Pink. Also called “Spanish 
Beauty.” Huge, fragrant, delicate pink flowers, 
stained crimson. Has the largest seed-pods of 
any Climber. Blooms very early. $1.25 each. 
MME. SANCY DE PARABERE. LC. (Bonnet, 
1875.) Vigorous, thornless Boursault Climber 
with semi-double, vivid rose flowers. Very 
early flowermg and exceedingly hardy. The 
earliest blooming Climber. $1.50 each.
