Climbing Roses 
The hardy Climbing Roses have a distinct place as 
decorative plants. They grow best in a sunny location, 
with rich, not too dry soil. We do not use the term ever- 
blooming when describing climbing roses. The climbers 
usually bloom on the previous year’s growth. We cannot 
claim honestly that climbing Roses are ever-blooming. 
(Dormant plants are not recommended after May 15) 
American Pillar—A never-to-be-forgotten sight when in 
bloom. Huge clusters of large single flowers; scarlet 
with white centers. An outstanding variety. 
Climbing American Beauty—Double carmine- pink; a de- 
pendable climber. Very large flowers. 
Dorothy Perkins — One of the old-fashioned Rambler 
roses, soft pink. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet—Pale flesh-pink; flowers well-shaped, 
double, with long stems, making them good for cut- 
ting.

of warm rose-pink, semi-double, cup-shaped, fragrant.

carmine, opening to large pearl-pink flowers with car- 
mine splashes on outside of petals.

the climbing Roses: Scarlet, shaded with bright crim-

June, loosely clustered on vigorous canes that often 
reach a ’teen height. 
Primrose—Pale yellow, full-double blossoms of medium

petal and alluring sulphur-yellow stamens. This Rose 
is of very vigorous, rapid growth, with distinctive 
bronzy. waxy foliage. It blooms freely in June. No 
other Rose is like it. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
This class of Roses is of heavier growth, and somewhat 
hardier, than the Hybrid Teas. They bloom in June pro- 
fusely, with a scattering of late blossoms in August, ex- 
cepting newer varieties designated as “everblooming” 
which have the continuous-blooming habit of Hybrid Tea 
roses.

Frau Karl Druschki (Snow Queen, White American 
Beauty)—For 40 years this fine Rose has been included

grower. Its flowers often measure 5 inches across. 
Occasionally they show a slight flush of pink at their 
centers.
