Except As Noted 
That Will Bloom This Year 
A climbing rose will produce as many flowers as a 
dozen bush roses. They may be trained against walls 
or fences and many of the vigorous growers will 
climb quickly into the branches of tall trees. 
RED CLIMBERS 
Climbing Etoile de Hollande. Ir our opinion, the 
finest red flowered everblooming climber. A strong 
grower, it produces some of the finest big red buds 
and open flowers that we have ever seen on any 
Rose, and the blooms are larger and on longer stems 
than the bush Etoile de Hollande and possess the 
same delicious fragrance, 
Climbing Red Radiance. A strong grower, and the 
big red stiff-stemmed blooms are just as numerous 
and fine as on the bush.

vivid scarlet, semi-double, very freely produced in 
clusters of 3 to 20 blooms on long much branched

ing to compare with it for striking effect,

the claim of Mrs. E. P. Thom to be one of the finest 
yellow bush Roses, and many will place it first. We 
have it now ina vigorous climber, multiplying many 
times the number of flawless yellow buds which can 
be produced on a bush type.

with its large, globular, highly perfumed blooms still 
popular, although it was introduced in France in 
1864. Exceedingly vigorous and profuse in bloom.

Climbing Cecil Brunner. This famous climbing 
Rose, with its quantities of perfect. miniature pink

can cut a bouquet of beautiful buds from it almost 
any time of the year. Very fragrant.

shaped buds are often 3 inches long. Because of its 
strong growth it blooms very little for a year or ie

est, silvery-pink Rose produces a great profusion of 
long-stemmed blooms.

ing combination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet, and

thing more striking than a fence or trellis covered

admired Talisman.
