PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER 
The brightest and purest red of all 
pillar Roses. Vivid  scarlet-crimson, 
semi-double flowers in clusters that re- 
tain their color until they fall. The 
color, which never turns blue, is in- 
tensified by the numerous yellow sta- 
mens. A vigorous grower with a pro- 
fusion of bloom that remains for a long 
season,

THE ROSE 
The Rose has ways 
of saying things 
We much delight 
to hear 
Without a spoken 
word, 
she brings 
And keeps our loved 
ones near.

Climbing Roses 
What is more lovely than a trellis of lovely climbing 
Roses? Climbing Roses form a most lovely covering of 
foliage and flowers for the trellis, porch, or arbor. To be 
sure, they require some care and attention in the matter 
of winter protection, but the extra care is recompensed in 
fine beauty. (See page 20 for winter care.) 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. Color rosy crim- 
son; flowers about 4 inches in diameter, finely formed 
on long stems. Blooms very freely in May and June, 
and occasionally during the summer.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. Crimson semi-double flowers, 
borne in clusters on vigorous plants. Very good 
arbor and porch plant, often making shoots from 8 
to 15 feet in a season. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. The beautiful, double, shell- 
pink flowers come in clusters in great profusion, 
making a wonderful display. See picture. yy 
DR. W. VAN FLEET. Perfectly formed, long-pointed, 
deep pink buds on long stems with several in a clus- 
ter, that open a lighter shade of pink. 
EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins). A radiant, blood- 
red cluster Rose, as free and double as Dorothy Per- 
kins, of which it is the red prototype. The clusters 
are very large. See picture. 
GARDENIA (Yellow Rambler; Aglaia). The color 1s 
a decided yellow; the flowers are very sweet-scented; 
habit of growth is vigorous, well established plants 
often making shoots from 8 to 10 feet in height in 
a single season. 
MARY WALLACE. A handsome Pillar Rose with 
huge, semi-double blooms of bright, clear, rose-pink 
deepening to salmon at the base. Beautiful in bou- 
guets. A strong grower, with shiny foliage. We 
consider this climber one of the best. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. See picture. 
SPANISH BEAUTY (Mme. Gregoire Staechelin) 
Long-pointed buds of crimson open to an iridescent 
pearl-pink, with splashes of ruby-carmine on the out- 
side of the petals. These deliciously fragrant blooms 
are produced so lavishly that they almost hide the 
plant, and, coming as they do on long stems, 12 to 
18 inches, they are perfect for cutting. The long 
blooming period is followed by the largest Rose seed- 
pods. 
TAUSENDSCHON. The buds are cherry-pink, opening 
to very double flowers of softer shades, all shades 
being found in a single cluster. A moderate grower. 
WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS. The same habit of 
growth as the Dorothy Perkins. Where a white 
Rambler is desired, we recommend this variety.
