LARGE-FLOWERED HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
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 back the side shoots which have 
flowered, remove old worn-out canes, and train up only enough young 
canes to cover the required area,

Oin 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 
classes. 
COUNTESS OF STRADBROKE. CHT. 
(Clark, 1928.) Very large, double, well shaped, 
intensely fragrant, dark glowing crimson. 
Free, recurrent bloom. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
DOUBLOONS. LC. (Horvath, 1944.) Pat. 152. 
Yellow. A perfectly hardy yellow Climber 
developed from our native prairie Rose (Rosa 
setigera). Large, buff-yellow flowers, gener- 
ously produced. Unquestionably hardy and 
rugged. MS. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
DREAM GIRL. The new everblooming Hardy 
Climber and Pillar Rose. Introduced by 
Bobbink & Atkins in 1944; M. R. Jacobus, 
Hybridizer. Pat. 643. This variety fills a long- 
felt need for a real coral-pink, full-petaled, 
hardy climbing Rose. Another most appealing 
quality is its pleasant spicy and penetrating 
fragrance. When it Is used as a cut flower in 
the house, the perfume is even more notable 
and lasting than outdoors, and the true coral- 
pink and salmon colors become more beautiful 
and intense until the last petal unfurls. The 
blooms last for days after cutting. Beginning 
in June when older climbers like Mary Wal- 
lace, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and others in this class 
finish blooming, Dream Girl produces succes- 
sive crops of flowers throughout the summer, 
ending with a gorgeous display in Iate fall. 
Dream Gil is not a rampant-growing 
climber but assumes a neat, compact habit 
which allows for easy training on a 6 to 8-foot 
trellis or arbor; also does well when trained as 
a “pillar” Rose. Without any support and 
because of its pliable and easy-to-train 
branches, it may be used as a trailing Rose. 
It is ideal to cover fences, stone walls, and 
tree stumps. It may take a year or two to 
get fully established and produce the full-size 
blooms of typical color as illustrated, -but 
practically everybody agrees that it is worth- 
while being patient with this grand new Rose. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
DR. HUEY. LC. (Thomas, 1914.) Red. A 
spectacular Climber yielding an abundance of 
large, ruffled, maroon-red flowers both singly 
on long stems and in tremendous clusters. So 
far as we have observed, there is no color in 
the whole Rose kingdom to match the deep, 
solid, velvety maroon which is so firm and 
pronounced that hot sun or rams do not mar 
its beauty. Dr. Huey does not fade to a bluish 
purple as so many very dark red Roses do. 
‘The color and habit are so distinct that it can 
always be positively identified. $1.25 each; 
3 for $3.35. 
DR. W. VAN FLEET. LC. (Van Fleet, 1910.) 
Pink. Abundant Jong-stemmed, beautifully 
formed flowers of a soft pale shade of flesh-pink, 
the equal of a fine Hybrid Tea. MS. $1.25 
each; 3 for $3.35. 
ELEGANCE. LC. (Brownell, 1938.) Yellow. 
Flowers are spectrum-yellow in center, shading 
to a pale yellow on the outer petals, deepening 
in color as they open, carried on stiff stems 
1 to 3 feet long. Huge exhibition flowers, 
eye Tea in form. MS. $1.50 each; 3 for 
4.00. 
FRANCOIS POISSON. LC. (Barbier & Co., 
1902.) Large, full flowers of pale sulphur- 
yellow, shaded orange in center, becoming

Pat. 263. The pure spectrum-yellow Hybrid- 
Tea-like flowers are 31% to 5 inches in diameter,

Climber. MS. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00.

natural and gratifying demand. MS. $1.50
