Climbing Roses 
Few garden plants will provide as much beauty and color as Climbing Roses. They pay generous 
dividends in return for ordinary care and require only a small space in your garden. Fences, 
trellises, or arbors come aglow with spring color—bare walls or unsightly places are soon 
covered with masses of luxuriant foliage studded with hundreds of colortul blooms. 
The Climbers we list here are mostly climbing types of famous Hybrid Teas. They thrive in 
the Southern States and along the Pacific Coast. In regions of sub-zero temperatures all except 
Paul’s Scarlet require special winter protection. 
Belle of Portugal 
No rose will grow more vigorously; 10 to 12 ft. canes the first season are not at all unusual. 
The amazingly beautiful salmon-pink buds, too, are gigantic in size, often 3 or 4 inches in 
length. Do not expect it to bloom the first year after planting because it is too busy growing. 
But after that be prepared to enjoy its spectacular masses of bloom months before any other 
rose is in bloom. $1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Billy Boiler 
We think that this variety has the most perfect blooms of any red climber. The robust plant 
sends up many canes to 12 feet, and at the tip of each side branch on great long stems for 
cutting are the immense flowers, absolutely perfect in every way. Deep red, with blackish 
shadings and quite double, the blooms are beautifully shaped and deliciously fragrant. The 
color does not fade in the hottest sun. $1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 

Climbing Etoile de Hollande 
Climbing Dainty Bess 
Everyone likes the dainty, single, suntan-pink flowers of the bush 
Dainty Bess. Imagine having a large climbing plant of that beau- 
tiful variety covered with hundreds of long-stemmed blooms in the 
spring instead of just a few. You can cut an armful of them most 
any day in spring and still have plenty left. 
$1.25 each; 3 or more, $1.05 each. 
Climbing Golden Dawn 
Climbing Cecile Brunner eat 
This famous Polyanthus has been one of America’s favorite climbing 
roses for over 50 years. Few roses can equal the continuous show of 
dainty, miniature, rose-pink, salmon-shaded bud clusters. Charming 
to old and new acquaintances alike. It is a strong grower, needs no 
special coaxing. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Climbing Christopher Stone 
The big velvety red flowers, with their waxy petals and delicious 
perfume, which are so admired on the bush form of Christopher 
Stone, can now be had on a climbing plant. Nothing makes a more 
beauti‘ul display in springtime than a red climber, and when this 
one is covered with its big, dazzling blooms it will transform your 
trellis or arbor into a gorgeous spectacle that will be worth going a 
In the spring this big handsomely foliaged plant is literally blanketed 
with blooms. Graceful buds of sunflower yellow delicately flushed 
with old rose open to big, fully double flowers of lemon yellow, 
perfect in form. Unlike most climbers, it will produce flowers right 
up to the late fall. This rose has just about everything you could 
want in a light yellow climber, including a rich, spicy fragrance. 
long way to see. Plant Pat. No. 626. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Climbing Etoile de Hollande 
This variety is a favorite the country over and is rated by many 
among the three top red roses. Some of the finest big, red buds and 
open flowers that we have ever seen are produced on this big, strong 
growing plant with its attractive great big fresh looking foliage. 
Actually the blooms are often larger and on longer stems than those 
of the bush Etoile de Hollande and they possess the same rich 
fragrance. We rate it as the finest red climbing rose that we grow 
but there are seldom enough plants to supply the demand because 
it is a difficult kind to propagate. This is the climber to plant 
for lots of perfect red buds and flowers for cutting. 
$1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Plant Pat. No. 243. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.

The bud form of this glorious, shining, yellow rose has long been a 
favorite, and the climbing sport introduced by Armstrongs several 
years ago has fast become a favorite with rose growers everywhere.

spring, each one catching and reflecting the golden sunshine, but 
you can cut hundreds of long-stemmed beautifully formed buds and 
open flowers, and take that sunshine right into your house. Plant 
Pat. No. 508. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each. 
Instead of a few roses you can enjoy thousands—plant a few climbers 
and make the spring blooming period in your garden a matchless 
spectacle of color. 
Climbing Hinrich Gaede 
It is difficult to describe the brilliant flame-like combination of orange and vermillion which gives 
these flowers so much richness and beauty. This climber does not stop with the spring blooming

fall. An Armstrong Nurseries introduction. Plant Pat. No. 244. $1.50 each; 3 or more, $1.25 each.
