HARDY RAMBLER ROSES (Blooms in large clusters) 
While the larger-flowered Climbing Roses seem to be far more popular at present than 
the true Ramblers, we do not like to see them overlooked because, in our opinion, there is 
nothing finer than masses of charming clustered Ramblers. It was true that some of the Ram- 
blers were susceptible to mildew, but that is no longer serious since we have eliminated them. 
PRUNING OF RAMBLERS: Cut out, in August or September, the canes which have flowered, 
and train up young canes produced from base. 
BLOOMFIELD COURAGE. (Capt. Thomas, 
1925.) A strong-growing many-caned Rambler 
to 20 feet or more. The plant is covered in late 
May and early June with myriads of small 
single flowers of blackish crimson surrounding 
white eyes. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
CHEVY CHASE. (N. J. Hansen, 1939.) Pat. 
443. Red. To those who desire color in masses 
there 1s nothing to compete with a Rambler 
Rose, and this history-making Rose is the 
finest of the great Rambler family. Bloom lasts 
for several weeks during May and June in this 
section, the rich crimson color changing slowly 
with age but never becoming objectionable. 
It is positively mildew-proof so the out-of-bloom 
appearance of so many Ramblers doesn’t 
bother Chevy Chase. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
DOROTHY PERKINS. (1901.) Pink. Double 
pink flowers are borne in huge trusses. An ex- 
cellent bank-cover. It is one of the loveliest of 
all Climbers when in full bloom, and worthy in 
spite of its mildew. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00. 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE. (Turbat, 
1916.) One of the nicest of the restramed- 
growth Ramblers. It will make 8 to 10-foot, 
almost thornless canes which bear heavy crops 
of shapely rich yellow buds changing slowly to 
creamy white when fully open. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.40. 
MINNEHAHA, (Walsh, 1905.) Pink. Bright 
pink, rosette-like flowers borne in clusters on 
stems of average length. Foliage small, glossy, 
dark green and free from mildew. $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.40. 
SANDERS WHITE. (Sanders, 1912.) Small, 
glistening white blooms of double rosette form, 
sweetly perfumed, borne in clusters on a strong, 
free-blooming plant which is both healthy and 
hardy. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
SEVEN SISTERS. The late Mr. Bunyard, 
famous British rosarian, sent us plants of the 
true variety just before he died. We succeeded 
in propagating a limited supply of this famous 
old Rose that all collectors cherish. Lilac-rose, 
soft pink, and nearly white flowers in the same 
clusters. $3.00 each.

PEMBERTON PILLAR OR SHRUB ROSES 
FELICIA. (J. H. 
Pemberton, 1928.) 
Pink buds, open- 
ing to semi-double 
flowers of blush- 
pink, tinged with 
white, borne in 
clusters. $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.40. 
These fine old introductions of The Rev. J. H. Pemberton, classed as Hybrid Musk Roses, 
have long been a specialty with us. When Rose-lovers once get to know them, they ad- 
mire and love them for their repeat-blooming qualities and their strong shrubby habit 
of growth. They have a long blooming period during June and July, and then again 
throughout the summer and fall seasons. Thrive almost anywhere and require very little 
care. Their heights range from 4 to 8 feet and they are, therefore valuable, for pillars, 
fences, or as strong shrubs without support, provided they are kept pruned lightly and 
within bounds. A few varieties originated by Capt. Thomas and Peter Lambert are in- 
cluded with the Pembertons because their growth and bloom habits are similar.

slender pliable canes enabling them to lie 
close to the ground. Their shiny foliage and 
beautiful flowers make these Roses ideal

trailer if allowed to go untrained. Plant all 
these varieties about 3 feet apart each way 
for quick ground-cover effect.
