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, 
RAMBLER ROSE, CHEVY CHASE 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.40 
PEMBERTON PILLAR 
OR SHRUB ROSES 
These fine old introductions, classed as 
Hybrid Musk Roses, 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. 
PRUNING: Retain old wood and new wood. 
Cut out only dead and surplus wood, 
PLANTING DISTANCE: 3 to 4 feet apart. 
BISHOP DARLINGTON. (Capt. Thomas, 
1926.) Pink. Large, semi-double flowers of 
lovely flesh-pink suffused with yellow at base 
of petals. A self-supporting, strong, shrub-like 
plant growing 3 to 4 feet high and as wide; 
continuous bloomer. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
CLYTEMNESTRA. (J. H. Pemberton, 1915.) 
Coppery buds; small, ruffled, open blooms 
change to a light buff-pink. Flexible pillar or 
trailer. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
CORNELIA. (J. H. Pemberton, 1925.) Pink. 
Very double flowers, about 3 inches across, of 
strawberry-pink, flushed yellow, borne in 
abundant, flat sprays. Vigorous shrub habit 
or pillar. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.40. 
MORNING STARS. (M. R. Jacobus). Intro- 
duced by Bobbink and Atkins 1949. The chaste 
white blooms are about 3 inches across, borne 
in large clusters of six to nine perfectly formed, 
full blooms opening gradually one after the 
other. One cluster is sometimes an artistic 
arrangement all by itself. The petalage ts firm 
and waxy. It is a self-supporting pillar or shrub 
growing to a height of about 4 feet. $2.00 
each; 3 for $5.40. 
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 is 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. 
GHISLAINE DE FELIGONDE. § (Turbat, 
1916.) One of the nicest of the restrained- 
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. 
ROSE PRICES 
To obtain the “three rate” you must order 
three or more of one variety to one address 
TRAILING ROSES 
The Trailers are Climbing Roses with 
slender pliable canes enabling them to lie 
close to the ground. Their shiny foliage and 
beautiful flowers make these Roses ideal 
covers for banks, hillsides and waste places. 
Dream Girl (p.14) also makes a good 
trailer if allowed to go untrained. Plant all 
these varieties about 3 feet apart each way 
for quick ground-cover effect. 
MAX GRAF. HRug. (Bowditch, 1919.) Pink. 
Handsome foliage and sprays of large, single, 
shining pink flowers. Extra hardy; fine for 
covering exposed banks. Foliage 75% Rugosa.

White. Fine trailer with glossy foliage and big, 
snowy flowers in clusters. Vigorous and Iong- 
lived. Foliage 75% Rugosa. $1.50 each; 10

CLIMBING HYBRID 
TEAS 
All these Climbing Roses are $1.75 each 
In Southern States they are glorious, bear- 
ing full crops of Hybrid Tea flowers all 
season. In the Middle Atlantic States and 
farther north, they do not produce re- 
current blooms after May or June and, 
furthermore, are not reliably hardy. But 
now since there are quite a few reliably 
hardy climbers offered under the large- 
flowered climber section, we suggest that 
gardeners in the north without too much 
experience, confine their selection to these 
and avoid possible disappointment. 
PRUNING: Retain old and new wood, 
cutting out only dead or exhausted wood. 
CLIMBING DAINTY BESS. (van _ Barne- 
veld, 1935.) Pink. A climbing sport of the 
beautiful Hybrid Tea, Damty Bess. Bears

Needs protection north of Washington. $1.75 
each; 3 for $4.75. 
CLIMBING ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. (M. 
Leenders, 1931.) Red. Climbing form of the 
celebrated Etoile de Hollande. Brilliant red 
blooms, fully double, on a sturdy and reliable 
plant. Blooms recurrently all season. Fra- 
grance adds to its desirability. $1.75 each; 
3 for $4.75. 
CLIMBING PRESIDENT HOOVER. (B. R. 
Cant, 1937.) Bicolor. Large flowers, flaming

each; 3 for $4.75.

Co., 1927.) Red. A strong Climber with glob-
