WELCH’S GREEN QUEEN 
Climbing Roses 
There are no other climbing plants 
that give the mass of bloom and beauty 
of display that the Climbing Roses do, 
with the possible exception of the 
Hybrid Clematis. 
The uses of Climbing Roses are 
many—to add beauty to the house by 
climbing on trellises or around door- 
ways and porches; to scramble over 
walls and fences; to cover outbuildings 
or objects such as rocks or large stumps 
that cannot be moved but present an 
ugly appearance unless clothed in 
something like a climbing rose. 
Climbing Roses give a tremendous 
mass of bloom for several weeks in 
early summer and finish out the sea- 
son with a thick covering of green 
ieaves, and the everblooming varieties, 
Blaze and New Dawn, bloom almost 
continuously from June until frost. 
Climbers should be planted at least 
6 feet apart and 3 feet out from a 
house or other building. 
In regions where the canes are apt 
to kill back in the winter, they can be 
laid down on the ground and covered 
with straw or other mulch in late fall. 
Welch’s offer you a wide variety of 
colors in these climbers, designed to 
harmonize, or accent, the coloration of 
your home, or such buildings as you 
may want the rose to climb on. 
All our plants are two-year, 
grown stock.

THEY BLOOM PROFUSELY 
Welch’s 
The Floribunda Roses form a 
rounded bush, growing to a size 
about 3 feet high and 2 feet across. 
They grow more bushy than the 
ordinary hybrid tea rose, and the 
flowers generally are borne several 
to a cluster. They are beautiful and 
hardy, with masses of Jarge double 
blossoms all summer long. They do 
well in beds by themselves, or in 
the shrub border, or in the founda- 
tion plantings around your home.

Unless you are a rose ex- 
pert, you are apt to find 
the rose situation confus- 
ing because there are so 
many different grades and 
so many different varieties, 
at so many different prices. 
If you follow just two sim- 
ple rules when you buy roses, 
you will not go wrong: 
true 
NEW DAWN 
A1039—The first, and one of the 
very few, everblooming climbing 
roses. New Dawn produces a 
wealth of flowers in the ordinary 
June climbing rose blooming sea- 
son, and then keeps a few blooms 
constantly on the vine from that 
time until frost. Flowers are large, 
double apple-blossom pink, often 
+ inches across, and grow on long 
stems. They are fine for cutting, 
and also very fragrant. 
This variety is one of the hard- 
iest of the climbers and will ordi- 
narily climb higher than most. 
New Dawn usually will put out 
some blooms the first year it is 
planted. 1.25 each; 3 for 3.49, 
postpaid. 
THE CLIMBING 
TWINS 
PROSPERITY 
A1046 — The foliage is a bright 
clear green, which is attractive at 
all times of the year. When inter- 
planted with Paul’s Scarlet climb- 
er, or some other brightly colored 
climber, Prosperity creates a color 
contrast that is strikingly beautiful. 
We think Prosperity is the most 
satisfactory of all che white climb- 
ers. Ic bears great clusters of pure 
white double blossoms which are 
particularly ateractive against a red 
brick wall. This rose blooms on 
the new wood and, therefore, will 
blossom the very first year you 
plane it, something very unusual 
in a climbing rose. 
RAINBOW CLIMBING 
COLLECTION 
PAUL'S SCARLET 
A1043—Paul’s Scarlet is among the 
hardiese of the well-known climb- 
ers and its dark green, leathery 
leaves are very resistant to black 
spot and mold. A row of these 
planted at 6-foot intervals along a 
fence or wall is a sight to remem- 
ber when their brilliant blossoms 
simply blanket the plants from top 
to bottom. 
Undoubtedly more Paul’s Scarlet 
are planted than any other climb- 
ing rose, and probably rightly so. 
No plant could attain, and hold, 
the popularity that Paul’s Scarlet 
has unless it performed faithfully 
in many different areas over a 
period of many years.

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY 
A1026—Its fragrant blossoms make 
fine cut flowers, particularly when 
cut in the bud. As this rose is 
another Wichuraiana hybrid, it 
comes rightfully by its extreme 
hardiness and clean, mildew resist- 
ant, showy foliage as well as its 
vigorous habit of growth. Although 
originated in 1908 by the Penn- 
sylvanian, Josiah Hoopes, it is still 
one of the most popular and finest

A1265—FASHION (Plant Pat. No. 789). This un- 
doubtedly is the finest of the Floribundas and one of 
the most pleasing colors of any rose we know of.

bright salmon-pink. The large bush blooms constantly

ers in big clusters, and they have a rich, spicy frag- 
rance. 1.50 each; 3 for 3.89, postpaid.
