Large-Flowered Hardy Climbing Roses 
BOBBINK WHITE CLIMBER 
$2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each 
AMERICAN PILLAR. LC. (Van Fleet, 1902.) 
A rampant grower with glossy foliage; huge 
trusses of 2-inch, single flowers of scarlet-rose 
with large white centers. MS. $2.00 each; 
3 or more, $1.80 each. 
BOBBINK WHITE CLIMBER. LC. (M. R. 
Jacobus, 1951.) Pat. 1163. This new ever- 
blooming “‘white’’ Climber has been tested for 
hardiness and reblooming habits for several 
years and proved satisfactory. We have found 
the autumn bloom especially fine; the opening 
buds and petals show creamy to faint lemon- 
yellow through when the blooms are fully open, 
they finish white. 
Like most hardy Climbers, plants do not pro- 
duce their typical blooms the first year and 
therefore one should be patient. It may be 
used or trained any way you see fit and even 
makes an excellent trailing or “‘covering’” Rose 
because of its beautiful, healthy, lustrous green 
foliage. $2.25 each; 3 or more, $2.00 each. 
CLIMBING ROSES. Think of their many uses 
and the hundreds of gorgeous blooms produced 
for garden effect and cutting for the home.

Our collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most extensive and inclusive in this country, 
covering all types and colors; many are Everblooming and are gaining popularity year after 
year. They are extremely disease resistant and produce blooms with excellent long stems which 
are splendid 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. 
PLANTING DISTANCE: Trellis or wall—é6 feet. Pillars—as close as 3 feet, depending on the 
design. 
The letters at the end of descriptions represent commencement of the blooming period in 
the vicinity of New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from June 4 to 12; and L., 
after June 12.

a a apricot. The color tones actually deepen until 
the blooms fully open in sunlight. One of the 
most appealing qualities of Dream Girl is the 
pleasing spicy unforgettable fragrance; a few 
cut blooms will scent the whole room. Plants 
established for a year or more will produce a 
fine crop of flowers in early June followed by a 
succession of blooms throughout the summer, 
ending with a glorious display in early fall. 
Please do not expect full-sized blooms of typi- 
cal color the first year or season after planting 
(this holds true with practically all Climbing 
Roses.)
