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, field- 
grown stock.

NEW DAWN 
A1074 —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 
4 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 
A2218X — 1 Blaze Everblooming Climber 
and 1 Climbing New Dawn. 
Both for only 2.29, postpaid. 
BLAZE 
A1056 —An ideal pillar rose be- 
cause it holds the bright scarlet 
color of its blossoms in the hottest 
sun. For repeated flowering, cut 
off the old blooms and then new 
blossom shoots will start from the 
first eye below the old flower 
cluster. Blaze has imcreased in 
popularity yearly since its intro- 
duction as its fine qualities have 
become more widely known. Likes 
good soil as the more it grows the 
more it blooms. 
This new climber has the same 
brilliant scarlet blossoms as Paul's 
Scarlet. However, it has the added 
advantage of being everblooming, 
blooming both in the spring and 
the fall. 1.25 each; 3 for 3.45, ppd. 
PROSPERITY 
A1079 — 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 the white climb- 
ers. It bears great clusters of pure 
white double blossoms which are 
particularly attractive 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. 
PRIMROSE 
A1077 —Primrose is a very vigor- 
ous grower and will do a fine job 
of completely covering a trellis or 
pergola. Because of its Wich- 
uraiana parentage, from which it 
derives its rich shiny foliage and 
exceeding frost hardiness, it can be 
planted where most other climbers 
are not hardy. 
We consider this the best yellow 
climbing rose. It is hardier than 
most climbers, grows almost any- 
where, has rich green varnished 
foliage, and immense double prim- 
rose yellow flowers, often 4 to 5 
inches across. It is a fine color 
alone, and combines well with the 
other colors. 
CLIMBING ROSE BARGAIN 
A2219X—1 Paul’s Scarlet, red; 1 Prosperity, 
pure white; 1 Primrose, yellow. 
All 3 for 2.98, Postpaid. 
PAUL'S SCARLET 
A1078 —Paul's Scarlet is among the 
hardiest 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 G6-foot intervals along a 
fence or wall is a sight to remem- 
ber when -their brilliant blossoms 
simply blanket the plants a 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 
im many different areas over a 
period of many years. 
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY 
A1052 —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 
of the Climbing roses. 
Long stemmed, very large, dou- 
ble, deep rose-pink flowers, borne 
singly or in clusters. A fragrant 
flower and a very hardy vine with 
all the charm of the famous Amer- 
ican Beauty rose in a climber. 
HWloritundas 
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 large 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. 
A1337 —EUTIN.

If you follow just two sim- 
ple rules when you buy roses, 
you will not go wrong:

bundas. Their prices are 1.10 each; 3 for 3.15; 
6 for 5.98; 12 for 11.40, postpaid.

beauty, size and quality in patented Floribundas 
than in any other class of roses.

A1393 —RED PINOCCHIO (Plant Pat. No. 812). Clus- 
ters of deepest velvety crimson flowers on long stems. 
An upright growing rose of many uses. 1.50 each; 
3 for 3.89, postpaid. 
A1385 —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 
from July until frost. 2.00 each; 3 for 5.25, postpaid. 
A1389—LAVENDER PINOCCHIO (Plant Pat. No. 947).

arrangements, and to have a real lavender rose in 
their garden. 2.00 each; 3 for 5.25, postpaid. 
A1386 —GERANIUM RED (Plant Pat. No. 811). We 
think this is probably the most brilliantly colored of

ers in big clusters, and they have a rich, spicy frag-
