Choose Varieties to Fit 
Your Color Scheme 
When most houses were 
white, a red climber was 
standard. Red still is most 
popular, but with houses now 
in all colors of the rainbow, 
give consideration to the 
whites, yellows and pinks. 
Even for lawn or garden plant- 
ing, the different colors may 
be helpful. 
NEW DAWN 
A1074—The first everbloom- 
ing climbing rose, and fast 
becoming one of the most 
popular. No other climber 
produces flowers so constant- 
ly from spring until frost. 
The blooms are a large, 
double, apple-blossom pink 
borne on long stems. Fine 
for cutting. Also very fra- 
grant. 1.25 each; 3 for 3.49, 
postpaid. 
Beautiful RED and GOLD 
Combination 
A2215X—1 Paul’s Scarlet 
and 1 Primrose—a beautiful 
combination for a trellis or 
arbor. Both fine 2-year-old 
plants for only 1.89, ppd. 
WHITE DAWN 
A1096—The beautiful white 
counterpart of New Dawn. 
The finest everblooming white 
climbing rose. Hundreds of 
pure white, completely dou- 
ble, Gardenia-like blooms on 
long stems. A fine new origi- 
nation from the University 
of Minnesota. 1.75 each; 3 
for 5.00, postpaid. 
PAUL'S SCARLET 
A1078—This is the most bril- 
liantly colored of all climbing 
roses, and one of the tallest 
growing. It has large, full, 
showy flowers so thick on the 
branches that you can hardly 
see the foliage. It is the great - 
climbing rose; more of them 
are planted than any other 
variety. 98c each; 3 for 2.79; 
6 for 5.35; 12 for 10.10, post- 
paid. 
CORAL DAWN 
A1053— (Patent #1117). A 
brand new everblooming 
climber of a rich, sparkling, 
deep coral-pink coloring. This 
is the first time that this 
popular color has been avail- 
able in a climber. Has dainty, 
pointed buds which open up 
to double, 4%-inch blooms. 
Lustrous, dark green foliage 
—very disease resistant and 
They Grow into Fine Hardy Climbers and 
Bloom as Freely as Hybrid Teas 
These are hardy climbers 
with the everblooming habit 
of hybrid teas. Their out- 
standing, and new, feature is 
that they bloom on the canes 
the year they grow—yes, even 
the first year, like hybrid teas 
do. 
Although they make fine 
everblooming climbers, you 
may, if you wish, cut them 
back to grow giant hybrid tea 
Al287— NEW YORKER (Pat. 
#823). One of the most intense- 
ly scarlet roses we have ever 
seen, and holds its color until 
the last petal has fallen. 2.00 
each; 3 for 5.25, ppd. 
A1262—E TERNAL YOUTH 
(Pat. #332). Clearest of all pinks 
and we think one of the most 
beautifully shaped of all roses. 
Fragrant; long stemmed; vigor- 
ous 4” to 5” flowers. 1.75 each; 
3 for 4.65, ppd. 
Atl4o0—ECLIPSE. Has world’s 
most beautiful bud—sleek and 
tapering with long, green stip- 
ules framing the golden yellow 
bloom. 1.75 each; 3 for 4.65, 
postpaid. 
A1259 — CHARLOTTE ARM- 
STRONG (Pat. #455). Another 
All America winner. Perfectly 
formed blood-red buds open to 
4” flowers of deep carmine pink. 
2.25 each; 3 for 5.98, ppd. 
A1l284—LOWELL THOMAS 
(Pat. #595). All America winner

flowers with high, cupped cen- 
ters. 2.00 each; 3 for 5.25, ppd. 
A1298— WHITE SWAN (Pat. 
#£1115). We have never before 
offered for sale a patented white 
rose because, up to now, we 
didn’t think any of them were 
good enough. But White Swan 
is. The dark green foliage makes 
a beautiful background for the 
perfectly formed white blossoms. 
An upright, vigorous grower. 
Long graceful buds slowly open 
into three to four-inch, high- 
centered flowers. Delightfuily 
fragrant too, 2.265 each; 3 for 
6.00, ppd. 
A1291—PEACE (Pat. #591). All 
America Award Winner, and the 
first rose ever to win National 
Gold Medal of American Rose 
Society. Blooms often are 6” 
bushes, 4 to 8’ high. Also, 
they make fine specimens for 
a compact bush on the lawn 
or in the shrubbery. 
The first year they will 
make a tea rose bush, and 
flower like one. The follow- 
ing year they will start to 
climb and bloom at the same 
time. If they are killed back 
by exceptional freezes they 
will still come up again and 
FINEST TEA ROSES 
across. 2.60 each; 3 for 6.50, 
postpaid.

A1288—MOJAVE (Pat. #1176). 
This is the only hybrid tea rose 
to win an All America Award in 
1954. It is, without a doubt, the 
finest orange colored hybrid tea 
rose yet introduced. It is named 
after California’s famous Mojave 
desert, and the name fits per- 
fectly because its rich coloring 
is like a desert sunset. It is 
glowing orange shot with flame- 
like tones of scarlet and vermil- 
ion. Mojave is a good grower, 
bears a profusion of large flow- 
ers on long stems (ideal for cut- 
ting), has beautiful tapered buds, 
and is pleasantly fragrant. 2.75 
each; 3 or more at 2.40 each, 
postpaid. 
A1(60—NEIGE PARFUM (Not 
patented). This is a rose of pur- 
est white, tremendously en- 
hanced by a fragrance so breath- 
taking that a perfume maker 
probably would barter his soul 
to be able to reproduce it. It is 
acclaimed by many to he the 
most fragrant of all roses, and 
a white rose at that. The snowy 
a fine background for the 
huge coral-pink blooms. Does 
well in all regions. 2.50 each; 
3 for 6.60, postpaid. 
PROSPERITY 
A1079—This one has great 
clusters of pure white blooms 
on a strong, free- growing 
plant. It is especially good 
against red brick walls. It 
blooms the first year you 
plant it; that is unusual in a 
climbing rose. 98c each; 3 
for 2.79; 6 for 5.35; 12 for 
10.10, postpaid. 
GOLDEN PYRAMID 
A1066—A hardy Brownell

yellow. The large flowers are 
as shapely and beautiful as 
tea roses, and the plants are 
the most vigorous of any yel- 
low climber we have ever 
seen. 1.75 each; 3 for 5.00, 
ppd.

golden yellow. The buds are 
long, slender and tapering, open- 
ing into large flowers on long 
stems. Buccaneer was awarded 
medals in Switzerland; Paris 
France; and Rome, Italy. 2.78 
each; 3 for 7.20, ppd. 
There is such a wide 
variation in the quality of 
roses, and in the sizes and 
grades, and in the prices 
different nurseries ask for 
their roses, that it is con- 
fusing. 
So we want to tell you 
this: First, all Henry 
Field’s roses are two-year- 
old, field-grown plants. No 
other kind is shipped. Sec- 
ond, they are true to name, 
healthy, heavy, and hardy. 
They are absolutely free 
of disease and fungus—we 
are one of the very few 
nurseries using germicidal 
lamps in our rose storage 
room. 
There are no better roses 
than Henry Field’s. You 
can pay more for roses,
