Mermaid 
Grow it as a climber, a Pillar rose, a ground cover, 
or as a big rambling bush. Makes a great mass of 
glossy foliage (evergreen in mild areas). Throughout 
the season there is a wealth of big 5 to 6-inch single 
flowers of pale sulfur-yellow. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $6.60. 
Mona Lisa 
The allure of this new Armstrong climber lies in the 
size and perfection of the big 5% inch blooms. Each 
one is a high-centered beauty with many firm lasting 
petals of warm pink and an enchanting fragrance. 
Grows only about 10 to 12 feet tall, a Pillar type, 
with luxuriant foliage. It puts on a great show of 
bloom in the spring, but unlike most climbers, Mona 
Lisa continues to bloom modestly until late fall. 
iRlantebateiNOs:4.59) $2.75 each; 3 for $7.20. 
New Dawn 
Each spring the big plant is covered with masses of 
fragrant blush-pink blooms, and it continues right 
on blooming until the first hard frost. Big, very vig- 
orous plant. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65. 
Paul's Scarlet 
This old-time favorite puts on a spectacular spring 
show no matter where you plant it. The brilliant 
scarlet blooms are produced in great clusters and 
they maintain their bright color until the last petal 
has dropped. $1.75 each; 3 for $4.65. 
Renae 
This is a graceful willowy plant with canes to 10 
feet or so. There is almost never a thorn and the 
shining green foliage is practically evergreen in mild 
areas. In the spring the plant is literally covered 
with double blooms of lavender-pink, about 2'% 
inches across. Renae is another everblooming kind 
which follows the big spring show with a continuous 
display of buds and blooms until late fall. Plant Pat. 
No. 893. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.60. 
New For 1957 
Spectacular 
A hardy newcomer with scarlet buds and 3 inch 
double blooms of glowing orange-red. The color is 
new in climbers and Spectacular reaches a new high 
in brilliance when every branch is festooned tightly 
with colorful roses. The plant is vigorous, medium 
in size, and its good foliage and long arching canes 
make it an ideal climber for use on a fence, or for 
covering a wall. We can’t think of anything—plant 
or otherwise—which could be more colorful. Plant 
Pat. applied for. $2.50 each; 3 for $6.60. 
Climbers In Containers 
From May through November, many of these climb- 
ers may be had in 5 gallon containers at somewhat 
higher prices. These are an extra year old, trained 
on long stakes and ready to bloom without a year of 
waiting. These are available in our Southern Cali- 
fornia salesyards. They are too heavy and bulky to 
ship economically.
