‘Someone asked a rose grower of great experience what type of roses 
would be best for planting. The expert asked, ‘What kind do you like?’ 
The answer was, ‘I like Hybrid Teas.” The reply was ‘Then that is the 
kind you should grow, ” _— WitiaM S. Brock 
DR.. HUEY CLIMBER. *AHRS 77 7oem toe -20 feet. 
So healthy, and vigorous is now a leading California under-stock. So 
oak-hardy, Neville Miller in north-eastern Pennsylvania reports “no freeze 
back" without protection. Blooms in clusters of 2¥2 inch crimson-maroon 
flowers enlivened by light centers and yellow stamens. Makes “an eight 
foot pillar studded with garnet jewels.” 
Due to uncertainties of bud-take, etc., we nearly always have a plenti- 
ful supply which we can sell for beautiful hedge or fence planting.

DREAM GIRL CLIMBER. Patent 643. ARS 71%. 8 - 10 feet. 
The “law of compensation” is well illustrated here. Slower to climb than 
the rampant growers, but nothing slow about its blooming habit—lavish 
from early season to late frost. Just about the 'blcoomingest’”’ climbing 
rose we know about. The 3% inch, 60 petal flowers, with the spicy 
fragrance are produced on a very handsome, disease-resistant plant. 
If you want to cover a 20 foot garage in one season, definitely NO! But 
for a beautiful pillar or tractable climber, a very enthusiastic YES! 
‘A dream of a salmon-pink bloom of unusual substance for a climber... 
add a generous dash of delicious, invigorating fragrance and scatter dozens of 
these flowers on a neat and clean, hardy plant, and you have one of my top pet 
roses.” Hortense Wild. 3 for 6.00 each 2.25 
EDNAH THOMAS. Climbing Hybrid Tea. 15 - 20 feet. 
In our opinion the best of the very large-flowered, double, salmon-pink 
climbers, yet for some unknown reason, after several seasons, we must 
admit it does not sell. Most climbing roses, the first year, lean strongly 
either to blooming or growing, but this one does both and in a big way] 
You, friends, largely determine what roses the nurseryman grows, but, 
please, will somebody tell us what's wrong with Ednah Thomas? Certainly 
not the price. 
Summer 1954. The other day as we stopped to look at Ednah Thomas in 
the field, I asked a visitor what was wrong with it. “Wrong?” said he, “why 
it’s a magnificent rose!” and proceeded to add it to his 1955 order. 1.50 
ELEGANCE. Brownell Climber. 15 - 20 feet. 
Everything about Elegance is big and healthy from the very large glossy 
dark foliage to the enormous double blooms of canary yellow, frequently 
6 inches across. Performs beautifully in our fields and is highly recom- 
mended for California and everywhere! Felicitations, Mr. Brownell— 
you have given the rose-world a truly elegant climber. 1 
ENCHANTMENT. Patent 737. ARS 64%. Medium. 
Long pointed buds open to a huge, 30 petalled rose in shell-pink with pale 
yellow base. ‘Every blossom a fresh miracle of form and delicate color- 
-ing."’ Leathery foliage and long-stemmed, upright grower.
