The New Rambler Roses.
Text Appearing After Image:
THE YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia). The only Hardy Yellow Rose in cultivation. This is a grand companion to the famous Crimson Rambler, equally strong in growth, beautiful in foliage and magnificent in bloom. Its absolute hardiness and its extreme florifer- ousness should make it one of the most popular Roses for years to come. While a strong climber, yet its shoots are so heavy that it can be used to great advantage as a lawn Rose. It also blooms profusely grown in pots, as many as one hundred to one hundred and fifty blos- soms are frequently produced on one branch. As a hardy Rose its color is truly remarkable, being a decided golden yellow. It is also very sweetly scented. THE WHITE RAMBLER. (Thalia Euphrosyne.) The habit is the same as the Crimson and Yellow Ramblers. The color, however, is a pure delicate pink. THE WHITE RAMBLER (Thalia). If anything this is a stronger grower than the above, and eventually it will be found a better white climbing Rose than any in existence. Its hardiness, noriferousness and grand blooms make it a decided acquisition. The Yellow Rambler (Aglaia), THE GOLDEN RAMBLER. (Alister Stella Gray.) Another grand new climber, first introduced by us. We had no idea of its perfectly continuous flowering habit. Our plants have been in bloom the whole sum- mer through and until December. Upon opening, the buds are a pure golden yellow, fading to white, so that yellow and white flowers cover the plant at one time. They are delightfully clove-scented, unlike any other Rose. Dormant plants potted in January were a wonderful sight a few weeks later, being covered with from 200 to 400 buds and flowers each. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER. Although introduced by us only a few years ago, it is now the most popular garden Rose, is without a rival, and the grandest Rose ever introduced. It often grows 10 to 12 feet in a season, and is smothered in spring with immense clusters of glowing crimson flowers. Strong young plants of the above 5 Rambler Roses at 15 cents each, 4 for 50 cts., 1 of each for 60 cts.; 2=year=old, strong plants, 35 cts., 3 for $1. THE NEW "CLEMATIS" ROSE, CAR= MINE PILLAR. Introduced by us in 1896. Its single flowers, 12 to 15 inches in circumference, of the brightest rosy car- mine, cover the stems completely for a length of 10 to 12 feet. 25 cts., 3 for 60 cts.; 2=year old plants, 50 cts. The Crimson Rambler.
