Climbing Rose
Ruth Vestal
If you have never seen the Bride Rose growing at its best in the open ground, you cannot conceive of the beauty of the large, bold, handsome flowers of this new white rose.  It has been called the "Queen of White Roses", and while there are many white varieties of unquestionable excellence, there are none more reliable for outdoor cultivation than the Bride Rose.  Climbing Rose Ruth Vestal is a sport from the Bride, and originated with us, and possesses all the valuable features of its famous parent from which it differs only in habit of growth. It is one of the most rapid growing and vigorous climbing roses we have ever seen, even a small plant making a growth of ten to fifteen feet in a single season.  It is an exceedingly healthy rose, possessing every attribute that a perfect rose should have.  It blooms continuously throughout the season, the first and every year.  The flowers are magnificently made, extra large, deep and double.  The buds are particularly beautiful and the fragrance delicious.  The color is pure snow white, sometimes faintly tinged toward the edges with pale blush.  We consider this one of the best everblooming climbing roses ever sent out, and wherever Marechal Niel is grown this variety will undoubtedly equal it in beauty of flowers.  Price, 25 cents each; five for $1.00.  Two year old plants, 50 cents each.
