Own-Root Climbers and Ramblers

Dr. W. Van Fleet'

Van Fleet 1900

This is the once blooming rose from which re-blooming

'New Dawn' sported.

Large, pink,

fragrant flowers smother the plant in rose season.

We have seen it growing on railroad banks

completely on its own and thriving for decades.

Thorny. Preferred by some for its huge

display. Fragrance wafts on the air.

SOLD OUT
