The Fcmberton roses in mMU>ral arc scrambling shrubs which 

 may be ,u,r(n\'n cither as bushes or trained on jiillars. Most of 

 them arc \'ii;()r()us and need plent\' of room for their best develoji- 

 ment, as tliey arc not adapted to stand se\ere pruning'. Tliey 

 are seldom entirely out of bloom bet\\een June and frost. Their 

 flowers ranii,c from white and yellow lo carmine, and ihey usually 

 provide a dis])lay of ornamental hips in the fall if the flower 

 clusl(M-s are not pruned away. One of the best \^aricties is Pros- 

 perity which is smothered in whit(> rosettes in June, with scat- 

 tered blooming periods until frost, ll makes an admirable pillar 

 rose six teet high. Sammy, Moonlight, Daybreak, and (d\'tem- 

 nestra are other good varieties. A])i)arenlly, there are no defi- 

 nite I'ccoixls ot the ancestry of these hybrids except that uioscliata 

 or its \ariclies played an important part. The presumption is 

 thai this species crossed with garden \-arieties of the Hybrid Tea 

 and Noisette groups ga\e rise to the IVmberlon roses. 



Climiuxc. R()si<:s 



At this point it is ]5erhaps well to turn our consideration to the 

 roses used for furnishing pergolas, pillars, trellises, festoons, etc. 

 Many dillerent species have been invoK'cd in the ])roducti()n of 

 roses tor these purposes. 



Austrian Brier Hybrids 

 Rosd Joetida. Le Reve and Star of Persia are two /Vustrian 

 Briei" hybrids referable lo this species, tlu> former being the result 

 ot a c^i'oss between Mme. Eugene X'erclier (H.l'.) and I\M'sian 

 \ ellow, a x'ariety of R. foetidd. 



Arysliire Roses 

 Rosd (irvcjtsis. The A\'rshire Roses originated from this species, 

 culti\ale(l in Kurope sincc^ 1750. The\' aw used (o a consider- 

 able extent in Knglish gardens but ai'(> extrt'mcK' scarce in this 

 country. The group is re])resented in our gai'dcn by tlie variety 

 Ruga, (he result ot a cross bt^tweiMi R. arvensis and R. chinensis. 



Banksiitii Roses 

 Rosd Hdiikside. The Banksian Rose is an e\ ei'green climber, 

 not hardy except in regions ha\ing mild winters. It is a cluster-
