ROSES IN GENERAL CULTIVATION. 43 
only one of the strongest growers among 
them, but yields fully as many flowers and 
of quite as good quality, as the parent plant. 
None of them make growth enough to cover 
large buildings, but for growing on a trellis 
or pillar they are very desirable. We are 
likely to have many valuable additions to 
this class in the near future; it is already an 
important group. Besides Climbing Jules 
Margottin, the most valuable members of the 
group which we have tested are Reine Marie 
Henriette, Princess Louise Victoria, and 
Climbing Victor Verdier. The former was 
raised from the Climbing Tea, Mme. Bérard, 
fertilized by General Jacqueminot; it is a 
highly scented red rose, somewhat resem-

autumnal sort will give a number of blooms

Victor Verdier differs mainly from the parent 
in being of stronger growth, the flowers are 
somewhat smaller, and less freely produced.

which we have not seen in flower but are 
well spoken of. Other varieties in the class 
are Catherine Bell and Red Dragon. Glory

is a new variety sent out by G. Paul, of Ches-
