XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 315 
no faults, and was deservedly awarded the Gold 
Medal of the National Rose Society. 
Billard et Barré (Pernet-Ducher, 1899).—Probably 
the best semi-hardy yellow climber suitable for 
pillar or wall. Very fine in the half open bud 
stage. 
Bouquet d'Or (Ducher, 1872).—Another of the 
Gloire de Dijon family, and one of the best, being 
quite distinct in colour, as hardy as the type and 
superior to it in form, nearly good enough to show ; 
a fine yellow with coppery centre. This Rose 
was sent out, probably by accident, asa Noisette : it 
has rather more of a branching habit than others of 
the same family, suitable for walls, arches or pillar. 
Carmine Pillar (Paul & Son, 1895).—For a single 
Rose which is not an autumnal, this is perhaps one 
of the best. It is very bright in colour and free- 
flowering, remaining in bloom a good while, makes 
a fine pillar and does well on an arch. 
Cheshunt Hybrid (Paul & Son, 1873).—Eliminated 
by the editors of this edition. 
Claire Jacquier (Bernaix, 1888).—Rather sus- 
ceptible to frost but a very vigorous grower, the 
flowers are produced in clusters and when estab- 
lished the rose is very free flowering — colour 
yellow. 
Climbing Caroline Testout (Chauvry, 1902).—A 
very reliable climbing sport of this well-known Rose 
with all the good qualities of its parent, suitable for 
arches and walls. 
Climbing K. A. Victoria (A. Dickson & Sons, 
Ltd., 1897).—A useful Rose for walls or pillars not 
so vigorous as the last named but quite reliable. 
Climbing Devoniensis (Pavitt, 1858).—Eliminated 
by the editors of this edition.
