evergreen foliage. This valuable Rose has one~ 
most desirable piece of good manners as a climber ; 
‘other Noisettes and Roses of the Gloire de Dijon 
race are apt, when grown as climbers, to become 
weak and bare of foliage towards the bottom so that 
all the blooms are out of reach and the plants look: 
unsightly from the naked condition of the lower 
branches. This isnot the case with Réve d’Or, and it 
adds considerably to its merits as a climber that the 
lower parts of the plant are fairly covered with 
blooms and foliage. The blooms come in clusters, 
well shaped, of much the same colour as Safrano and 
’ Sunset, but not good enough in shape, size, or 
lasting qualities for exhibition. It is wonderful as a 
free-bloomer, the plant being smothered with flowers 
from top to bottom during the first crop, and a fair 
amount of blooms continue into the autumn. Quite 
hardy in this country, a capital Rose for arches, and 
all round one of the very best of climbing Roses. 
Not so large as Reine Marie Henriette or even 
Gloire de Dijon, but superior to either in its manner 
of growth on the lower parts of the plant. 
Ruby Queen (Conard and Jones, 1899).—Not so- 
well known as it deserves. Early loose flowers—in 
small truss. Recommended as a weeping standard. 
Tausendschin (Schmidt, 1907).—A charming ad- 
dition to the dwarf pillar Roses, colour bright satiny 
pink, the flowers produced in clusters with a 
pendulous habit that stand well out from the 
fohhage. 
Tea Rambler (Paul and Son, 1903).—A beautiful 
Hybrid tea with strong polyanthaleanings—a rampant 
- grower, very free flowering, its only fault is. that it is 
not perpetual. Colour deep coppery pink in the bud,
