OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



Reine Marie IIenriette. Hybrid Tea; Levet, 

 1878. Madame B6rard (of Gloire de Dijon) X 

 General Jacqueminot. Deep cherry red; blooms 

 prolifically in the spring, the flowers being of good 

 form and petallage and fragrant ; it occasionally gives 

 blooms in summer and autumn. Requires winter 

 protection. 



In the second division are placed all the other 

 climbing or rambling roses which have given the 

 best results, most of them being Hybrid Wichuraiana. 

 Except in the extreme North they are hardy and 

 of much more vigorous growth than the Hybrid Tea 

 sports, though as a rule they only bloom for a short 

 season in the early summer and a few have some 

 autumn or summer flowers. 



The breeding of this entire class is considerably 

 involved, and different authorities and catalogues 

 list the roses variously as Hybrid Wichuraianas, 

 Hybrid Polyanthas, Polyanthas and Multifloras; for 

 example, Hiawatha is listed in many places as a 

 Hybrid Wichuraiana, whereas this rose is a cross 

 between Turner's Crimson Rambler and Carmine 

 Pillar; the first a Polyantha, and the second usually 

 listed as a Climbing Hybrid Tea. Goldfinch is from 

 Helene, which is a cross between Turner's Crimson 

 Rambler and a seedling of the Polyantha Aglaia, 

 yet this rose is sometimes listed as a Multiflora.
