CLIMBING ROSES 



APART from walls, climbling and rambling Roses may be 

 grown very effectively over pergolas. The simpler the 

 pergola the better. At the back of a border uprights 

 of wood may be placed, and these may be connected 

 together by smaller rods or branches ; the wood- work 

 should not be too substantial or conspicuous in any way. 

 In planting such pergolas it is advisable to plant Roses 

 chosen from many sections of the family, so that the 

 flowering period may be prolonged as far as possible. 

 Mr Gordon has suggested the following as a good 

 selection of climbers for a prolonged show of bloom. 



Among the Ramblers Algaia, Claire Jacquier, Crimson 

 Rambler, The Dawson, Dorothy Perkins, Dundee 

 Rambler, Electra, Euphrosyne, Felicite et perpetue, 

 Helene, Leuchstern, Psyche, Queen Alexandra, Thalia, 

 and Thoresbyana. 



Teas. Belle Lyonnaise, Bouquet d'or, Climbing Perle 

 des Jardins, E. V. Harmanos, Gloire de Dijon, Le 

 soleil, Madame Moreau. 



Hybrid Teas. Bardou Job, Climbing Caroline Testout, 

 Climbing Mrs W. J. Grant, Gruss an Teplitz, Long- 

 worth Rambler, Pink Roamer, Reine Olga de 

 Wurtemburg, and the Wallflower. 



Noisettes. Aimee Vibert, Alister Stella Gray, Celine 

 Forestier, Madame Alfred Carriere, and William Allen

An interesting list of the best climbing roses is 

 obtained from the result of the Nickerson Awards for 

 1908, where one of the classes in which votes were
