wide, made of a double set of posts, are useful in the wild Single 

 garden for breaking some straight path, or for leading the Roses and 

 eye to some hidden beauty beyond. The two single Roses, some 

 R. macrantha and R. brunonis, should be grown together. p errj etual 

 The first has large single white flowers, blush buds, and pi. i 

 heavy dark foliage ; the second has delicate, pure white clusters, 

 distinct gold stamens, and finely cut leaves of a soft blue green. 

 Una, a large single white, is lovely for arches or pegging, and 

 may be placed alternately with a full pink rambler like 

 Leuchtstern or the noisette Papillon. A few of the larger 

 flowering Roses, such as Captain Christy and Caroline Testout, 

 in their climbing forms, look all the better when mixed with 

 some of the small white clusters. 



Perpetual climbers of the Rambling type are much more 

 difficult to find old-fashioned kinds there are, but very often 

 their names have been lost. A white, with a noisette-like 

 growth and scent, flowering in September in Scotland, and the 

 pink one illustrated on the opposite page, I have been quite 

 unable to trace. This pink Rose, grown against an old fruit 

 tree and almost overpowering it, is singularly attractive. It 

 flowers early, produces wonderful heads of bloom in August 

 on strong canes like a Crimson Rambler, and continues 

 till Christmas. If planted against a wall, it will grow to a 

 great height, but it is seen to greatest perfection perhaps when 

 standing alone, with room to spread and tumble its great shoots 

 around. At St Anne's a pretty, semi-double white Rose, R. 

 pissardii, was growing near by. This makes a charming pillar 

 and is also perpetual. The new Trier, a white cluster with a 

 warm tint of coppery pink in the buds, is also said to be perpetual, 

 but so far with us the young plants have only produced a
