Some early Among climbers Madame Alfred Carriere a Hybrid Tea 



Climbing with us excels all others for early and late blooming. The end 

 Roses f May sees it in bud, through June it is covered with its very 

 sweet white flowers, and up to Christmas there are always good 

 blooms to be found. It needs only plenty of room ; we have it 

 on walls and pergola and fence, growing equally well every- 

 where, but perhaps most successfully on the fence, where the 

 long shoots can spread as they like, not even restricted by the 

 clinging embrace of Clematis flammula. Other quite early Roses 

 and rampant growers are : 



ReVe d'Or yellow, beautiful in Spring and Autumn, with 



red-brown shoots. 



Paul's Carmine Pillar, and the White Pillar both single 

 Roses, which rush into bloom the beginning of June, 

 and make sheets of red and white, but, unfortunately, 

 soon come to an end. They must have room ; we 

 have the red on a wall about ten feet high, and it 

 is quite difficult to know what to do with the new 

 wood each year. 



Aglaia with cream and yellow clusters. 

 Papillon a pink noisette, which flowers again in the 

 Autumn, and bears bunches of from three to twelve 

 good-sized flowers, with fascinating, well-shaped buds 

 varying in colour from cream to several shades of full 

 pink ; it does equally well on a wall or pillar. 

 Reine Olga de Wurtemburg, Reine Marie Henriette, 



Cheshunt Hybrid three good reds. 

 Marechal Niel, the Banksian Roses, and Fortune's 



Yellow. 



The latter is one of the earliest of all, but lovely as it is
