CLIMBERS 



General Jacqueminot. Deep cherry red; blooms 

 prolifically in the spring, the flowers being of good 

 form and petallage and fragrant; later in the season 

 it occasionally gives blooms in summer and autumn. 

 Requires winter protection in the North only. 



There are quite a number of the Hybrid Tea 

 climbing sports, but those given above represent 

 the main shades. There is very little to choose 

 between any of them. They are all of approxi- 

 mately the same habit, growth, and blooming 

 qualities. 



Unfortunately there are no yellow climbing Hy- 

 brid Teas which we can recommend. Madame 

 Hector Leuillot is a yellow climbing Hybrid Tea 

 but its canes winter kill, and although the plant 

 lives we consider it a collector's rose and have so 

 placed it in the main list. 



In our second division we have placed all the 

 other climbing or rambling roses which have given 

 us the best results, most of them being Hybrid 

 Wichuraiana. Except where noted they are abso- 

 lutely hardy and of much more vigorous growth 

 than the Hybrid Tea climbers, though as a rule 

 they only bloom for a short season in the early 

 summer and a few have some autumn or sum- 

 mer flowers. With these we have also included 

 the best of the many other varieties of climbers
