OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



which have given us very good results, and one of 

 these climbing Cecile Brunner we have found to 

 to be the most constant bloomer we have tried. 



CECILE BRUNNER. Polyantha Hybrid; sprays; 

 beautifully formed, small. This rose, if secured in 

 three-year-old plants and given heavy whiter pro- 

 tection, has proved in our experience the best 

 bloomer among climbing roses. It is not as vigorous a 

 climber as the Wichuraianas, but makes good growth 

 of eight- to ten-foot canes, on which its miniature, 

 perfectly-formed flowers appear in sprays. The 

 color is flesh cream with a shell pink center. It 

 must not be confounded with the ordinary Cecile 

 Brunner, which is a dwarf Polyantha. We have 

 never seen this rose catalogued excepting by The 

 Conrad & Jones Company, West Grove, Pa. On 

 account of its blooming qualities it is our own favor- 

 ite climbing variety, as it may be expected to bloom 

 splendidly in the spring, quite well in summer, and 

 also hi autumn. There are a few other climbing 

 Polyanthas already catalogued, and several new 

 roses of this class have been introduced during 

 the present year. 



DOROTHY DENNISON. Hybrid Wichuraiana; Den- 

 nison; 1909. Trusses, very light pink; sport of 

 Dorothy Perkins.
