OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



In 1915 William Paul & Son brought out Cordelia, which they 

 claim is a perpetual flowering climbing rose. Buds coppery yellow, 

 changing to lemon yellow; produced in clusters. This variety blooms 

 on wood of the previous year's growth; and winter kills badly here. 



M. Leenders & Company, of Holland, list an ever-blooming 

 climbing rose in Blanche Frowein; color copper overlaid with 

 golden yellow; but so far this has only shown semi-climbing growth. 



P. Lambert also catalogues several ever-blooming climbers; and 

 in Hugh Dickson's 1916-17 catalogue, the Wichuraiana, Bouquet 

 Rose — color vivid rose pink changing to lilac white — is noted as 

 perpetual flowering. 



It would seem from these introductions that the long-looked-for 

 hardy ever-blooming climbing rose may at least be a reality, but 

 that the growth will be restricted. 



Reports are constantly made that various hardy climbing roses 

 have given summer and fall bloom. As a rule, while these reports 

 are no doubt true, other growers cannot depend upon them as they 

 are very often exceptional cases. 



For climates in which there is little or no frost 

 the following climbers are recommended. With the 

 exception of Shower of Gold, which is a Hybrid Wich- 

 uraiana, they may be expected to give blooms quite 

 well through the season. 



Alister Stella Gray (Noisette). A. H. Gray, 1894. Deep 

 yellow with lighter edges; flowers in clusters. 



Belle Lyonnaise (Tea). Levet, 1869. Canary yellow. 



Celine Forestier (Noisette). Trouillard, 1842. Fairly free 

 flowering; old gold. 



Cloth of Gold (Noisette). Coquereau, 1843. Sulphur yellow, 

 deeper center; large double. 



Gloire de Dijon (Tea). Jacotot, 1853. Buff, orange center; 

 large and double. Perhaps the hardiest of the Tea climbers, but- 

 giving more bloom than the Hybrid Tea Sports, a two-year-old 

 plant having two dozen blooms the first week of November, 1916. 

 Should be budded on Multiflora, and grown on a south wall, in the 

 Middle Atlantic States, for the best results. 



Marechal Niel (Noisette). Pradel, 1864. Bright rich golden 

 yellow; large, full, fine form. 



Madame Alfred Carriers (Hybrid Noisette). Schwartz, 1879. 

 Pure white, very free; a good pillar rose.
