ROSES 



creamy blossoms in late June, and quite a fair number in 

 early autumn. Trier is a remarkable rose ; it is scarcely 

 a true climber, but more correctly classed as a pillar rose, 

 since it grows only about 5 feet high. It makes numerous 

 growths, so that it has the appearance of a somewhat 

 slender bush, but the remarkable thing about it is that 

 it is in bloom throughout the summer and autumn. The 

 flowers are white and single, and are produced at the ends 

 of each fresh growth that forms, so one has only to keep 

 Trier growing continually to have continual blossom. 

 Minnehaha is of great vigour and bears large bunches 

 of deep pink blossom, and Tausendschon, less vigorous, 

 has very showy clusters of rose-pink flowers. Rene 

 Andre, a lovely rose, in shades of yellow and red, 

 makes long slender growths that quickly cover an arch 

 or arbour. 



American Pillar is a most vigorous climber with very 

 large single rose-coloured blossoms that are unusually 

 striking. Rubin is a delightful variety. It grows quickly 

 and vigorously, its flowers are quite an uncommon shade 

 of crimson, and the young reddish shoots and leaves add 

 to its attractiveness. Blush Rambler is most lovely 

 when its flowers, like big clusters of Apple blossom, are 

 at their best, although they last in beauty none too long ; 

 this rose is very vigorous. Hiawatha is quite one of the 

 best of all, despite the fact that its crimson blossoms have 

 a bunch of golden stamens for centre, and are therefore 

 single. It lasts longer in beauty than any climbing rose
