140 THE GARDEN BEAUTIFUL 



PINKS 



Climbing Belle Siebrecht is but a variety of the 

 bush sort aspiring to higher levels; a good rose. 

 Climbing Cecile Brunner's story may be told in the 

 same words, as is also true of Climbing Caroline 

 Testout. Dorothy Perkins is a shell-pink hybrid of 

 the wichuriana class that does not mildew in places 

 where this fungus seriously interferes with other 

 small-flowering sorts, all of which belong to the 

 polyanthas. Gainsborough is a satiny-blush hybrid 

 tea that climbs vigorously and flowers fairly freely 

 with blossoms of good size. The Pink Cherokee, as 

 its name implies, is but a colored sport from the old- 

 time favored white. A fairly good mass bloomer of 

 rather weakly light pink, bearing an abundance of 

 small flowers, is the German Tausenshon, meaning in 

 English, thousand beauties. 



REDS 



A description of Climbing Papa Gontier may be 

 found under the bush Gontier, but Climbing Souv. 

 de Wootton, H. T., is far superior to the bush sort, a 

 free-flowering magenta-crimson. Crimson Rambler, 

 Poly., bears clusters of small flowers and is a general 

 favorite where roses are not attacked by mildew. 

 Francois Crousse, H. T., is the deepest in color of all 

 red climbers and a most excellent sort. In the Red 

 Cherokee, or Ramona, we have the jewel of the 

 group. Reine Marie Henriette, H. T., is that deep 

 rose climbing sort seen over all of California ; a gen- 

 eral favorite. Reine Olga de Wurtemburg is a half- 

 double hybrid tea that has been happily described as 

 the climbing Ragged Robin.
