CeiMSON RAMBLER ROSE. 



Few novelties have become so univer- 

 sally grown in such a short time as the 

 Crimson Rambler rose, which was only 

 introduced to the public by C. Turner in 

 1893. It is a variety of Rosa multi- 

 flora, though its immediate parentage 

 seems to be unknown. No less remarkable 

 than the rapidity of its capture of the 

 gardening world is the number of famous 

 roses of which it is already the parent, 

 among them Lady Gay and Hiawatha. 



It has given color to many a garden 

 where it was badly wanted, and yet there 

 are few roses we so often see badly 

 grown, as it will not do well in every 

 soil and position. One of the finest speci- 

 mens I know, says a writer in an Eng 

 lish gardening paper, is growing on a 

 wet clay soil, and where it has the sun 

 little mor«! than half the day, and here 

 it sends up every year one or two shoots 

 ten or twelve feet high, or even more, 

 the result being that, instead of a dense 

 mass of blossom with a little nissety-

green foliage, it makes enormous trusses 

 of blossom that stand out boldly in all 

 directions, and are intermixed with plenty 

 of dark, healthy foliage — a method of 

 growth which is productive of a much 

 finer effect and conducive to a lengthened 

 period of flowering. 



This rose, to be grown to perfection, 

 must have rich feeding, and a good sup- 

 ply of moisture, like most roses, and is 

 better perhaps for some little amount of 

 shade. Hence it does not succeed at all 

 well, as a rule, on a south or southwest 

 wall — in the eastern counties, at any 

 rate — neither does it often do well on 



galvanized wire arches, the proper place 

 for it being on wooden arches and per- 

 golas, while good effects are sometimes 

 obtained by letting it run up trees.
