THE MULTIFLORA ROSES 21 



pillar rose or for growing as a free bush. It reaches a 

 height of about five feet, has rather pale-green foliage and 

 bunches of single white bloom. But its great charm 

 lies in its blossoming throughout the summer and autumn. 

 It is the most perpetual of climbing roses. June 25. 



Veilchenblau. — ^This variety was heralded with a great 

 flourish of trumpets as the long-looked-for Blue Rambler. 

 It is, unfortunately, not blue at all; the colouring of 

 the flowers is a mixture of slate and purple, with perhaps 

 a tinge of blue. It may possibly be the forerunner of a 

 Blue Rambler. June 25. 



Wallflower. — ^A very showy rose, suitable for covering 

 a pole or pillar. The flowers are large and of bright rose 

 colouring. June 25. 



Waltham Bride. — An attractive variety, having 

 bunches of white fragrant flowers. June 10. 



Wedding Bells. — ^A rose somewhat similar to 

 Tausendschon, with loose clusters of rather small, bright 

 rose-coloured blooms. June 20.
