Climbing Polyanthas and Hardy Climbers 



The climbing polyanthas, popularly known as 

 ramblers, have in a comparatively short time become

 abundance of their bloom. They are well adapted 

 for forming pillars and for covering pergolas and arches, 

 often indicating the way to the garden. 



Among these roses the crimson rambler, an intro- 

 duction from Japan, is the one of the masses, the rose 

 which adorns a wayside cottage with the same luxuriant 

 beauty that it gives to a secluded rosarium. The glory 

 of Long Island as seen from the railway during the

Of this famous rose there is now an offspring which 

 blossoms continuously, the so-called ever-blooming 

 crimson rambler. The joy it gives, therefore, may be 

 had until well into the autumn instead of passing 

 away with July. 



The Keystone is also an ever-blooming climber that
