XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 315 



no faults, and was deservedly awarded the Gold 

 Medal of the National Eose Society. 



Billard et BarrS (Pernet-Ducher, 1899).— Probably 

 the best semi-hardy yellow climber suitable for 

 pillar or wall. Very fine in the half open bud 

 stage. 



Bouquet d'Or (Ducher, 1872). — Another of the 

 Gloire de Dijon family, and one of the best, being 

 quite distinct in colour, as hardy as the type and 

 superior to it in form, nearly good enough to show ; 

 a fine yellow with coppery centre. This Eose 

 was sent out, probably by accident, as a Noisette : it 

 has rather more of a branching habit than others of 

 the same family, suitable for walls, arches or pillar. 



Carmine Pillar (Paul & Son, 1895). — For a single 

 Eose which is not an autumnal, this is perhaps one 

 of the best. It is very bright in colour and free- 

 flowering, remaining in bloom a good while, makes 

 a fine pillar and does well on an arch. 



Gheshunt Hybrid (Paul & Son, 1873). — Eliminated 

 by the editors of this edition. 



Claire Jacquier (Bernaix, 1888) .— Eather sus- 

 ceptible to frost but a very vigorous grower, the 

 flowers are produced in clusters and when estab- 

 lished the rose is very free flowering — colour 

 yellow. 



Climbing Caroline Testout (Chauvry, 1902). — A 

 very reliable climbing sport of this well-known Eose 

 with all the good qualities of its parent, suitable for 

 arches and walls. 



Climbing K. A. Victoria (A. Dickson & Sons, 

 Ltd., 1897). — A useful Eose for walls or pillars not 

 so vigorous as the last named but quite reliable. 



Climbing Devoniensis (Pavitt, 1858). — Eliminated 

 by the editors of this edition.
