Climbing Mrs. W. J. Grant (The E. G. Hill Co., 

 Ltd., 1899). — A vigorous growing free flowering sport 

 of this well-known Rose suitable for arches but at 

 its best on a wall, where it is unusually early and 

 produces quantities of flowers of good size and 

 quality. The three climbing sports above mentioned 

 can all be relied on as excellent climbing Eoses for

 and best grown as a pillar or on a screen. Does well 

 on a wall.

 constantly trying to rise from the base of the plant 

 instead of high up on the shoots, as would be the 

 case with a true rambler like Polyantha Simplex, 

 for instance. The wood and foliage, covered with
