CLIMBING, MOSS 



CLIMBING. 



These are strong rampant growers frequently throw- 

 ing up canes twelve to fifteen feet high in a season 

 when estabhshed. They are indispensable for covering 

 trellises, fences, walls, verandas, &c., converting the 

 rudest arbor into a matchless bower of beauty. The 

 varieties are all tried and tested ; the cream of all the 

 Climbers. They are entirely hardy and should be 

 given good, soil and planted where they are to remain. 

 They bloom in June with a profusion that is simply 

 bewildering.

 mine shaded to pink ; very double and in large clus- 

 ters ; has few thorns.

 grant roses, in great abundance, usually in large clus- 

 ters, from June until frost. A vigorous and i-apid 

 grower, and trails gracefully over whatever it may be 

 placed against. This rose is intei-esting from the fact 

 that it is the variety yet growing at Mount Vernon, 

 and which our first pi-esident named for his mother.

OTHER ROSES. 91 



MOSS ROSES. 



Moss roses are strong and robust growers, absolutely 

 hardy, and especially adapted to outdoor culture. Most 

 of them bloom but once each year. The fiowers and 

 buds are large and sweet and with their mossy envel- 

 ope, reach the highest form of poetical beauty among 

 Roses. They rarely bloom until the second year after 

 planting and continue to increase in size and effective- 

 ness for a generation. While of the easiest culture and 

 able to hold their own anywhere, they reward generous 

 treatment and hberal manuring by an increase in num- 

 ber, size and fi'agrance of their lovely buds. 



Blanche I^oreau. Profuse clusters of large, full fiow- 

 ers, pure white, sweetly fragrant and abimdantly 

 mossed with deep green.
