out another Wichuraiana Hybrid, a cross between a

done well during 1916 and is strongly recommended.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES—Continued 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber—Vivid scarlet shaded 
slightly crimson, but almost a flaming scarlet, a 
most pleasing and striking color. Makes a brilliant 
display for a long time in the garden. The petals 
do not fade like many climbing Roses, but retain 
their bright color, and remain in bloom for from 
two to four weeks. The Rose received the gold 
medal and cup for the best Climbing Rose at the 
National Rose Society’s exhibit. 
At the Rose Society’s Test Garden at Arling- 
ton, D. C., conducted by and in conjunction with 
the Agriculture Department at Washington where 
the American Rose Society held their annual meet- 
ing last spring the most prominent and attracted 
more attention than any other was Paul’s Scarlet 
Climber. Two specimens trained to trellises made 
a wonderful show, while two that had been kept 
pruned as a bush Rose were magnificent specimens; 
' covered with their bright handsome full double 
blooms. At that time they had been in bloom some 
two weeks and were still the bright color while many 
more buds had not opened. 
President S. S. Pennock, Society of American 
Florists, reports from the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris, 
where he was one of the judges at the Rose gardens 
which is as follows: 
“In the climbers Paul’s Scarlet Climber stood 
out in the garden by far the best among the climbers 
and they said that it had been in bloom for over 
two weeks, was still in fine shape and attracted 
the public probably more than any other one 
rose in the garden. There were several plants of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber, and one group of four plants, 
trained up in pyramid shape, made a wonderful show. 
This is rather an attractive way to train Climbers, 
especially where they are as free bloomers as Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber, which presented almost a solid, 
vivid red mass.”’ 
A good strong grower and soon makes a good 
display. Foliage good and free from mildew and 
diseases, as well as insects. 
These sterling qualities will soon win for it a 
reputation far beyond that enjoyed at one time by 
After done blooming 
its bright foliage will make it a most desirable rose.

*VEILCHEN BLAU, or Violet Blue—The Blue 
Rose is one of the most rampant growers we have 
ever seen, covering a large porch in a single 
season. The flowers are borne in loose clusters 
and are a delightful shade of blue—something 
entirely different from any Rose now in culti- 
vation.
