Climbing Tea and Noisette Roses 



ALL the varieties in this class are unusually free and continuous bloomers, pro- 

 ducing flowers of rare and striking beauty and of delicious fragrance. They are 

 mostly strong climbers, especially valuable for training over porches, pillars or 

 trellises, where they can have support. 



Varieties marked H. are hardy everywhere with slight protection: where marked M. H., 

 they are moderately hardy, and especially valuable for open-ground cultivation south of 

 Philadelphia.
