A well-grown plant of this form of a strik-

GOOD SUMMER-FLOWERING 



CLIMBING ROSES. 



The best summer-flowering climbing 

 roses, apart from the Wichuraianas, must 

 be looked for chiefly in the multiflora scan- 

 dens section, popularly known as the Ram- 

 blers. Two-thirds of the climbers described 

 in this article belong to this section^ the 

 lemaining third is made up with one sem- 

 pervirens, one hybrid C^iina or Musk, one 

 hybrid tea, and one hybrid from Lspvigata. 

 ]\Iany might think that the Ayi*shire and 

 Eour^:aldt roses should be represented, and, 

 of course, no collection of climbing roses
