90 JOUHNAL OF THE EOYAL HORTICULTUEAL SOCIETY. 
The Penzance Briars are successes : the later kinds giving some 
autumn flowers are the most desirable. 
'Crimson Rambler' and the red Ramblers, 'Aglaie,' 'Euphrosyne,' and 
' Thalia,' as well as ' Psyche,' are summer Roses. 
There is a grace in some of the old Ayrshires which gives also variety 
to this class. ' Alice Gray ' and ' Ruga ' throw out slightly waving shoots. 
The ' Garland ' and ' Claire Jacquier ' have masses of flowers. 
Of the single Roses Moschata nivea and ' Carmine Pillar ' as tall, 
and ' Macrantha ' as a shorter pillar are the best. 
But as we are seeking to have our Rose gardens autumnal flowering, so 
we want the pillar Roses in them to be of like character. 
Are any of the H.P.s suitable and desirable if their sucker shoots are 
pruned a little long ? Yes. 
' Ulrich Brunner,' • Marechal Vaillant,' ' Mad. Clemence Joigneaux,' 
and ' Duke of Edinboro' ' and ' Duke of Teck ' make fair pyramids. 
But the cHmbing forms of ' Victor Verdier,' ' Madlle. Eug. Verdier,' 
^ La France,' and ' Chas. Lefebvre ' are useful and amongst the best. 
Probably * Princess Louise,' ' Oakmont,' and ' Glory of Cheshunt ' 
are the three best H.P. pillar Roses. 
Most of the hybrid Teas are too sticky for pillars. 'Longwortli 
Rambler,' ' Pink Rover ' (good, Mr. Woodall tells me, on the Riviera) and 
* Reine Olga ' are amongst the best. 
Of the Noisettes 'A. S. Gray' and 'Reve d'Or ' are fairly good. 
Some of the Dijon Teas, notably 'Bouquet d'Or,' are also good, but few of 
them are really first class. 
A typically good series of autumnal pillar Roses has yet to be developed 
for English gardens. 
I have finished my task. Such experience as I have had has been 
placed at your disposal. If any suggestions of mine may help to make 
the English Rose garden more enjoyable I shall be glad.
