a Hybrid Tea with setigera blood in it ; it is a very useful climber 
and good both early and late. 
Of the pink climbers 'Tea Rambler,' 'Blush Rambler,' and 
' Dorothy Perkins ' give a useful succession, flowering in the order 
named, while * American Pillar ' is perhaps the most effective climber 
we have. It has dark, glossy foHage and single flowers with a white 
eye. Two pretty single-flowered cHmbers flowering rather early are 
* Flora Mitton ' and * Mrs. Rosalie Wrinch,* the latter possessing 
rather large flowers, while ' Dawn,' which is nearly single; is useful 
for decoration. 
Other good pink climbers are ' Chatillon Rambler,' ' Ethel,' and 
' Tausendschon,' while ' Leontine Gervais,' which has a tinge of 
yellow in the pink, has sometimes quite a pretty shape, and with this 
I should name * Frangois Juranville ' as being distinctly fragrant. 
One of the most delightfully fragrant pink roses with beautiful foliage 
and nicely formed flowers is the Bourbon ' Zephyrine Drouhin.* 
It is not a true climber, but will make a beautiful hedge up to 6 feet 
or so, or can be grown as a large bush. It has the advantage of being 
nearly thornless. ' Christine Wright ' and "the Australian ' Rosy 
Morn ' are large-flowered varieties very showy in the garden. Among 
shades between white and pink I have already referred to ' Evangeline ' 
for its delightful fragrance. * Lady Godiva,* a sport from * Dorothy 
Perkins,' is a pretty soft shade of pale pink, and * Dorothy Dennison,' 
said to be a seedling, is rather like it. 
' Sweetheart ' is a pretty little bunch-flowered Rose, while ' Flora ' 
looks well early in the year. 
* Paul Transon ' is worth growing, having good foliage and a 
distinct autumn flowering. 
White climbers are rather numerous. Of the large-flowered type 
' Mme. Alfred Carriere ' is of the best ; the flowers are profuse if properly 
pruned and trained, fairly well formed, with a fragrance of their own, 
and the plant flowers again in autumn. It is a great favourite on 
church walls, and this is the best way to grow it. 
' Purity ' is one of the best white climbers, and after its journey 
to America is now obtainable in this country. It is a hybrid Wichu- 
raiana with large flowers for the type and quite a number of adventi- 
tious blossoms in autumn. Of the closer-flowered forms, perhaps the 
best is 'Sanders White,' 'White Dorothy' being too apt to sport 
back to its parent. Two strong growers are the hybrid Briar ' Una,' 
and the hybrid Musk ' The Garland,' either of them, if space be 
allowed, making a big bush or tangle. 
' Silver Moon ' has very prettily shaped single flowers, but they 
are not produced in sufficient quantity to make much show in the 
garden. 
For their freedom the old-fashioned little button-shaped flowers 
and very vigorous growth * Dundee Rambler ' and ' F^licite et Per- 
petu6 ' should be remembered. 
I will mention here Mr. Pemberton's ' Moonlight,' a good grower.
