CI/IBRANS’ TIST OF ROSES. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
The varieties comprised in this class are undoubtedly amongst the most 
beautiful and useful of all Roses. Their vigour of growth and profuseness 
of bloom have made them of the greatest value for clothing pillars, Pergolas, 
Arches, Summerhouses, and similar structures ; for covering banks, forming 
fences, and a great variety of other purposes for which a plant of creeping, 
climbing, or rambling habit is required. The colours range from the purest 
white to the most intense crimson. The formation of the flowers varies 
from single in varieties such as Blush Rambler and Hiawatha to 
perfectly double such as the varieties Crimson Rambler , Dorothy Perkins, 
and many others. 
The “ Wichuraiana ” section to which the well-known and beautiful 
Dorothy Perkins belongs, is the hardiest and most vigorous of all climbing 
Roses ; they are also remarkable for the wonderful freedom with which the 
flowers are produced. 
The different classes are indicated thus : Wichuraiana (Wich.) ; Climbing 
Polyantha (Cl. Poly.) ; Boursalt (B) ; Ayrshire (A) ; Evergreen (E). 
NOTE. — Several other Roses of climbing habit will be found in the 
H.P., T., and H.T. sections.
