Climbing Roses 
In these days of multiplicity, the gardener is often put to it to make 
a suitable choice from the long lists of varieties which appear in every 
catalogue. The following list of climbing roses has been condensed 
(in form, not in number of varieties) from one written for The Garden- 
ers' Chronicle by Mr. E. Molyneux. It is interesting to notice how 
many of the varieties originated in America. 
American Pillar (Conrad, 1909) — Flowers a charming shade of 
deep pink with clear white eye and yellow stamens, single and pro- 
duced in large clusters. Growth exceptionally strong. Robust, deep 
green foliage. 
Sander's White — Recent introduction. Best white Rambler 
flowering in July and August. Blooms borne in large masses. Growth 
strong with true Wichuraiana foliage. 
Francois Juranville (Barbier, 1906) — Wichuraiana of the true form. 
Blossoms large for a Rambler. Bright salmon-pink with orange yel- 
low at base of petals. Flowering commences at end of June and con- 
tinues to middle of August. Habit of growth excellent.
