as the Crimson Rambler in large clusters; flowers of medium size in immense clusters 
often 35 to 40 flowers in a single cluster; very sweet scented. Color a clear, decided 
yellow; has successfully withstood, unprotected, a continued temperature of from zero 
to two degrees below, proving it to be the hardiest of all yellow climbing roses. It is a
