Japanese Hardy Climbing Rose 
A Japanese Rose but little known, 
Rosa multiflora Japonica, is the sub- 
ject of our engraving to the left. It 
is hardy, and a fine climber for either 
trellis work or for massing in borders. 
The flowers, about an inch across, are 
borne in immeiVse clusters, are pure 
satiny white, with a bunch of yellow 
stamens. They have a rich rose fra- 
grance, which perfumes the air for a 
long distance. The flowers are followed 
by an abundance of large red fruits 
that ornament the plants all winter. 
A Vista Through the Roses 
A rustic retreat, entwined with hardy Climbing Roses, is 
represented at top of page, a delightful spot from which to 
view a pleasing prospect, enhanced by the pervading influence 
of Climbing Roses.
