THE FLOEIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
[ OCTOBEB, 
rose, with cherry-carmine flowers. These are the best and almost only strong 
climbing Teas, but on dwarfer wire frames, and with winter shelter, the strong 
dwarfer-growing Teas might with care be trained up. The best would be 
Catherine Meemet, Goubault, Madame Falcot, Marie van Houtte, 
Perfection de Monplaisir, and Safranot. 
The Tea-scented Noisettes come next, and with a slight protection (say, of 
fern twisted amongst the branches) are fairly hardy. Climbing Aimee Vibeet 
is the best perpetual-flowering white cluster rose; Celine Forestier, a rich sulphur- 
yellow, with good evergreen foliage ; Jeanne d’Aec, pure white, large bunches of 
loose flowers; La Biohe, cream, very large ; and Eeve d’Or, which may be described 
as a climbing Madame Falcot, with almost the same yellowish-buff flowers ; this 
latter cannot be left too long, or be too much twisted or intertwined. Lamarque, 
with its habit of losing its leaves, and Solfaterre, with a like fault, must be pro¬ 
nounced too tender for this culture. Marechal Niel, if planted with the idea of the 
plant being covered in winter—and the wire frames could be easily and pictur¬ 
esquely thatched, letting the straw run down to cover the roots—should succeed 
well, but without protection the pillar would be, until the autumn flowering, and 
frequently even then, blank. 
Amongst the rose-coloured Bourbons, Bouquet de Flore, Sir Joseph 
Paxton, and Catherine Guillot are the best. 
Hybrid Perpetuals furnish the greater part of the red or rose-coloured kinds 
which are suited for this style of growth. The best, taken alphabetically, would 
be : —Annie Alexieff, light rose ; Baron de Bonstetten, dark maroon : Baron 
Prevos^, dark rose ; Climbing Jules Maegottin, cherry-red ; Climbing Victor 
Verdier, cherry-carmine—both these with particularly thin, long, wiry wood ; 
Duke of Edinburgh, scarlet-crimson ; Madame Victor Verdier, deep crimson ; 
Marechal Vaillant, rich shaded crimson ; Madame de Trotter, cherry-red— 
hardly free enough in autumn ; Thomas Mills, vivid crimson—a grand rose for 
the purpose. 
The Hybrid Noisette Perpetuals Boule de Neige, pure white ; Coquette des 
Blanches, slightly-tinted white; and H.B. Princess Louise Victoria, are grand 
and hardy light roses for the purpose. 
It should be said that there are many more hybrid perpetuals that for 
upright pole Pillar Eoses are admirably adapted, but the shoots are too thick 
and stiff to bend readily, or adapt themselves to wire forms. Were it not taking 
too much space, I would give a list of those which in actual trial at Cheshunt have 
made good Pillars. [Please do.] One of the old summer-blooming Climbing Eoses, 
at least, should never be left out of a rose-garden, the best arch-rose we have,— 
Felicitib Peepetue, with its glorious bunches, nay, rather masses or heaps, of 
white flowers. 
For the successful culture of such Pillars, the ground cannot be too well 
prepared; plenty of fresh loam and rotten manure for planting in is essential. 
They need well caring for the first year with water and manure, to get the plants
