Ayrshire Boursault, Miscellaneous 
and 
Evergreen Hardy Climbing Roses. 
The following kinds are most valuable for covering spaces quickly. All are free bloomers, and 
carry abundance of large clusters of flowers. May be planted in any situation outdoors, either as 
climbers, pillars, hedges, or pegging down. All are hardy and vigorous growers ; they should be cut 
back fairly hard in the first Spring of planting, and afterwards be allowed to grow as they like, with¬ 
out pruning, except to cut out dead or bad wood.
