Text Appearing Before Image: Catalogue of Cottage Rose Garden, Columbus, Ohio JitidCttCf cr ^0nt^H Climbing Sjoscs THESE are strong, healthy growers, blooming freely throughout the Summer and Autumn. Among them are to be found some of the most beautiful and valuable Roses. In the South, where they stand the Winters, nothing can compare with them for beauty of coloring and abundance of bloom, and there nothing else can be nicer than a wall covered with Marechal NielT Lamarque, or Reine Henriette Roses. While some of the varieties are not as well adapted to general garden culture in the North, they are most useful for growing in conservatories, pits and greenhouses, where they reward the extra care and protection by producing thousands of their magnificent blooms.
