ery beautiful when its very full white flowers, slightly flushed in the centre with pink, open properly. But they need plenty of sun and a sheltered position to do so in perfection. _Rosa Lucida_ and _Lucida plena_ are two rose-coloured hybrids with handsome reddish foliage. With the Noisettes, Musk, and Macartney roses, we have only touched the fringe of autumn flowering climbers. And three most important classes remain to be noticed. These are-- CLIMBING HYBRID PERPETUALS, TEAS, AND HYBRID TEAS. Among the Hybrid Perpetuals there are several line climbing roses, as well as climbing sports of well-known dwarfs, which are valuable to this class. While roses of specially vigorous growth, but not usually counted as climbers, such as _Magna Charta_, _Margaret Dickson_, _Pierre Notting_, and others, make admirable pillars. But it is among the Tea and Hybrid Tea roses that we find our richest harvest of autumn flowering climbers. Some of these are pure climbers, such as the noble _Gloire de Dijon_ and its descendants; and _Cheshunt Hybrid_, _Reine Marie Henriette_, _Reine Olga de Wurtemberg_, _Belle Lyonnaise_, etc. Many of these and others do grandly as tall standards, making fine heads covered with bloom. And many more can be grown as isolated bush roses, planted out singly with plenty of space round them. _Gruss an Teplitz_, _Gustave Regis_, _Mme. Jules Gravereaux_, the exquisite _Lady Waterlow_, and Cooling's _Apple Blossom_, are specially suited to this form of growth. In the following lists of these three groups of roses, I have, for convenience sake, placed Teas and Hybrid Teas together. NOISETTE ROSES, _R. Noisettiana_. Aimee Vibert. _Vibert_, 1828. White, climbing; there is also a dwarf form. Alister Stella Gray. _Gray_, 1895. Pale yellow, orange centre. Bouquet d'Or. _Ducher_, 1873. Pale yellow, centre copper.
