(1935) Page(s) 102. The widely planted Climbing American Beauty is a glorious burst of bloom for a week or ten days, then one of the ugliest sights in the garden with its drooping, bluish, bedraggled dead blooms. It is not worth its space.

(1935) Page(s) 102. The Climbing Polyantha, Red Explorer, a sport of 'Edith Cavell', is vigorous and you can almost always find a cluster of blooms on it. It is one of the rambler type that does not mildew, and I think replaces the old 'Crimson Rambler'.

(1935) Page(s) 103. Gloire des Rosomanes ('Ragged Robin') will give brilliant rose-pink blooms almost any time in the season that would cheer up the bluest day. What a shame it is less esteemed because used for the very humble purpose of an understock!
(1935) Page(s) 105. Kitty Kininmonth, an Australian, should have a place in every garden; it was the most startling and unbelievably beautiful rose in our garden...
(1935) Page(s) 105. Climbing Lady Ashtown is likely to revert to the bush, but if you get a true climber, produces perfect blooms on long stems.
