'Cli. Columbia'. Climbing Hybrid Tea. 10- 15 feet. Kitty Simpson, a real horticulturist, once wrote me . . . "Impossible now to find that grand old Climbing Hybrid Tea, 'Columbia', which bloomed almost all the time and is much prettier than many of today's roses." I told her I'd grow it if she could send me budwood. She did!
So, thanks to Kitty, we now have this lovely rose with its shiny, dark foliage . . . long, pointed buds. . . and very double flowers of glistening rose-pink, richly perfumed. 3 for $5.25 each $2.00
