Max Singer, raised by Lacharme from the crossing of Rosa multiflora and Gen. Jacqueminot, and sent out in 1885, gives high promise of being a valuable addition to the list of hardy red climbing roses. The flowers are of medium size, of a bright cherry-red color, produced abundantly in clusters of three or four. The plant is of vigorous climbing habit with good foliage, and makes a very desirable climbing or pillar rose.

There is one other Rose of considerable note, although neither a Tea scented variety nor a Hybrid Perpetual in the ordinary sense of the term; but it promises, nevertheless, to be a considerable acquisition. This is Max Singer (Lacharme), a variety raised from a cross between Rosa Polyantha and Hybrid Perpetual General Jacqueminot, and sent out as a climber, non-remontant. The flowers were also said in some English catalogues to be "singly borne;" but this proves to be a mistake, for the flowers, so far from being borne singly, are developed in very large and handsome clusters, and if it cannot be called strictly "remontant," it is at the same time a continuous bloomer, the maiden plants having been in flower unintermittently from the middle of June until the middle of September. The plant is of a vigorous climbing habit, and the flowers, which are above medium size, quite double, and well formed, are of a bright cherry-red colour. Good red climbing Roses are none too numerous, and we have to thank M. Lacharme for a most promising addition in an entirely new line, which, it may be hoped, he will think it worth while to pursue further. T. W. G.
