The Ayrshire Roses, amongst the most popular of our climbing Roses, originated from Rosa arvensis . Among them are Queen of the Belgians , Alice Gray , Dundee Rambler, and many others very generally grown for wreathing arches and pillars and covering walls. They are not only beautiful, but have the additional advantages of being absolutely hardy, and at the same time the strongest growing and most floriferous of all our garden Roses.

"Forgotten Roses."
It is not surprising that owing to the numerous new Roses many of the excellent older sorts have been crowded out. Beautiful as the Hybrid Teas unquestionably are, I think it will be a bad day for lovers of the Rose if they allow this group to drive out of cultivation many old and well-tried varieties of other classes that are too good to suffer extinction. I often wish there were a National Rose Garden, where every variety could be planted, so that rosarians could see for themselves the true value of each. How some of our much-praised Roses would have to give place to those less known but better, at least in the matter of "doing well" and in point of colour.
I append a list of a few varieties that are comparatively unknown, yet I can recommend every one with the full assurance that they would please the majority of the readers of The Garden. Among what are regarded as climbing Roses not one of the Rambler race can surpass.
Queen of the Belgians is an Ayrshire Rose that few growers are acquainted with. In refined form and delicacy of colouring it reminds one of the Tea climbers. It is excellent for pergolas, &c
