Roses for English gardens . ROSE FLORA ON A GARDEN HOUSE. CHAPTER XII ROSES ON WALLS AND HOUSES The name Cluster Rose, which formerly belongedalmost entirely to the older class of garden Rosesknown as the Ayrshires, varieties of sempervirens, andthe Musk Roses, has lately been necessarily extendedto all the beautiful things that the last few years havegiven us, most of them hybrids of Rosa multijiora orpolyantha.
