(Feb 1856) Page(s) 59. "Roses for the South" by Robert Nelson, of Macon, Georgia. Noisette Roses. Augusta.—So much has been said of this new yellow climber that it may not be out of place to say a few words about it. It was raised a few years ago in Ohio, and is a very fine yellow climbing rose. It resembles, however, the "Solfatara" so much that it is hardly worth while to raise both varieties. Its chief merits in preference to the "Solfatara" is, that it is perfectly hardy in the North, where the climate is entirely too severe for the "Solfatara".
