NEW CLIMBING ROSE.

One of the bluest attractions at the National Rose Society's autumn show, which, was held at the Horticultural Hall, Westminster, London, recently, was a climber produced from the "Daily Mail ecented bush rose. This new plant, which was exhibited by Mr. W. E. B. Archer and his daughter, of Ashford, Kent, haa the rich red fragant flowers of its parent and grows rapidly. "I believe lam the first grower to get a climbing sport from the 'Daily Mail' rose," Mr. Archer said. "It hae proved a great success." Another big attraction among the new roees was the "Evening- News." This has been produced by Messrs. G. F. Letts and Sons, of Hadleigh, Suffolk, from the "Daily Mail" red rose. Ite colour is a soft apricot yellow. For the first time in many years the National Rose Society's gold medal has been won by an English, firm) Messrs. Chaplin Brothers, Ltd., Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. The winning rose—a fiery scarlet, with blooms so erect that they need no- wiring—took eight years to perfect. It has been named W. EChaplin.: The silver-gilt medal was won by Messrs. S. McGredy and Son, of Portad'own, Northern Ireland, with Portadown Bedder.
