February. The hedge is made of American Pillar, a rose which, together with Dorothy Perkins, should be forever abolished from our gardens. I know this attack on two popular roses will infuriate many people; but if one writes gardening articles one must have the courage of one's opinion.

Dorothy Perkins Rambler
Jackson and Perkins 1901 (R. wichuraiana x Mme gabriel Luizet9
Small, pink, double flowers with a pale salmon-pink sheen produced in large, compact trusses on long, slender green canes; foliage pale green. Flowers in July, but only once. The canes grow to 12-15 ft long and those that have flowered should be removed or thinned out immediately so as to give the new shoots light and air. One of the first valuable varieties among the so-called Wichuraiana hybrids...; it appeared at the turn of the century and is still reckoned among the most beautiful of the climbing roses.
