Mr R. T. Hamilton .Climbing Varieties on Standard Stocks. 
Mr. R. T. Hamilton, while deprecating the general use of standards for climbing Roses, points to an exception in Miss Marion Manifold.  Treated as described by him, it can become a striking feature in the garden:—
The budding of climbing varieties on standard stocks is to be deprecated. There are exceptions to every rule, however, and one exception is Miss Marion Manifold. Wherever an extra large head is required, this Rose fulfils the purpose, as the canes can be slightly shortened and bent down, thus producing large numbers of quality blooms. This Rose in standard form should never be planted too close to a path, however, or its growth is likely to prove embarrassing.

We come to a trellis on which Marion Manifold proves its greatness amongst red climbers. This plant was given to me by Mr. Adamson, who raised it, before the Rose was distributed, and 1 was asked to describe it, which may account for many in New Zealand placing this fine Rose in error to my credit.

p109. T. A. Stewart [in England], Old World Roses and Gardens. Marion Manifold, which is perhaps the most beautiful of all our climbing roses in australia, I found in one or two gardens, but it had apparently not mpressed itself upon the growers or, more probably, had not been given a fair show. At Bath I mentioned the fact to some of the growers that in my garden this rose sometimes throws canes from nine to twelve feet long, and from their remarks I rather judged that they thought my rose yarns grew as tall as my roses.

The list of 12 climbing roses published last week among the roses recommended by the National Rose society of Victoria represents the leading varieties suitable for growing on pergolas, fences, arches, summer-houses, and on the walls of one story houses. ‘Black Boy’ and ‘Marion Manifold’, the first two roses on the list are both red roses, and are both Australian raised. ‘Miss Marion Manifold’ was raised by Mr. Adamson at Camperdown and sent out in 1913. It is a particularly vigorous climber, blooms over a long period from spring until late autumn, carrying large blooms. It is an instance of a rose which unites very vigorous growth with fine flowering capabilities. If planted in a position facing east, so that the wood may ripen under the winter sunshine, and in a clay soil, this rose will grow from 20 to 30 feet in height, with a wide spread.
