Noisette Roses: There are several types of climber:
• Noisette roses: an old group, with small, rosette-type flowers. They need a warm, frost-free position.
• Climbing Tea roses: these are similar to the Noisettes, but with more of a Hybrid Tea appearance.
• Climbing Hybrid Teas: these have a Hybrid Tea nature and are usually sports (natural mutations) of Hybrid Teas.
• Climbing Bourbons: these are
characterized by their old rose-
type flowers. Like most other
climbers, they flower
repeatedly. -
• Modern climbers: this is a relatively new grouping. They are repeat-flowering, with flowers resembling those of Hybrid Teas.

You can spend profitable hours milling about with an appreciative and perhaps uncritical crowd. I remember a tempera painting by John Merton that drew rapturous crowds. It was a white-on-gray work, with gold touches, called "The Crown of Roses and the Crown of Thorns." Perhaps the stylized Virgin was too tender-lovely and her Baby Christ, abandoning a crown of roses for a new toy, the crown of thorns, too religio-sentimental, but the rapt viewers loved it. And so, I admit, did I. The Mother and some little angels in the picture are sharply worried lest the Child be pricked by the thorns.
Year Set minus the crown could cost you 243s but could get it for half or a third of that if you drop one or' grades. The Maundy Set is £15 and £12. Your George V Year Set for 1930 has several coins roc ing in value with the crown topping the list at £40. half-crown coming next at £24, the shilling at £7, and florin at £3. True these values drop to £3, £1, 2s, and 3 VG grade. Even if you leave out the crown and the r crown you would have to think in terms of 346s for remaining seven coins. The Maundy Set stays level at and £12.
On The Other Hand See Non-climbing Roses:These are non-climbing roses. Some of them grow into arching shrubs, some form attractive spreading mounds, while others are more upright.
