YELLOW RAMBLER ROSE. (Aglaia.) The new rose, Yellow Rambler, ( Aglaxa.,) is one to which considerable interest attaches, as a yellow flowered climbing rose is what has been long desired in this country. It comes, to us so well recommended from the Old World, that no doubt exists as to its great merit. It is a climbing rose, bearing clusters of fair-sized yellow flowers, the clusters said to contain at times as many as a hundred flowers. It has proved entirely hardy, having stood a temperature of zero without harm, and even lower. The parents of this rose are said to be one of the Japanese Polyantha type and Reve d' Or, the latter a famous climbing tea rose, very popular in Europe. Rosarians are pinning their faith to this rose, just as they did to the Crim- son Rambler, hoping this, the Yellow Rambler, will please them as much as the Crimson did, and indications are that they will not be disappointed.
