Paul Transon

(Wichurana Rambler) Double flowers of rich salmon with coppery overtones. Shiny, coppery tinted, dark green leaves combine ideally with the flowers to create a very good rose.

New Dawn

(Climber) An outstanding pale pink rose. Shapely and perfumed. A sport from 'Dr.Van Fleet', which it has superseded.

Francois Juranville

(Wichurana Rambler) An unusual tangle of petals create a nondescript individual pink bloom but when in full flush this rose is spectacular and, in my opinion, far superior to the more common 'Albertine' with which it is sometimes confused.

Awakening (Rambler)

(Climber) A sumptuous, fully double, quartered form of 'New Dawn' with all its parent's characteristics, including continuity of flower and colour. Slender habit.

Albertine

(Wichurana Rambler) A famous old rambler, with a strong constitution. Masses of double pink and gold flowers on a very vigorous plant.

Albéric Barbier (Weeping Standard)

(Wichurana) A vigorous rose. Creamy-white flushed yellow. Delightfully muddled when open. Excellent glossy foliage. A good variety.

Laure Davoust

(Rambler) Large cascading clusters of clear lavender-pink, double, cupped flowers paling attractively with age to blush white. Plentiful foliage. Healthy.

Debutante

(Wichurana Rambler) Pale rose pink clusters of small, fragrant flowers amid glossy foliage.

Alexander Girault

(Wichurana Rambler) The flowers have a strong fruity scent and are double with muddled petals of an attractive but unusual mixture of deep rose pink and copper. Vigorous with dark green foliage, so excellent for growing up into trees. Also suitable for growing against a north wall. Shade and poor soil tolerant. Bred by Barbier.

Excelsa

(Wichurana Rambler) Large trusses of small, light cerise crimson flowers on spindly but strong shoots. Very vigorous. A long flowering season, then occasional repeats, until winter.

Albéric Barbier (Rambler)

(Wichurana Rambler) A vigorous rose. Creamy-white flushed yellow. Delightfully muddled when open. Excellent glossy foliage. Very healthy and one of the best ramblers.
