Climbing Roses 

 for a Vertical Garden 



If your ground 

 space is extremely 

 limited, plant some 

 Climbers to carry your 

 eye upward. They 

 will form a living 

 curtain of color on a 

 fence or wall or trellis 

 or even over a stump. 

 In pruning climbing roses, don't 

 cut away the first-year canes, be- 

 cause Climbers produce flowers 

 mostly on old wood. Just prune to 

 keep the plant in bounds and to 

 remove dead wood. And don't ex- 

 pect much bloom the first year. 

 It takes a full season to develop the 

 canes necessary to provide the 

 bloom. Remember too that while 

 you can train climbing roses to 

 almost any direction, they do need 

 some support and tying up, so 

 plan accordingly before you plant.
