CLIMBING ROSES 



Give Your Garden a New Dimension 

 A Double Delight by Added Height 



Climbing Roses give a lift to a garden, adding variety 

 with their height. Climbers bring blooms to a new, high 

 eye level, serve as background for other flowers and are 

 excellent for dividing areas and outlining property lines 

 in the most pleasant way. These hardy climbers are all 

 large-flowered kinds that give a glorious display in the 

 garden and an unbelievable number of cut flowers. 



Large-flowered climbers usually bloom the second season 

 after planting, from stems grown the first year. So don't 

 prune away the first year's growth of any of these kinds. 

 Later, prune only enough to keep within bounds and remove 

 dead wood.
