Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have be- 

 come an absolute necessity for 

 beautifying the home, for training 

 over porches, verandas, trellises, 

 and pergolas and for training of 

 low supports to make the most 

 beautiful flowering hedges. Can 

 be grown as individual specimen 

 plants, when properly trained, for 

 they can be kept trimmed to any 

 shape. 



In recent years great advance 

 has been made in the develop- 

 ment of this class of roses. Today 

 there are climbers that have blooms rivaling the 

 Hybrid Teas, and even hardier than roses of the 

 latter class. However, some of the varieties are 

 not as hardy as others, and require some pro- 

 tection in the far north. 



Due to the fact that these roses are hardy, and 

 of extremely vigorous growth, sending forth 

 canes more than ten feet long in a single year. 

 they will survive many winters if the proper kind 

 of plants are used. Plant own-root stock — the 

 Dingee kind — for once planted they last. The 

 growth is strong and heavy, and no wild shoots 

 can come up. 



Climbing American Beauty 



The colors of carmine and crimson are those 

 of the bush rose American Beauty. Excep- 

 tionally fine buds, opening into very large 

 flowers of splendid form, borne on long- 

 stems, and available for cutting. Vigorous, 

 healthy, leathery foliage, retained usually 

 throughout the season. The blooming sea- 

 son is unusually long for a climbing Rose.
