HARDY CLIMBING ROSES. 



Climbing Roses are 

 highly valued for 

 training over arbors, 

 trellises and verandas ; 

 also as screens for un- 

 sightly objects, such as 

 old buildings, fences, 

 walls, &c They grow ten ta 

 tweh e feet high and are entirely 

 hardy. They bloom the second 

 year and but once in the season, 

 but are then loaded with splendid 

 Roses, and are among the most beautiful of Flowering 

 plants. The \aiieties desciibed below are the best, 

 and succeed well in all sections of the country. In. 

 the South, where the Ever-Blooming Roses are hardy,, 

 many of them can be used as Climbers.
