Climbing Roses planted on South or West walls require to be 
watered twice weekly from April to September. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
All 2/- to 3/- each, unless otherwise stated. 
Under this heading we include all roses suitable for walls, arches, pergolas, 
bowers, etc., and describe as far as possible the position for which each variety 
is best suited. 
Climbing roses planted on lawns beside carriage drives, if treated in the 
following manner, will form pyramids of wonderful beauty, producing masses 
of blossoms from base to top. A hole 2 feet deep and 2 feet square will accom- 
modate one early and one late blooming rose, insert three stakes 8 to 9 feet long 
in the ground 1 £ feet from the plant, to form the three corners of a triangle; the 
upper ends must be brought together and securely tied with string. The long 
shoots of the Climbing Roses must then be bent and trained round the three 
stakes, and after 2 years' growth the stakes will be entirely hidden by the foliage 
and blossoms. Try • ' Excelsa” and "Gardenia” in this way as an experiment. 
There are many gardens in which the bare trunks of old trees may be made 
objects of great beauty , by planting Climbing Roses at the base of the trunk , and 
training the long shoots round them.
