Marechal Niel. Noisette. Flowers deep 
lemon-yellow, large, full and globular; of 
good form and fragrant. Growth robust, 
climbing and free-flowering. This grand 
rose originated over sixty years ago and still 
retains its popularity. Does not do best near 
the coast, as it likes heat. 75c. 
CLIMBING LOS > NGELES 
CIg. Rose Marie. Clg. H.T. A most charm¬ 
ing climber that is unusually vigorous. Its 
abundance of deep rose-pink blooms with 
their perfect form and thick crisp petals 
makes it a very valuable addition to the list 
of ever-blooming climbers. 50c. 
Fortune’s Yellow Beauty of Glazen- 
wood). Noisette. Flowers creamy shaded 
orange and rose; semi-double and of good 
form. Foliage bright green. Rampant 
climber and a prolific bloomer. 50c. 
*Golden Climber. (Mrs. Arthur Curtis 
James) (1933) Produces huge, golden-yellow 
fairly double flowers on a plant almost as 
vigorous as Silver Moon. Stems are long, 
making this an excellent rose for cutting. 
Reported to be a recurrent bloomer Patented 
? 2 . 00 . 
Jacotte. H.W. A graceful, vigorous 
climber with coppery rose blooms that 
remind us of Angele Pernet. Blooms only 
in April and May but the glossy foliage is 
immensely attractive at all seasons. 50c. 
Mermaid. This rose is more of a trailer 
than a climber. Flowers are very large, 
single, creamy-yellow, with large tuft of 
showy golden-yellow stamens. Constantly 
in bloom from May to December. An excel¬ 
lent bank cover. Prune lightly or not at 
all. Remarkably disease resistant. 75c. 
Mme. Gregoire Staecbelin. Clg.H.T. 
(1927) It is to be regretted that this lovely 
Spanish rose has been given such an awk¬ 
ward name but because of its unusual beauty 
it is increasing in popularity despite this 
handicap. The long-pointed buds are 
carmine, opening to show the pearl-pink 
center. Petals are charmingly curled. 
Blooming season follows that of Belle of 
Portugal and the two may be planted near 
together with pleasing results. Flowers are 
produced on extra long stems. 50c. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. H.W. This peer¬ 
less climbing rose of the purest vivid scarlet 
color, remaining bright until the flowers fall, 
is in a class by itself. The blooms of medium 
size clothe the plant with a blazing mantle in 
the early summer months. A tall hedge of 
this rose is a wonderful sight. 50c. 
Primrose. H.Wich. A very vigorous 
climber which is a mass of bloom in spring¬ 
time. Flowers are very double, canary- 
yellow and borne in clusters. A very hardy 
rose and valuable where an exceptionally 
rapid-growing plant is needed. 50c. 
Scorcher. Clg.H.T. This brilliant Austra¬ 
lian climber has proved to be very fine in 
California gardens. Flowers are large, 4 
inches across, semi-double and a brilliant 
crimson-carmine in color. 60c. 
Silver Moon. H.Wich. Long, creamy buds 
followed by beautiful semi-double flowers 
four to five inches in diameter produced in 
small sprays. The petals are of great sub¬ 
stance. Its boundless vigor makes it in¬ 
valuable where quick shade is desired. 50c. 
Varieties marked * are oi recent 
introduction. 
*Clg. Shot Silk. (1931) Has all the beauty 
and disease resistance of the bush type but 
is a strong vigorous climber. Will endure 
shade better than any other pink climbing 
rose and blooms freely all season. 60c. 
Clg. Talisman. Clg.H.T. (1931) This is 
destined to be our most pouplar climbing 
rose. Like the bush form illustrated on 
page 35, it has wonderful color, exquisite 
fragrance, lovely form and is very free 
blooming. 60c.

HOW TO G 
How to Plant. LTnwrap new plants with 
care; do not expose roots to sun or drying 
winds. If roots are dry, soak for a few 
hours in water. If the stems also are dry, 
bury the whole plant in moist earth for 
three or four days to renew life and vigor. 
Our rose bushes are pruned ready for 
planting before being shipped. Plant 
carefully, slanting the roots down to sides 
of hole. Fill in with surface soil to two 
inches from top of ground, tramp down. 
In a basin dug around the plant pour ten 
or fifteen gallons of water. Next day fill 
in with loose soil. Set the plants so that 
the union of bud and rootstock is just under 
leveled surface of the ground. 
The Best Soil. Good heavy loam soil is 
best for roses although lighter soils may 
be satisfactorily improved by the addition 
of well rotted manure thoroughly spaded 
into the soil. Never use fresh or unrotted 
manure where it will come in contact with 
the roots. 
Planting Distances. Plant strong Hy¬ 
brid Perpetual roses three feet apart, 
Hubrid Teas and Teas about two and one- 
half feet. Polyantha roses, more dwarf in 
their habit, may be planted closer together. 
Fertilizing Important. Cow-barn ma- 
mure is the best fertilizer. Other manures 
may be used as a top dressing. VIgoro, 
applied according to directions is the best 
commercial fertilizer for roses. If a little 
VIgoro is sprinkled around rose bushes and 
washed in by rain or irrigation, when the 
ROW ROSES 
buds are about half grown there will be 
a marked improvement in the size and 
color of the blooms. 
Pruning. Never allow roses to go un¬ 
pruned. Hybrid Perpetuals and others of 
equally vigorous growth require more 
pruning than Teas and their allied families. 
Prune between December 15th and March 
1st. The first winter after planting thin to 
three main shoots and cut these back at 
least one-half. A properly prunned plant 
should have the shape of a deer’s antlers. 
When the framework branches are estab¬ 
lished, the laterals should be thinned and 
those allowed to remain cut to spurs of 
about four buds each. All growth starting 
from below the bud union should be re¬ 
moved, as this is the wild stock and pro¬ 
duces worthless blooms. 
With climbers the framework branches 
should be trimmed to three or four and 
these trained up against the wall fanwise. 
The first two seasons these should be cut 
severely. 
Pests. In the early spring, before mildew 
and blackspot are apparent, control them 
by dusting plants every two weeks with 
a dust made from nine parts dusting sul¬ 
phur and one part arsenate of lead. In 
cool climates spraying with Yolck Oil or 
a similar oil emulsion used according to 
the manufacturer’s directions will be found 
more effective than sulphur in controlling 
mildew. To control plant lice or aphis, 
spray with Evergreen or Black Leaf 40.
