Scarcely less popular than the Hybrid Teas, the Hardy Climbing Roses are easier to grow and produce a finer display at one 
time than any other flower which can be grown in gardens. New varieties have been produced recently which are finer in every 
respect than the clustered-blooming, small-flowered type which used to be so popular. Climbing Roses may be used for many 
ornamental effects and never disappoint, no matter how carelessly or ignorantly they may be handled.
