CULTURE, continued 
is desirable in the hot summer 
months. Drench during dry 
spells, avoid light sprinklings. 
If Roses are low-pruned to 
three eyes in spring, bushy 
plants and large flowers are 
the result; if they are high- 
pruned, leggy plants and 
lesser flowers result. Do not 
cut off too close to the eye. 
After the Climbers bloom, 
cut out old wood and tie up 
new growth. 
Liquid manure, made by 
mixing sheep manure and 
water, one-half gallon to a 
plant every two weeks, is bene¬ 
ficial during blooming season. 
Don’t starve your Roses. 
Give winter-protection by 
hilling with earth late in fall 
after the ground has frozen, 
adding a few inches of weight¬ 
ed leaves above. 
To insure selection and 
early delivery, order early. 
This is especially necessary 
for spring plantings. Roses 
can be safely planted in late 
spring if they are pot-grown.

Hardy Climbing Roses 
These are the easiest Roses to grow. They are hardy but 
where below-zero temperatures occur, should be given protec¬ 
tion. They bloom on shoots from wood which grew the sum¬ 
mer before. Thus, to have fine bloom, preserve the wood of 
the previous year and do not prune in the spring. The proper 
time to prune is in summer, after blooming.
