Climbing Roses planted on walls require 
to be watered twice weekly from April 
to September. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
Under this heading vve include jOUfoses suitable for walls, arches, pergolas, bowers, etc,, and describe 
as far as possible the position for which each variety is best suited. 
The Ayrshire roses produce such a wealth of bloom during early summer, they are indispensable 
for arches, and bowers, but as they bloom only once in the year, it is advisable to plant with them an 
autumn blooming rose to prolong the beauty of any arch or bower. For example, if Dundee Rambler 
and Gruss an Teflitz are planted together, the first-named will bloom in early June, and the last-named 
will continue to bloom until late autumn. 
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 accommodate one early and one late blooming rose, insert three stakes 
8 feet to 9 feet long in the ground 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 entiiely hidden by the foliage and blossoms. Try Hiawatha and Gardenia in this way 
as an experiment. There are many old 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. We shall be pleased to give instructions for planting to any requiring information.
