Some years ago we began collecting all the Hardy Climbing Roses which promised to succeed in 
the climate of North America. The list of varieties we offer is by far the largest on the continent, 
regardless of the fact that we are dropping less desirable sorts. They should be planted freely and 
widely, not only as Climbers but also as pillars, for fences, walls, sloping banks, and the other uses to 
which they are particularly adapted. 
The small-flowered Ramblers (R) bloom on shoots which arise from wood which grew the summer 
before. To have fine bloom it is necessary to save the new canes of the previous year and refrain 
from pruning them in the spring. The proper time to prune such varieties is in the summer after they 
have finished blooming, by removing only that wood which has already flowered. 
Practically all the Large-flowering Climbers (LC) bloom more freely and have better flowers on 
the older stems. Consequently, they should not be treated like the Ramblers. Do not prune them at 
all except to shorten the side-shoots which have bloomed, and to remove worn-out, dead, or diseased 
canes. If the plant becomes too large or threatens to become unmanageable, remove a few canes of 
the new wood instead of the old. 
All Hardy Climbing Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for
