O UR list of varieties of Hardy Climbing Roses is the most inclusive and extensive offered on the Ameri¬ 
can continent. We began years ago this work of assembling the world’s best. 
Climbers of all kinds are now planted freely in the best Rose-gardens, not only as Climbers, but 
for pillars, fences, pergolas, and as cover for sloping banks and rough places. 
Included in the list are Large-flowered Climbers and Ramblers. The first, marked “LC.” (Large Climber) 
after the variety name, bear larger flowers than do the Ramblers. These are carried on the older stems, and 
the only pruning needed is the shortening of the side-shoots which have already bloomed, and the removal 
of worn-out dead wood. Of course, if the plant becomes too large, a few canes of the new wood must be 
removed. 
The Ramblers, marked “R,” bloom on shoots arising from wood of the previous summer, so it is necessary 
to save the new canes and omit pruning them in the spring. The proper time to prune Ramblers is after 
they have finished flowering in the summer, by removing, at the base, the canes that have already flowered. 
TIME OF BLOOMING 
In response to numerous requests from our friends we have, at the end of the description, designated 
the approximate time of blooming of all the Hardy Climbing Roses we offer. The dates given below refer 
to the vicinity of New York. 
May 25 to June 3 we call early, and have marked varieties that bloom at that time “E.”; June 4 to 12 we 
call midseason and have marked such varieties “MS.”; June 13 to 20 we call late and have marked such 
varieties “L.” 
Other Abbreviations: HW., Hybrid Wichuraiana; HM., Hybrid Multiflora; CP., Climbing Polyantha,
