CLIMBING HYBRID TEA AND SIMILAR ROSES 
I T is one of the curious mutations of plant-growth that when large numbers of individuals 
of one kind are grown there is a tendency toward changes, or “sports,” among which 
at times arise varieties different in color and in habit. Through these sports many 
well-known Roses have assumed a climbing form. These bloom much more frequently 
during the season than the hardy climbers, but not so freely as their parents. They are 
not quite so vigorous in growth as the other climbers, and will need simple winter pro¬ 
tection north of the latitude of Washington. It is usually quite sufficient to either lay down 
the canes so they may be covered with earth, or to give them a wrapping of straw. 
These Climbers are $1 each, except where noted, for strong field-grown plants
