SOME of the BEST HARDY 
CLIMBING ROSES 
LIMBING ROSES constitute some 
of the most useful and valuable ma¬ 
terial for creating picturesque effects 
in the garden and about the house. 
When grown over pergolas, porch¬ 
es, pillars, or summer-houses, they 
lend a grace and charm to structures not obtainable 
with any other means. 
They may also be successfully employed to cover 
screens, shutting out from view unsightly objects 
and buildings, and they form admirable hedges. 
An arched garden walk or arbor covered with a 
variety of Climbing Roses is one of the many ways 
to make a garden original and beautiful. 
The arch is admirably suited to the growth of the 
shoots, which form wreaths and festoons, and the 
flowers borne on them appear to the best advan¬ 
tage supported in this manner. I can not imagine 
a more fascinating spot or resting place than a suc¬ 
cession of arches with these climbers hanging from 
them. It presents to the eye a graceful mass of 
bloom — delightful to gaze on, as well as to impress 
on one’s memory. Trained on pillars and trel¬ 
lises, and the sides of houses, climbers are also 
very effective and ornamental.
