Rambler Roses and other Hardy Climbing Roses 
With the advent of the Ramblers, we have a class of roses of such vigorous 
growth that almost any garden structure can be completely festooned wdth an 
effective growth of vine, glossy foliage and an abundance of bloom rivaling the 
famed California gardens. To get best results with the Rambler Roses, it is 
necessary that they be well fertilized, as these roses are hearty feeders. This can 
be done to best advantage at the time the ground is being prepared for planting.
