Climbing Roses 
There are many uses for Climbing Roses that many of us have not yet realized. Aside from the 
gorgeous effect produced in May and June, the foliage of all of the Climbers we now offer is far more 
attractive than many vines we have seen. And they need very little attention—not even much prun¬ 
ing, except to keep them within bounds. 
Trained as pillars on the most humble poles for supports, on fences, over archways and trellises, 
against walls, are but a few ways a small investment in Climbing Roses gives such great returns. 
The selection we offer will give a six-weeks’ season of bloom from early June. After that we may 
expect established plants of Blaze and New Dawn, as well as some of the newer Climbing Hybrid 
Teas we offer, to give us a succession of bloom throughout the summer and early fall. 
For the benefit of those who have not yet had much experience with Climbing Roses, it must be 
explained that they will produce very few if any blooms the first year. New running branches from 
near the base of the plants are produced the first summer, and upon these the flowering stems are borne 
the following year. Therefore do not prune Climbers at all, except as we explain under Culture. 
N. B. Most of our new 1 lardy Climbers must be planted in an exposed location where they will 
get full sunlight the whole year. The new canes should be trained horizontally and irregularly to give 
many blooms the second or third year after planting. This little extra effort in training and feeding 
these fine new Climbers will repay you in the way of abundant bloom for years to come.
