During their season these give more flowers and a greater 
display than any other roses grown. Is the porch sunny and 
bare? Climbing roses provide both shade and beauty. Is there 
an arbor you wish to beautify? Use roses. Have you an un¬ 
sightly fence? Ramblers make the prettiest fence imaginable. 
Have you a view you wish to screen? A trellis with roses will 
make your screen a thing of beauty. Is there a rough or stony 
slope you wish to beautify? Cover it with ramblers. Do yon 
want an arched entrance to the rose garden? What can be more 
appropriate? 
In recent years this class of roses has been wonderfully im¬ 
proved. The large-flowered class, now termed Climbers, have 
been added to the old, familiar type with clusters of small flow¬ 
ers, termed Ramblers, of which the Perkins are examples. Pil¬ 
lar Roses are those suitable for training on pillars 5 to 8 feet 
high. Some climbers are also suitable for pillar use. Many of 
the newer climbers have blooms approaching the Hybrid Teas in 
appearance and stems of sufficient length for use as cut flowers. 
By selecting early, midseason and late you can have four to 
five weeks of flowers. The early varieties usually begin bloom¬ 
ing here about May 20 to 25. H. W. indicates Hybrid Wichur- 
iana; H. M., Hybrid multiflora.

Climbing American Beauty
