HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 
O UR collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most extensive and inclusive in this 
country, covering ail types and colors. This year, to help in selection, we have divided 
the Climbers into two groups: 
Ramblers. This, the oldest type, is still used extensively for pillars, fences, and sloping 
banks, but at times in certain sections some are subject to mildew. The past year has given 
us an ideal opportunity to observe their susceptibility or resistance to this disease, and we have 
appended our frank comments after each variety. However, it should be remembered that 
Roses act differently in other parts of the country and there are many sections where these 
old types do well. 
Pruning of Ramblers: Cut out in August or September the canes which have flowered, 
and train up young canes produced from base. 
Large-flowered Climbers. By far the most popular today. Disease-resistant, this modern 
type of Climber has the added advantage that many varieties produce flowers on long stems 
suitable for cutting. 
Pruning: These varieties flower best on the older canes, so, contrary to the Rambler type, 
it is not advisable to cut out the canes which have flowered. Cut back the side shoots which 
have flowered, remove old worn-out canes, and train up only enough young canes to cover the 
required area. 
The letters at the end of descriptions represent the blooming period in the vicinity of New York City: 
E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from June 4 to 12; and L., after June 12.
