Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond the cutting out 
of very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals and long 
canes to make the growth conform to the space to be covered; but a 
severe pruning in July, directly after they have finished flowering, is 
beneficial. Cutting away at that time all old flowering wood will en¬ 
courage a vigorous growth, which will give an abundance of flowers 
the following season. 
We offer on this and the next page a selection of twelve of the most 
modern Hardy Climbing and Rambler Roses.

A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of large 
size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white

of both its parents. It is a very vigorous climbing variety which will 
grow to considerable height. 
Mixed Polyantha Roses 
Chaplin's Pink Climber Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00

vigor. The medium-size flowers are semi-double and profusely
