Cole*5 Grade "A" Roses A re as Good as Alost First-Grade Roses 
Climbing and Rambler Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the 
spring beyond the cutting out of old or dead 
wood, and the shortening of the laterals to 
conform with the space to be occupied. A 
severe pruning in July, after they have 
finished flowering, is beneficial. The cutting 
away at that time of the old wood will encour¬ 
age vigorous growth which will produce an 
abundance of flowers next season.
