Hardy Climbing Roses 
Scarcely less popular than the Hybrid Teas, the Hardy Climbing 
Roses are easier to grow and produce a finer display at one time 
than any other flower which can be grown in gardens. New 
varieties have been produced recently which are finer in every 
respect than the clustered-blooming, small-flowered type which 
used to be so popular. Climbing Roses may be used for many 
ornamental effects and never disappoint, no matter how carelessly 
or ignorantly they may be handled.
