We urge careful deliberation in the selection of a Climbing Rose because, unlike the bush roses, 
the climbers, once established, are not so easily moved and more likely to be permanent. With the vast 
assortment of climbing roses available to Pacific coast gardeners there is everything to choose from and 
there is always a best climbing rose for its purpose. Select your climber with a view to its rankness of 
growth, foliage effect, color and continuity of bloom, harmony of surroundings, and you will insure 
satisfaction for many years to come. Below is a carefully selected list of dependable climbers that will 
meet all needs; we indicate approximate heights for plants when full grown. Note also the many climbing 
roses included in our list of Old Roses on pages 3 to 7, for many of these are ideal for West coast 
conditions.
