Climbing Roses are truly beautiful and may be 
used in many different ways. The newer varieties 
introduced in recent years are vastly superior to the 
older cluster types of flowers. They should not be 
pruned in the spring except to cut out very old or 
dead wood but in July directly after they have fin¬ 
ished flowering is the time to trim away all the old 
flowering wood and sufficient new growth will de¬ 
velop to provide an abundance of flowers the fol¬ 
lowing season.
