B. & A. ROSE FOOD MAKES ROSES BLOOM 
EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING HYBRID TEAS, ETC. 
W ITH one exception these are the only true 
everblooming Climbers that we know of to date. 
In southern states they are glorious, bearing 
full crops of Hybrid Tea flowers all season, and, with 
careful winter protection, they can fill a long-felt 
want in northern states. Untie the plant from 
its support, loosen the roots on one side, lay the 
branches on surface of soil and cover with about 
6 inches of earth. This simple procedure is carried 
out very successfully every year in many of the 
New England gardens where Everblooming Climbers 
are used. 
Pruning: Retain old and new wood, cutting out only 
dead or exhausted wood.
