Over a hedge of Roses! 
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 con- 
tinuity 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. For the reader’s convenience 
we include those of the Old-Fashioned roses that are climbers.
