Hardy Climbers 
Hardy Climbers, as a rule, bloom but once each year, but there are a 
few exceptions which you will find noted below. 
The great spectacular show made by a single Climbing Rose makes 
this class valuable and necessary for every garden. 
Climbing Roses can be trained on supports of many kinds, such as 
fences, pillars, pergolas, and trellises; or against garages and other out- 
buildings; or merely Jeft to trail on sloping banks. 
; The varieties listed here are hardy in ordinary winter weather, with 
little protection, and they will flash to life again in the spring with a display 
of spectacular beauty. 
Most of them are large-flowered, and the blooms make fine cut-flowers. 
Try some of the newer ones, as they are unusual departures from the 
old Rambler types.
