Large-flowered Hardy Climbing Roses 
Prices as noted, less quantity discount 
UR collection of Hardy Climbers is probably the most extensive and in- 
clusive in this country, covering all types and colors. Disease-resistant, 
this modern type of Climber has the added advantage that many vari- 
eties produce flowers on long stems suitable for cutting. 
Pruning of Large-flowered Climbers: These varieties flower best on the 
older canes, so, contrary to the Rambler type, it is not advisable to cut out 
the canes which have flowered. Cut back the side shoots which have 
flowered, remove old worn-out canes, and train up only enough young canes 
Planting Distance: Trellis or wall—6 feet. Pillars—as close as 3 feet, 
depending on the design. 
The letters at the end of descriptions represent the blooming period in the vicinity of 
New York City: E., from May 25 to June 3; MS., from June 4 to 12; and L., after June 12. 
Abbreviations: LC., Large-flowered Climber; Bour., Bourbon; CHP., Climbing Hybrid 
Perpetual. These refer to the classes.
