Climbing Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting 
out of very old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals 
and long canes to mcke the growth conform to the space to be 
covered; but a severe pruning in July, directly after they have 
finished flowering, is beneficial. Cutting away at that time all 
old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which will 
give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
We offer on this page a selection of the most modern Hardy 
Climbing and Rambler Roses. 
American Pillar Each 85c, Doz. $8.50 
A single-flowering variety of great beauty. The flowers are of large 
size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white

very vigorous climbing variety which will grow to considerable height. 
Cecil Brunner Each $2.00 
This is the climbing form of the ‘Sweetheart Rose,” Covered in season

colorings may, and often do, appear on the bush at the same time.
