Climbing American Beauty Rose 
Hardy Climbing and Rambler 
Roses 
As ornamental plants for covering veran- 
das, porches, side walls, pillars, fences, etc., 
these are unequaled, calling forth more ad- 
miration than anything else that can be used. 
The large-flowered varieties require no prun- 
ing beyond the removal of very old and worn- 
out canes, and the thinning out of weak 
growth. Canes becoming too Jong may be 
shortened. 
The Ramblers, or smalJ-flowered cluster 
type, should have the old canes removed at 
the base as soon as they finish blooming, 
training the new canes into place for next - 
year’s bloom. 
Climbing American Beauty. The name of 
this Rose is rather misleading, yet on its 
Own merits it is an excellent Climber. It 
blooms only in June, when it bears an 
abundance of large, bright self- olored, 
rose-pink flowers.
