The easiest roses grown, these give, during their season, 
more flowers and a greater display than any other roses. Is 
the porch sunny and bare? Climbing roses provide both 
shade and beauty. Is there an arbor you wish to beautify? 
Use roses. Hove you an unsightly fence? Climbers make the 
prettiest fence imaginable. Is there an unsightly view? A 
trellis with roses will make a screen of beauty. Is there a 
rough or stony slope you wish to adorn? Cover it with Climb- 
ers. And, for an arched entrance to the garden, nothing can 
be more appropriate than Se IAE EG, Roses. 
In recent years these roses Herre: been greatly improved. 
The large-flowered class, now termed Climbers, have almost 
taken the place of the old type with clusters of small flowers, 
termed Ramblers, such as the Perkins class. Pillar roses 
are those suitable for training on pillars 5 to 8 ft. high. Some 
climbers are also suitable for pillars. Many of the newer 
climbers have blooms approaching the Hybrid Teas, with 
stems long enough for use as cut flowers. 
Select early, midseason and late and have four to five 
weeks of flowers. The early begin here about May 15 to 25.
