CLIMBING ROSES 
Beautiful subjects to train against walls on trellises or allowed to 
clamber over rough fences. They have been traditionally used on 
arbors and pergolas where the bloom can be seen at a distance and 
easily.examined close by. Cut out old wood after blooming, thus 
encouraging new vigorous growth from the base. This will bloom 
the next season.
