In our Southland, climbing Roses are lovely for 
many uses. They may be planted on arbor, trellis, 
fence, tied to poles or set on embankments. The 
Rambler Roses (R) produce a great profusion of 
bloom in the spring and sometimes repeat to some 
extent in the fall. The Noisettes (N), the Climbing 
Teas (CT), and the Climbing Hybrid Teas (CHT) 
bloom intermittently from early spring till cold 
weather. Some of the latter, like Cl. Talisman and 
Cl. Luxembourg, because of. great vitality, are used 
in preference to the bush form of these Roses. 
Since many nurseries produce too few climbing 
Roses, we are growing them rather extensively, in 
an effort to give a better assortment of Rose varie- 
ties to gardens of the Southeast. We include some 
of the finest older varieties that have become scarce.
