CLIMBING HYBRID 
TEAS 
All these Climbing Roses are $1.75 each 
In Southern States they are glorious, bear- 
ing full crops of Hybrid Tea flowers all 
season. In the Middle Atlantic States and 
farther north, they do not produce re- 
current blooms after May or June and, 
furthermore, are not reliably hardy. But 
now since there are quite a few reliably 
hardy climbers offered under the large- 
flowered climber section, we suggest that 
gardeners in the north without too much 
experience, confine their selection to these 
and avoid possible disappointment. 
PRUNING: Retain old and new wood, 
cutting out only dead or exhausted wood.

Patience is a Virtue 
There is some misunderstanding about the 
bloom habits of newly planted Climbers, Shrub 
Roses, Rugosas and most of the Old-fashioned 
Roses in general. Nurserymen do not expect 
them to bloom the first season they are planted. 
It requires at least a full growing year before 
these fine old Roses become established and 
produce branches we call flowering wood. 
It frequently happens, however, that some of 
them do bloom the first season after planting 
although these flowers are usually small and 
certainly cannot be the typical form and color. 
The misunderstanding, therefore, arises when 
one is too hasty in forming opinions about the 
true habits and colors of varieties as we describe 
them. We ask your patience and kind indul- 
gence in this whole matter. We have explained 
this personally to hundreds of customers in 
the past who found our predictions were cor- 
rect and their patience rewarded in later years.

AND THEIR HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for their hardiness, healthiness, and ability to thrive 
under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. They do not 
require spraying or dusting but actually resent it. Plant in just an average, deeply spaded 
garden soil; elaborate soil preparation is not advisable or necessary. 
They are distinguished by erect, spiny stems and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or 
rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or shrubberies in seashore gardens and 
regions where the winters are very severe. Some are remontant, as noted, meaning that in- 
termittent blooms are produced after the June crop. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this does not mean that they 
are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the Grootendorst types, yet their foliage does 
not appear to have much Rugosa in it. For your guidance we have given what in our opinion 
is the comparative percentage of Rugosa as compared with ‘‘the type,” but this refers only 
to the foliage.
