Climbing Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting out of very old or dead wood, 
and the shortening of the laterals and long canes to make the growth conform to the space to be 
covered; but a severe pruning in July, directly after they have finished flowering, is beneficial. 
Cutting away at that time some but not all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, 
which will give an abundance of flowers the following season. 
| We offer on this and following page a selection of the most modern Hardy Climbing and Pillar 
Roses. 
Blaze Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
Hardy everblooming climbing Rose which inherits the blazing color of 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber and the everblooming habit of Gruss a Tepitz, 
thus combining the most attractive features of both its parents. It is a 
very vigorous climbing variety, which will grow to considerable height.

Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
. Gardeners are delighted with the wealth of fragrant blooms, the size of 
the large, double flowers so like the finest Hybrid Tea Roses, and most 
of all with the everblooming performance of this Rose. Immediately 
after the first flowers fade, new shoots appear. A galaxy of bloom 
repeats again and again, all summer and fall. Fully double, entrancing 
deep rose-pink flowers, unbelievably large, 5 to 6 inches across, 50 
fine textured petals. Three or four perfect blooms to each long, strong 
stem. Their fragrance is rich, lovely and enduring.

garage. Blooms are large, 4 to 5 inches, in clusters on medium long 
stems, opening from a deep gold to a clear, unfading yellow. This va- 
riety is very prolific and continues blooming after other Climbers have 
ended. It is fast growing and establishes itself quickly and throws out 
long, stout, blooming wood from basal shoots.
