Climbing 
Roses 
When it comes to staging a grand show—a spectacle of garden 
color, few plants can equal the climbing roses. They need only 
a few square feet of garden space for their root system, and in 
return for ordinary care, they will reward you generously. You 
can have a fence, trellis or arbor aglow with spring color—cover a 
wall or unsightly place with masses of luxuriant foliage studded 
with hundreds of colorful blooms. Whether you need a large 
growing kind, one more modest, an everblooming type, any 
color—there is one to suit your needs among these. 
Most of the climbers listed below are sports of 
famous Hybrid Teas—many described elsewhere in 
this catalog. They thrive in the Southern States and 
along the Pacific Coast, but in regions of sub-zero 
temperatures, all except those captioned hardy, will 
probably require special winter protection.

tooned each spring with masses of small button-like

The Cherokees 
Everblooming Old-fashioned single-flowered rose. Left unpruned, will 
Chih ramble informally over a fence or wall. Fine shiny green 
High Noon foliage and clouds of flowers in the spring. We have Pink

dium size. $1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each.
