Climbing Koses 
Reaching out for new worlds to conquer, rambler or climbing roses earn admiration for pee PRU eae 
Trailing along fences, hurrying up trellises, sprawled over rooftops, embracing a lovely arbor, draped dramatically 
on an archway, they fairly flaunt their beauty for the world to see.

There is really nothing quite so dazzling as a climbing rose in full bloom. Climbers run the gamut

Scarlet, whose radiant though short-lived beauty is always awe-inspiring, to the many hybrid tea types so fine for 
cutting, and of course now the climbing floribundas so generous with their bloom. 
Climbers should be established for two 
or three years to give their best perform- 
ance. Unfortunately, not all climbers are 
hardy in severe climates. In milder areas 
they certainly merit a choice spot in the 
home landscape. 
Climbing ALOHA 
(Plant Pat. 948) 
An excellent new climber with gorgeous 
big, double, fragrant flowers that would be 
an achievement for a Hybrid Tea. Buds 
are deep coral-pink, opening to perfectly 
formed blooms of rich rose-pink with a 
silvery tone on the inside of the petals. 
Long-stemmed clusters, with the main bud 
opening firsi, followed by the side buds. 
Dark, leathery foliage. Makes a vigorous, 
8 to 10-foot pillar and blooms continuously.
