NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CUX.TURE. 51 HARDY CLIMBING ROSES, S:c. Climbing' Roses are highly valued for training over arbors, trellises and verandas; also as screens for un- sightly objects, such as old buildings, fences. They grow ten to twelve feet high and are entirely hardy. They bloom the second year and but once in the season, but are then loaded with splendid Roses, and are among the most beautiful of Flowering plants. The varieties described below are the best, and succeed well in all sections of the country. In the South where the Ever-Blooming Roses are hardy, many of them can be used as Climbers.
