Show HOSES FOR CUTTING WITHOUT A KOSE GARDEN Why not have roses? Plenty of roses for cutting; for bouquets; for the table;- to give away? aw-ay? Prhaps you have been thinking that you would like to have an abundance ab-undance of roses, "the queen of flowers." flow-ers." Of course, there is no other flower which quite takes their place. But maybe you have felt that you did not have room to grow them. j That is, no room to grow the "garden" "gar-den" or "bush" varieties the kind which furnish an abundance of flowers flow-ers for cutting. Well, the fact that your spote may be limited need no longer keep you from having plenty of roses for cut-! ting. . i Within recent years there have ' been developed what is practically a new type of rose. The yare climbing, or semi-climbing in habit of growth, but unlike the old-fashioned "Ramblers," "Ram-blers," these new climbing roses produce pro-duce an abundance of big, single flowers with long stiff stems; or loose clusters of flowers, the individual indivi-dual blooms of which are two or four inches in diameter. An abundance of beautiful blooms for cutting without! a rose garden to "look after!" p. These new roses can be grown ;i wherever the old climbing roses, i such as the Crimson Rambler could !: be grown. jj They are for the most part, very'j hardy. Fully as hardy as the Crlm-jj son Rambler. And they are much J more vigorous and healthy than that1' old favorite, the foliage of which is f subject to "blight" or mildew." I In addition to being extremely harjly and healthy, many of these 'J new roses are of the most vigorous j habit of growth. I have had them ; " produce canes 12 to 15 feet long in a single season, with only ordinary 3 care. g These new roses are as easy to grow and to care for any of the Ram- I biers. Like the Ramblers, they do not k require the careful spring pruning. and general good care which most $ garden roses demand. They will come I as near "taking care of themselves" I as any rose you can grow. Of course, p any rose, will do better if you give g , it a reasonable amount of attention. I i Sometimes it almost seems as though I plants really appreciate any little B thought and care one gives them, and 1 actually try to show their apprecia- 1 tion in better growth and more gen- 9 erous bloom! Still more important, from the home gardner's point of view, these new climbing roses have a much longer season of bloom than the Ram biers. Many of them have, as one parent, one of the regular garden or "monthly" roses, anil inherit this tendency to bloom throughout the : season. ) While most o fthe varieties de- jj seribed below are of the vigorous climbing type, a few are known as what Is known as Pillar roses that is. while they do not actually 'climb' they do attain a height of six to ten ! feet, and should be given support of some sort either a trellis or a post ; to hold them upright. This type Is. :t of course, good for training up the ! side of the house, or around windows where often It would not be desirable desira-ble to use one of the regular cllmh-lng cllmh-lng roses, because of their too vigor-' ous growth. While the following half do7en varieties va-rieties are entirely distinct from the old ramblers, and quite different from each other, they, by no means, make up a complete list of roses of this type. All of them which I mention men-tion have been Introduced long en-, ough to have proved that they will succeed under all ordinary conditions In the catalogues of leading nursery-1 men, and In the descriptive lists of reliable agents, you will find other r,w,i Pfff " MM'WI !
