Pruning. Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring be- yond the 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 is beneficial directly after they have finished flowering. Cutting away at that time all old flow- ering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which will give an abundance of flowers the following season. American Pillar. A single-flowering variety of great beauty, which appeals to every one. The flowers are of enormous size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They last in perfection a long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or berries, which are carried late into the winter; and as the plant frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout the autumn months.
