For instance, Dr. W. Van Fleet will not feel happy if too restrained, and Dorothy Perkins will not do its best on a wall. For the sake of proper use, Climbing Roses are classified as Climbers, Ramblers, Pillars, Ground-covers. -• Climbers (C) are those vigorous varieties, generally with large blooms and massive canes, starting again each year along the top of the previous year's growth as if to go up another story. These are specially good for tall walls, houses, top of pergolas, summer-houses, wide arches, over old trees, as festooned along top of porches, or any support that can take care of the permanency of wood and annual increase in height or length. Trained laterally on fences, they are superb. (Examples: Dr. W. Van Fleet; Silver Moon.) Pruning oj this class is unnecessary beyond removing dead wood and surplus growth. Ramblers (R) are those of slender, willowy growth, blooming in large clusters of small flowers or "pom- pons," as typified by Dorothy Perkins or Hiawatha. New growth starts each year at the base, seldom going higher than one year's growth. They are the most desired for "fancy" work and any purpose that one year of growth will cover, as balloons, cordons, low or high hedges, laterally on wire fences, pylons, twined around the pergola uprights, narrow arches, trellises, rope garlands, to cover trunks of high trees, etc. For best bloom results and the beauty of the plant, they must be renovated each year, the blooming canes being cut off at the base, and the new growths (Jrom the base) trained again on the sup
