CLIMBING ROSES

They Help to Make Home and

Washington ID. c.. June l9--Climb
ing roses are a valuable aid to the
man who is Interested in having his
home in attractive surroundings.
With fine lawn. artistically massed
shrubbery. and wealth of vines
clambering over the porch and roof
many plain and unpretentious
house has been transformed into a
most attractive dwelling place The
L. s. Department of Agriculture has
a rose garden on its grounds and
many experiments have been made in
the treatment of the various kinds TO
secure the best results.
After the blooming season of climb
ing roses is over in June the Depart
ments landscape gardner advises
that shoots should be pruned so as to
throw the growth of the plant into
the new wood that bore no flowers
this year. for this is the part of the
plant that win bear next year. When
a trellis is low C. or feet high 1t is
a good plan to cut off the shoots that
have borne flowers this year clear to
the ground
Most people in following this ad-
vice may feel that they are running
their bushes to cut them back so sew
erely. but the young shoots that have
started about the roots will surprise
them by springlng up with wonderful
rapidity. Each bush will probably
put forth several new shoots that win
grow as long as those cut or one
shoot will grow much longer. In eli
Their case the trellis will soon be COW
cred again. One shoot In Washing
ton garden last year grew 20 feet aft
err the bush had been cut down in this
manner.
In the case of high trellis a diff
ferent method must be followed The
renewal OF wood must begin from a
point higher up instead of from the
root as the growth of a bush is not
enough to replace all its top on a trel-
