Climbing Roses Are Not All RombIers

continuous pruning designed to
force the new Towering growth
Ever-BloOming Climbers
The fourth class, and q rela-
lively new one. is the so-called
ever-blooming climber that was
supposed to replace the spring.
blooming large-flowered climber
The first Of these were New
Dawn, q sport Of DR.. Van Fleet,
and Blaze, Q sport Of Paul's Scar
let. However, there are a number
which are not sports but are
the products Of the rose breeder.
Dr. Nicholas was one Of the first
but q considerable number are
now available.
The pruning of this group is q
combination Of the pruning en-
ployed on the climbing hybrid
teas and that used on the large
lowered climbers.
The reason for this heavier
pruning is that in most cases
they are stronger growing than
the hybrid teas. and at the same
time need some pruning to en-
courage the development of flow
ering shoots during the summer
Nearly all Of them flower fairly
freely in the fall without this
aid.
To review, some Of the canes
might well be removed after the
first burst. Of bloom in order to
keep the plants within bounds
and during the summer the flow
ering shoots that have bloomed
might well be cut back to a third
or even q fourth Of their length
4 Quality Of Bloom Is Result
The pruning methods I have
Outlined should not be started
until the climbers are three year:
old. They need the foliage and
canes for the manufacture Of

comes necessary to maintain
regular annual pruning to pro.
duce good quality bloom.
The best blooms are Away,

however, go on what he has.

poses is at this moment still sub
ject to change. Apparently the
administration has decided not
to press an informal Stassen
suggestion to the Soviet delegate
in April that start in aerial
inspection be undertaken in
Ipie-shaped area extending from
the North Pole into the Soviet
Union, Alaska and Canada and
in a European area whose center
would lie some distance east of
the Soviet-sponsored area.
Comments of Secretary of
State Dulles and other American
officials indicate the United
States plans now to confine its
first proposal for aerial in
spection to a section of the
Arctic.
Mr.. Dulles stresses that the
important thing is to make
start in a hurry-where it can
be made without too many
political complications. In
Europe he thinks it would take
too long to get all the countries
involved to agree on a single
plan.
The Soviet Union, however, is
now proclaiming its insistence on
some European zone. Washing
ton is willing to include Europe
if the nations involved give their
consent.
A Start on the Plan
The United States proposed
last week that the five powers
negotiating in London-Britain,
France, Canada. the Soviet Union
and America-begin going into
details on the ground and air
inspection.
Any treaty for a first-Step
agreement would be very precise,
so it is the American position
that the delegates should begin
work on the fine print" while
the United States seeks agree
ment with its allies on other
aspects of the disarmament plan.
These are some of the proposed
topics for study in London:
Ground inspection Where
ground control posts would be
on each side. How many there
would be. How many men would
be stationed in each post. What
facilities the inspectors would
have, not only to carry on their
inspection activities but also to
communicate with their superior
headquarters and to live.
Air inSpection-What particle
patton there should be by nae
tons being inspected. How in
spection planes should be painted
and identified. How inspection
planes would be inspected them
selves to make sure they are un-
armed and carry authorized
equipment. How inspection
planes can conform to safety
rules of the various countries
over which they fly.
American officials still are
hopeful that the West can agree
with the Soviet Union on some
small start in the area of guard
ing against surprise attack.
But as in the other area
where hope is high-conven-
tional arms and armed forces
the details yet to be worked out
are myriad The same problem of
balancing-on a basis of ere
ciprocity" as the Soviet Union
puts twill arise in placement
OF inspection zones and posts.

this series will sum up the pro-
