CLIMBLING ROSES.
The basal shoots on Wichuriana and other climbing roses should he loosely tied in as they require support, but well exposed to light and air, and not as one so often sees them buried under the flowering shoots, for the success of next season's flowering is dependent on the development of sturdy and well-ripened growths to replace those bearing this season's blossoms. Similar measures must be taken to combat aphis and mildew as advised for dwarf bushes. These pests are often more troublesome on climbing roses than on .dwarf roses, especially with roses on walls, where the cause of mildew may often be traced to the check caused by dryness at the Toots. In such cases, after spraying with one of the fungicides recommended, a thorough soaking of liquid manure and a generous mulch of farmyard manure may assist the plants to withstand any further attack.
