Excerpt from Roses of Monterey, 1933: A Book for Rose Lovers A most important factor in determining your Rose planting is your climate. Where zero winter temperature prevails your Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses must be given winter protection by covering in the fall with loose straw and boughs; and of climbing Roses, only the hardy kinds should be planted. But with the absence of severe winter frosts you have an unlimited choice of all the fine sorts. With such kindly climatic conditions you may plant, for instance, the tender Climbing Roses - Noisettes and Hybrid Teas - with their marvelous range of color and continuous bloom, instead of the Hardy Climbers, which bloom only in the spring and so often mildew in mild climates.
