There is nothing lovelier than the massive climbing rose. Today there is such a dazzling choice among tall and medium growers with such a splendid assortment of colors and blossoms that nearly every kind of arbor can be magnificently outfitted. The everblooming climbers—the Dream Girl, Summer Snow, and American Pillar—are so enthusiastic that they flower not only in June but throughout the season. If you're putting up an arbor this summer and want quick, showy shade, there is an endless variety of annuals which offer both shade and flowers. Planted each year, their quick-growing leaves and masses of flowers last through the season. Then you pull them up and discard them, to let the winter sun shine in on terrace and house. One of the best growers is the morning-glory with its cheerful sky-blue, red, or white blossoms. It opens with the morning sun and lasts till noon. IF YOU WANT round-the-clock blooms, you can plant Heavenly Blue or Blue Star morning-glories alternately with Moonflower Vine. The moonflower blooms at night, and its delicate white flowers give off a fragrance that makes sitting out in the evening unforgettable. Late in the season the moonflower and morning-glory blossoms overlap—the moonflower lasting through the early-morning hours and the morning-glory lasting late into the afternoon. Behind the blooms there is always the thick mat of leaves. An arbor can provide shelter overhead, or it can screen you so you get privacy in a sitting-out spot. A freestanding latticed trellis, for instance, screens the terrace from neighbors and the street in a friendly, decorative way without interfering with ventilation as a solid fence might. Or an arbor may be used as a gateway to frame the view architecturally or horticulturally. A FEW CAUTIONS should be observed by the homeowner whether he is a do-it-yourselfer or planning to hire a carpenter to build his arbor. To begin with, an arbor must be tailored to accommodate the choice of vine. A wistaria, for example, needs a large, sturdy framework—its wood will become very heavy after a few years' growth. Some people adapt old telephone poles as posts under the more massive wistarias. Even morning-glories and moonflowers become heavy with a full season's growth. But clematis and other delicate species need only a skeleton trellis. Posts should be deeply set in—18 to 24 inches below the ground—treated with wood preservative, and embedded in heavy concrete footings if the soil is sandy or the wind blows hard. Cross-bars should be sturdy, but not overpowering. Their size varies according to the arbor and to the kind of vine. A quiet, simple crossbar design is preferable to a nervous pattern that only dis-tracts from the beauty of the leaves and flowers it supports. Enough open space must be left so that vines can interlace easily between bars. If you want a roof on your arbor, a snow fence can be adapted as a handsome cover. You have a wide variety of designs to choose from and a large selection of vines and flowers. Plan your arbor so it will do the most for your house and your way of living, choose the vine you like best, and then sit back and enjoy it. Suburbia Today, April 1961 31
