MONTANAS

The well known group which are seen rambling far and wide over garages and garden sheds. All have small flowers in profusion during the late spring period No pruning is required to encourage flowering. Prune to keep within limits after late July. I believe that this group are not good at withstanding temperatures much below our normal winter range.
