Note Best of all the Pernetianas tested. By pruning 



experiments, it has been found best to cut fairly 

 low as this gives better stems and helps hold the 

 foliage; a few more blooms will be secured by high 

 pruning, but this is not advocated unless for 

 garden decoration or low hedge purposes. Does 

 best on Multiflora.
