altaica. As a bush 5-ft. to 6-ft. The base shoots 

 are numerous and should be pruned to various lengths, 

 and nearly all the older wood can be cut away. Makes 

 a good hedge. 



Banksise. (See Instruction 26.) 



blanda flore-pleno. Leave the one-year shoots 

 long and shorten the laterals. 



bracteata (The Macartney Rose). Train on a 

 warm wall, about 4-ft. to 5-ft. high, laying the laterals 

 in. Requires protection in winter and little if any 

 pruning.

 5-ft. high. 



humilis. Dwarf habit. May be treated like R.

moschata (including Brunonii, Brunonis himalayica). 

 An immense grower, so let it ramble over a summer 

 house or tall arch. There will always be some dead 

 wood to cut away. The bold massive laterals are not 

 numerous, and may be left from g-in. to 2-ft. long. 



moschata alba. Leave the one year shoots long, 

 shortening laterals on two-year-old wood. 



multiflora. (See Instruction 27.) 



nitida. There are two forms, of which the dwarf 

 is best. Makes an effective dwarf hedge, or edging. 

 Requires the removal of old wood but little pruning. 

 The best way to grow it is to peg down the young shoots 

 and cut out the old annually.
