  A 
  good 
  deal 
  has 
  been 
  printed 
  in 
  the 
  public 
  press 
  in 
  the 
  past 
  few 
  years 
  

   about 
  Hedge 
  Roses, 
  much 
  of 
  it, 
  in 
  our 
  opinion, 
  leaving 
  something 
  to 
  be 
  

   desired 
  where 
  useful 
  information 
  for 
  the 
  average 
  homeowner 
  is 
  wanted. 
  

   Our 
  concern 
  here 
  is 
  to 
  explain 
  Hedge 
  or 
  Shrub 
  Roses 
  so 
  that 
  you 
  can 
  

   decide 
  wisely 
  when 
  you 
  choose 
  a 
  Hedge 
  Rose 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  you 
  have 
  

   in 
  mind. 
  

  

  The 
  common 
  Multiflora 
  hedge 
  rose 
  is 
  ideal 
  for 
  the 
  farmer 
  who 
  needs 
  

   a 
  tall, 
  thick, 
  natural 
  barrier 
  to 
  fence 
  a 
  pasture 
  with, 
  or 
  to 
  serve 
  as 
  a 
  method 
  

   of 
  preventing 
  soil 
  erosion. 
  Such 
  a 
  rose 
  fence 
  is 
  useful, 
  too, 
  to 
  attract 
  and 
  

   keep 
  birds 
  in 
  the 
  area. 
  This 
  kind 
  of 
  hedging 
  grows 
  fast, 
  is 
  very 
  dense 
  and 
  

   sprawling 
  in 
  character, 
  and 
  for 
  this 
  reason, 
  of 
  course, 
  needs 
  far 
  more 
  

   room 
  than 
  anyone 
  but 
  the 
  farmer 
  has. 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  flower 
  only 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  

   weeks 
  in 
  a 
  season. 
  Do 
  not 
  use 
  it 
  around 
  the 
  usual 
  suburban 
  home; 
  it 
  is 
  

   not 
  suitable. 
  

  

  Another 
  rose 
  widely 
  advertised 
  for 
  rose 
  hedges 
  in 
  recent 
  years 
  is 
  an 
  old 
  

   variety 
  called 
  Ragged 
  Robin 
  and 
  renamed 
  Red 
  Robin. 
  While 
  better 
  than 
  

   Multiflora, 
  this, 
  too, 
  has 
  serious 
  defects. 
  It 
  is 
  fairly 
  tall 
  and 
  somewhat 
  

   ungainly, 
  and 
  often 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  mainly 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  plant, 
  leaving 
  

   a 
  bare 
  area 
  below. 
  However, 
  it 
  is 
  disease 
  resistant, 
  everblooming, 
  fairly 
  

   hardy 
  and 
  vigorous. 
  

  

  Incidentally, 
  both 
  the 
  hedge 
  rose 
  and 
  the 
  shrub 
  rose 
  have 
  the 
  same 
  

   characteristics 
  and, 
  in 
  general, 
  are 
  interchangeable. 
  Both 
  uses 
  require 
  

   that 
  the 
  plants 
  be 
  vigorous 
  growers 
  and 
  have 
  great 
  disease 
  resistance, 
  a 
  

   long 
  flowering 
  season, 
  balanced 
  growth 
  habit, 
  attractive 
  foliage 
  and 
  an 
  

   overall 
  ability 
  to 
  thrive 
  with 
  minimum 
  care. 
  An 
  old 
  rose 
  particularly 
  suit- 
  

   able 
  for 
  shrub 
  use 
  is 
  Hugonis, 
  but 
  we 
  do 
  not 
  recommend 
  it 
  because 
  it 
  

   blooms 
  only 
  once, 
  in 
  the 
  spring. 
  For 
  many 
  years, 
  we 
  have 
  been 
  searching 
  

   for 
  good 
  hedge 
  and 
  shrub 
  roses, 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  pleased 
  to 
  make 
  recommenda- 
  

   tions 
  on 
  the 
  basis 
  of 
  our 
  experience. 
  

  

  Bear 
  in 
  mind 
  that 
  any 
  hedge 
  is 
  actually 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  individual 
  plants. 
  

   Roses 
  compose 
  a 
  hedge 
  when 
  planted 
  in 
  a 
  row, 
  but 
  when 
  planted 
  alone 
  

   or 
  in 
  groups 
  they 
  serve 
  as 
  admirable 
  flowering 
  shrubs 
  — 
  an 
  added 
  asset 
  

   which 
  the 
  old 
  farm-type 
  rose 
  hedging 
  does 
  not 
  have. 
  This 
  is 
  because 
  

   these 
  types 
  grow 
  with 
  excellent 
  proportion 
  and 
  symmetry. 
  They 
  can, 
  

   therefore, 
  serve 
  your 
  need 
  for 
  a 
  hedge, 
  a 
  grouping 
  or 
  an 
  individual 
  shrub. 
  

  

  We 
  specifically 
  recommend 
  for 
  your 
  consideration 
  three 
  roses 
  for 
  hedge 
  

   use 
  which 
  we 
  believe 
  to 
  be 
  ideal 
  for 
  the 
  average 
  home 
  gardener. 
  All 
  

   three 
  are 
  pictured 
  and 
  described 
  on 
  this 
  page. 
  Each 
  of 
  them 
  — 
  The 
  Fairy, 
  

   Hybrid 
  311 
  and 
  Robin 
  Hood 
  — 
  has 
  special 
  qualities 
  as 
  to 
  color 
  and 
  growth 
  

   habit 
  that 
  will 
  help 
  you 
  to 
  decide 
  which 
  to 
  plant 
  where, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  

   need 
  you 
  have 
  for 
  them. 
  All 
  will 
  give 
  you 
  satisfaction 
  as 
  hedges 
  or 
  as 
  

   shrubs. 
  

  

  Finally, 
  we 
  believe 
  that 
  you 
  should 
  give 
  consideration, 
  too, 
  to 
  another 
  

   kind 
  of 
  rose 
  for 
  its 
  particular 
  ability 
  to 
  serve 
  in 
  hedging 
  . 
  . 
  . 
  the 
  Flori- 
  

   bundas. 
  On 
  the 
  next 
  page, 
  we 
  outline 
  their 
  special 
  qualities 
  for 
  this 
  pur- 
  

   pose 
  and 
  detail 
  the 
  facts 
  about 
  two 
  of 
  them, 
  Fire 
  King 
  and 
  Circus, 
  each 
  

   of 
  which 
  offers 
  you 
  unique 
  characteristics. 
  

  

  •A-ROBIN 
  HOOD. 
  Like 
  Hybrid 
  311, 
  Robin 
  Hood 
  is 
  just 
  perfect 
  as 
  

   a 
  hedge 
  rose. 
  Grows 
  densely 
  and 
  compactly, 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  maintained 
  

   at 
  any 
  desired 
  height 
  above 
  3 
  feet. 
  The 
  flowers 
  are 
  cherry-red, 
  cover- 
  

   ing 
  each 
  plant 
  in 
  spring 
  and 
  always 
  having 
  (lowers 
  in 
  summer 
  and 
  fall. 
  

   Healthy, 
  deep 
  green 
  foliage. 
  Plant 
  in 
  any 
  soil. 
  Proved 
  hardy 
  to 
  below 
  

   zero 
  temperature. 
  Do 
  not 
  confuse 
  the 
  name 
  with 
  Ragged 
  Robin, 
  

   another 
  hedge 
  rose.
