HYBRID SWEET BRIERS 
These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 
Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is 
deliciously scented. The flowers are of the most beautiful tints, 
and produced in great profusion, and the plants are perfectly 
j| hardy, and possess a robust vigor which is quite astonishing. 
For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses; furnish them 
with a stake or pole 5 to 6 feet high, tying the main shoots to this 
and allowing the laterals to develop and ramble at pleasure. 
Treated in this way and without pruning, beyond cutting out dead 
and superfluous branches, they will produce an abundance of 
lovely single or semi-double flowers with a beauty all their own.
