 tion. The bush must be shapely, free from 

 insects and diseases and of easier culture than 

 garden roses.

 Penzance Briers, white, pink to yellowish. 

 Persian Yellow. 



The Scotch, white, pink, yellowish. 



R. lucida, pink or white. 



R. nitida, pink. 



R. rubiginosa, pink. 



R. rugosa, white or pink. 



R. blanda, pink.

 A few hybrids of R. rugosa, white or red.

ROSES FOR EDGING WALKS 



Select dwarf compact roses, not of free 

 growth or else naturally dwarf bushes that 

 can be cut back with impunity; such are the 

 native species.
