in habit, and their blooms are so strikingly beautiful as to make them special 
favourites with all who see them. They need care in pruning ; the shoots 
should be left almost full length, bent down, and thinned well out.

bushes, flowering abundantly early in the season. The flowers are small and 
globular. Their colours are yellow, white, and various shades of pink, rose, &c.

leaved sweet briar and its hybrids.
