Austrian, Scotch, and Sweet 
Briar Roses. 
Austrian Briar Roses [R. lutea). — The Austrian Briars are early, distinct 
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. 
Scotch Briar Roses ( R . spinosissima). — These Roses all form compact 
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. 
Pruning. — These Roses should be grown as bushes, about 3 feet or so 
in height. The young suckers from the base may be shortened back and 
the old and weakly wood thinned out during March. 
Sweet Briar Roses, consisting of R. rubiginosa, the well-known fragrant- 
leaved sweet briar and its hybrids. 
Prune as recommended for Scotch Briar Roses above, during March.
