BRIAR ROSES. 
The Austrian and Persian Yellow Briars are amongst the most beautiful and distinct of all the old 
fashioned Roses ; they are perfectly hardy, and should be allowed to grow wild with scarcely any pruning ; 
this is necessary, as they always flower upon the ripened wood of the preceding year’s growth. We also 
suggest these Briars being grown as Pot plants ; plants with long shoots potted up in autumn flower freely in 
spring, and are exceedingly novel and pretty amongst plants in the conservatory.
