BRIAR ROSES. 
lhe 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, 
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.
