ROSE SPECIES 
Most of the wild Roses have attributes which make them desirable in broad garden treatment, or for 
park and landscape work. They range from trailing forms and dwarf types a foot or less high, to enormous 
bushes and scrambling shrubs 15 feet tall or more. Almost all of them are ruggedly hardy, useful for perma¬ 
nent plantings such as hedges, shrubbery work, and for naturalizing on banks, in thickets, and waste land 
generally. They are too vigorous ordinarily for use in small gardens in connection with Hybrid Teas and 
similar Roses, except as backgrounds, screens, and in the border around the garden. 
They need little pruning or care if the soil is well prepared for them, but the old wood should be thinned 
out every three or four years, and branches which exceed reasonable bounds may be lopped. It is best to 
refrain as much as possible from shortening the long shoots of the climbing types because they bloom on 
the older wood.
