Austrian Brier Roses 
Austrian Briers are descendants of Rosa 
Joetida, a yellow-flowered species which has 
been in cultivation more than three centuries. 
They have developed the few very valuable 
shrub Roses mentioned below, and 
are the ancestors of the modern yel¬ 
low Hybrid Teas or Pernetianas.

A class of Roses known as the Penzance Briers, developed from the common Sweetbrier

shrubberies. When well established, they are hardy in all but the most difficult climates 
without protection of any sort.
