M OST of the wild Roses are desirable in large gardens, parks, 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 permanent 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. 
Prices unless noted, $1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety. We grow in large quantities the varieties priced at
