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 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. 
All varieties not otherwise priced are $1 each, $9 for 10. We grow in large quantities the varieties priced
