FILLER TLANTS . DECIDUOUS SHRUBS 
Japanese Roses 
PRIVET 
ROSE 
Wild Rose or Rose Species 
Everybody loves the Rose, but comparatively few 
are acquainted with the Wild Roses, which we 
describe here. Besides the delicate beauty of their 
flowers, they are tough and rugged and have per¬ 
manent form—and are, therefore, practical as Filler 
Plants in border plantings. (The other Roses—the 
hybrids—have little or no permanent form and 
should be used purely as Decorative plants, and are 
described under that heading on pages 52 to 54.)
