Most 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.
