Austrian Brier Roses 
Austrian Briers are descendants of Rosa factida, 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 yellow, orange 
and copper Hybrid Teas or Pernetianas. 
These Roses are 75 cts. each 
Austrian Copper ( Rosa Jcetida bicolor ). Single 
flowers of intense copper-red, reverse of petals 
bright golden yellow.

extra merit 
Austrian Copper 
Hybrid Sweetbriers 
A class of Roses known as the Penzance Briers, developed from 
the common Sweetbrier or Eglantine, Rosa rubiginosa. They 
have deliciously scented foliage, and bear charming single or half¬ 
double flowers along their arching canes. Useful in parks, drive¬ 
ways, and shrubberies. When well established, they are hardy 
in all but the most difficult climates without protection. 
All these Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted

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. 
Prices, unless noted, $1 each, $9 for 10 of any one variety. We grow in large quantities the varieties priced at 60 cts. each, and
