Rose Hedges 
are principally of two classes 
I. The moderately high hedge for encircling the beds of rose gardens, or for terrace banks, 
etc. The most suitable varieties are the strongest growers amongst the 
Chinas, Austrians and Rugosas. 
They should be planted in a double row, thus ® «, 9 & 9 ft. from plant to plant, on well manured 
and deeply trenched land to give a good start, after which they will take care of themselves, if kept 
clean and free from all undergiowth. The classes should not be mixed, the fence will be more 
satisfactory if composed of one class only. 
II.—For larger hedges or screens as shown in the illustration, page 67, the preparation of the 
ground would be the same, but stout poles or galvanised iron uprights with feet must be placed at 
intervals, and standing 6 ft. or 7 ft. out of the ground ; to these should be attached four rows of strong 
galvanised wire. Only one row of plants is necessary, and these can be planted 4ft. apart ; as they 
grow the shoots should be tied to the lines of wires and poles ; in two or three years they will have 
filled up the spaces, covered the wires and poles, and produce a perfect mass of flowers. No pruning 
is necessary, except to thin out all bad and useless wood and keep the hedge from overhanging walks 
too much ; this can easily and effectually be done by clipping with a pair of shears early in March. 
The most suitable varieties are the strongest growers amongst the 
Ayrshires, Hardy Evergreen Climbers and VVichurianas ( see pages 65 to 69).
