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 
Austrian Briars, Chinas, Rugosas and Scots Briars. 
They should be planted in a double row, thus * a ® 0 * 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 undergrowth. The classes should not be mixed, the fence will be more 
satisfactory if composed of one class only. 
II. —For larger hedges or screens, 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 Wichuraianas ( see pages 46 and 47).
