Rose Cultivation 
BRIAR ROSES, continued 
at a time when most of the hardy bloom is passing. Thus they help to 
give us a much-desired “continuation” of bloom in the border. 
Harison’s Yellow. Flowers of medium size and semi-double; color golden yellow. A free 
bloomer. 40 cts. each, $3.50 for 10. 
Persian Yellow. Austrian Rose. Perfectly hardy; flowers double and full, deep golden 
yellow in color; blooms very freely in June. Remove the weakly wood altogether, 
and shorten only a few inches the shoots left for flowering. If pruned close, it will not 
bloom, as the flowers are produced from the terminal shoots of the old wood. 
40 cts. each, $3.50 for 10, $25 per 100. 
Scotch Briar (Rosa spinosissima ). Of low growth and dense twiggy habit, the branches 
thick with thorns, foliage bright green, flowers white or blush to pink. 
35 cts. each, $3 for 10, $20 per 100. 
Sweet Briar (R. rubiginosa ). A charming shrub Rose of dense growth, fragrant foli¬ 
age, bright pink flowers in June, followed by large orange-red and scarlet fruits. Should 
be in every shrubbery border. 40 cts. each, $3.50 for 10, $30 per 100.

Native Busk Roses 
Will be found listed on pages 122 and 132. 
Rugosa Roses 
Rugosa Roses are exceedingly useful in rough situations, on banks, or 
in the general border in connection with other shrubs, where they add a 
richness of foliage, and their summer bloom, which is followed by the 
bright fruits or hips, gives an added attraction all through the fall. They 
are also desirable for hedges, their heavy, dark green foliage making a very 
effective mass, and they can be easily kept within bounds. 
Rosa rugosa. Japanese Roses. These form sturdy bushes, perfectly hardy in the most 
trying places, standing hot suns well and thriving in dry or sandy soils. 
R. rugosa, var. alba, white; rosea, pink; rubra, red. 
25 cts. each, $2 for 10, $15 per 100
