Using Roses As Shrubs 
(Continued from page 102) 
mixing the wild roses of China with 
those of Japan and America. There are 
in sight hybrids of Rosa Moyesi and 
Rosa Soulieana which within a few 
years will give the landscape men forms 
of new beauty in flower, foliage and 
habit with which to develop the rose 
into its shrubbery place. 
In my Breeze Hill garden I have 
found it possible to take certain climb¬ 
ing roses, and with just a little annual 
trouble, amounting to perhaps three 
hours per plant per year, have secured 
attractive shrub forms that are good to 
look at the year around, and sure to 
draw visitors by their unusual beauty 
when in full flower. Several substantial 
stakes of cypress or iron are set about 
the rose, flaring out at the top, and the 
growing canes are tied to and over these 
supports. Each spring the side-shoots 
are pruned to about six inches in length, 
and each season new shoots from the 
roots are selected for renewal of the 
main canes. This is the same training 
method as recommended for the Cathay- 
ensis rose mentioned in an earlier para¬ 
graph. This is a shrub use of roses 
which is relatively artificial, I know. 
but it is none the less practicable and 
desirable. 
The training of roses to a four-foot 
stake, and the annual clipping in of 
their superabundant vitality so that 
there shall result little pillars of bloom, 
is not difficult and is altogether worth 
while, providing another shrub use sim¬ 
ilar to that described above. 
The American Rose Society is anxious 
to develop roses for every purpose in 
America, but it is most anxious, I think, 
to have roses pervade the landscape and 
the garden. What a desirable consum¬ 
mation it would be if there were less 
Hydrangea paniculata grandifiora and 
more of the hardy rose forms I have 
described in our gardens! How much 
more of pleasure there would be in 
going about our cities if one might see 
occasionally a great rugosa hybrid 
trained up toward the second-story 
window or over a suitable trellis! What 
a distinct note will be given to these 
gardens when we can see Hugonis oc¬ 
casionally instead of deutzia every¬ 
where I 
Let us have roses as shrubs in Amer¬ 
ica. They are worth while. 
Rosa Hugonis is the wonderful Chinese native sort which in the 
United States is covered in May with clear yellow flowers
