ROSA blanda. 5 ft. An attractive shrub with single pink 
flowers, elongated fruit, and few prickles. It is good for 
covering barren slopes and like situations.

grower is best in masses and in shrub borders; it is not 
suitable for the Rose-garden. It has clear yellow, fra¬ 
grant, single flowers.

species on a bank and it will reward you with narrow 
bright green foliage, shiny pink flowers, and striking 
autumn coloring. 
R. rugosa. 4 to 5 ft. The handsome, large, pink flowers 
come from June to September. Rich green foliage and 
large red fruit make this plant desirable. It is good 
used as a border or in a hedge. We have some plants 
with white blooms and some with purple. 
R. setigera. Prairie Rose. 4 to 6 ft. This valuable plant 
has long, slender, prickly branches and deep rose flowers 
fading to white as they die. It is a graceful shrub and 
one which should be used more.

naturally and rapidly. It has good foliage, large clusters 
of tiny coral-red berries, and fragrant branches, leaves, 
and flowers.

other respects it is quite similar. The autumn tints are 
brilliant, surpassing even the color of the berries. 
R. cotinus. Purple Fringe; Smoke Tree. 10 to 12 ft. 
Feathery, purplish, smoke-like flowers give the tree a
