Tlie wild growth spreads out and downward, shades tlie ground and grows very little after 
the first year, but supplies the roots with the necessary amount of carbon dioxide. You 
may have one bush out of a large number that the wild will show more growth than 
the hybrid-tea. In this case you may thin some of the wild out. If you do not care 
to have this wild growth spread on the ground, you may cut it part way back, or you can 
cut it all off and the hybrid-tea bush will be much superior to ordinary bushes, but it 
is best to allow about one-half as much to grow the first year, as you have growth on 
the hybrid-tea top. On some of the bushes the wild may die out but you will find they 
still will be far superior to regular bushes. 
When pruning these Super Rose Bushes do not cut the hybrid-tea branches back quite as 
heavy as you do your regular bushes. If there is less than one-half as much wild 
growth as hybrid-tea, leave the wild unpruned. But if there is more thin some out. 
Try to visit our nursery and see how wonderfully these bushes grow and bloom.
