ROSA - Wild Roses or Rose Species 
The Wild Roses surely merit the attention of everyone. Their deli¬ 
cate fragrance and the fragile beauty of their flowers are among the 
most beautiful things in nature. They vary widely in their habits, 
from erect, almost climbing plants, like Rosa setigera to flat, almost 
evergreen creepers like R. wichuraiana. The Rugosas are especially 
fine for bold masses, even on the seashore; many have attractive red 
“hips” in late summer and fall.

SPIRAEA - Spirea 
A vast and important family of extraordinarily beautiful shrubs. 
All have great charm of foliage and the profusion of flowers they 
produce is remarkable. The Spireas fall into two main groups: (1) 
medium and large sorts with white flowers, ranging from April to 
July; (2) dwarf sorts with red, pink, or white flowers in July and 
August. The spring flowers are borne all along the branches; the 
summer flowers in small heads at the ends of the branches. The 
spring-flowering sorts thrive in all soils; the summer-bloomers like 
lime.
