Hybrid Sweetbriers 
Penzance Briers 
Developed from the common Sweetbrier or 
Eglantine, Rosa rubiginosa, they have de¬ 
liciously scented foliage and bear charming 
single or semi-double flowers along their 
arching canes. All of them are strong growers. 
As impenetrable screens or hedges, they are 
unbeatable, and as large specimen shrubs or 
trained as pillars they command attention. 
Planting distance: Give plenty of room— 
8 to 10 feet at the least. 
Pruning: Thin out old dead wood. 
Height: Varies from 10 to 15 feet.
