Species roses are for the most part very hardy, and their bloom crops are followed 
by crops of fruit, mostly brightly colored; the most common colors are red, orange and 
yellow, although some produce fruits of black and brown. The fruits or hips are usually 
produced in great profusion and remain on the bushes for months, adding a bright note 
to the winter garden. 
Most species roses become too large to be used in the small garden, but are used in 
woodland corners of the large garden, while those of more discreet growth make beautiful 
pillars, fountains and specimen plants in smaller gardens.

with it. You can see what a good thing it is, and in addition it is entirely hardy. In 
the garden it makes a compact round bush seldom over 5 feet tall and even the bugs
