Rose 
HE Wild Roses of the world, collected from all 
the continents, some of them mentioned in 
fable and ancient history, the Species group 
covers all types and sizes. Dwarf types, trailers, 
rampant shrubs and climbers—dainty single flowers 
In sprays of exquisite beauty, semi-double and 
double. While most flower only once, some will re- 

mpecies 
peat throughout the summer, and many of them are 
notable in fall for their decorative fruits of scarlet, 
pink, yellow, and black. 
Pruning: This may present quite a problem to the 
amateur, but nothing need be done to them beyond 
cutting out dead wood and enough surplus growth 
to keep the plants shapely if desired.
