majestic patriarch,but readily sheared to hedge or modest specimen sizes.

ROSA MULTIFLORA “FENCE” 
No repairs, no maintenance 
problems, it just grows. No ani- 
mals can get through, yet birds 
and small game can use it for 
refuge. It does not get out of 
hand, kept 5 feet high, width 8 
feet. (Not for small gardens.) 
Plant a single row, 1 foot apart. 
Cut back roots to 8 inches, tops 
to 3 or 4 inches on planting. 
Mulching is very beneficial— 
leaves, hay, sawdust, or whatever 
you have. Effective in three or four 
years, mature in seven.
