How do you cover a bank or a slope with roses?

Roses have been used as ground covers for years as it is the natural way most roses grow. You can use the landscape roses which will throw out long 5 foot canes in all directions or if you have a very large area ,you can use a rambler rose and it will grow happily along the ground.
