ROSA RUGOSA (WHITE). 
A Japanese species, first sent to this country in 1855, is one 
of the handsomest hardy shrubs in cultivation. It forms asturdy 
bush 4 to 5 feet high, covered with large, dark green, pinnate, 
glossy foliage, and producing terminal clusters of ten to twenty 
flowers, three inches in diameter, and very fragrant. It contin- 
ues to flower the whole summer, making a very attractive object. 
If it never produced a flower it would still be entitled to a prom- 
inent place on the lawn for the beauty of its foliage, which 
scarcely resembles that of the Rose, but is very heavy, rich and 
shining, remaining on until late in autumn. Its large handsome 
scarlet fruit is most showy during the autumn months.
