The Rugosa Roses. 
In ornamental shrubs there is nothing quite so desirable or which has so many good qualities as the Rugosa Roses. They 
should not be planted in the Rose garden but freely in the shrubbery, about the base of the house, in groups on the lawn, and for 
an untrimmed hedge they are unsurpassed. They grow from three to five feet high depending upon the soil, are of a bushy spread- 
ing habit and the foliage is luxuriant, rich and beautiful throughout the season and is never touched by insects or disease. The 
beautiful large single white or red flowers are freely produced and are followed by clusters of large bright red rose-apples which are 
most effective and last until hard freezing weather sets in. [he plants are absolutely hardy root, top and branch. 
Rosa Rugosa Alba, large single pure white flowers, 30 cts. each, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100. 
Rosa Rugosa Rubra, large single red flowers, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per dozen, $18.00 per 100. 
Rosa Rugosa Mixed Seedlings. A mixture of the single red and white varieties in which the red 
will probably predominate, 20 cts. each, $2.00 per dozen, $15.00 per 100. 
New Rugosa Rose ‘Blanche Double de Coubert.” The very desirable qualities of the Rugosa Roses has led the 
hybridizers to attempt the production of new varieties, and many Rugosa Hybrids have been offered, but with a single exception

The flowers 
are produced freely throughout the season. On our grounds it is the first rose in bloom in spring and the last in the fall. We 
have known for some years that this was a most valuable Rose, but the stock was so scarce that we daren’t say much about it. 
35 cts. each, $3.50 per dozen, $25.00 per 100. 
We have the largest, finest and most comprehensive stock of Hardy Plants in America, including three hundred varieties of the 
choicest Peonies, one hundred varieties of Japanese and European Tree Peonies, and also the largest collection of Japanese Iris in 
the world, and an unsurpassed collection of named Phloxes. Our illustrated catalogue, describing these and hundreds of other 
Hardy Plants, Trees, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Shrubs, will be sent on request. 
“A Plea for Hardy Plants,’’ by J. Wilkinson Elliott, contains much information about Hardy Gardens, with plans for 
their arrangement. We have made arrangements with the publishers of this book to furnish it to our customers at a very low 
price. Particulars on request.

they are like the play of Hamlet, with Hamlet left out. 
the desirable qualities of the Rugosa parent have been lost. 
Rugosa species in foliage, habit and vigor, but has semi-double pure white flowers which are most deliciously fragrant.
