ROSA RUGOSA (Red and White). 
[Extract from Henderson’s Handbook of Plants and General Horticulture.] 
‘‘Rosa Rugosa, a Japanese species, first sent to this country in 
1855, is one of the handsomest hardy shrubs in cultivation. It 
forms a sturdy 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 im diameter, of a bright rosy crim- 
son color and very fragrant. It continues to flower the whole 
summer, making a very attractive object. If it never produced a 
flower it would still be entitled to a prominent 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. It is now well known; both its rosy crimson and 
white varieties are found in all good collsctions ; and its large hand- 
some scarlet frwit is most showy during the autumn months.”
