HARDY "IRONCLAD" RUGOSA ROSES 



These Hardy Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids seem just suited for our North American climate as 

 they are so tough. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, four to six feet high and very orna- 

 mental. Their dark, rich leathery foliage is oddly wrinkled, shiny and remarkably free from insect pests. 

 Some bloom all Summer, others but once, but are followed in the Autumn with a profusion of beautiful 

 orange red or crimson fruits. The plants are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most trying places; sea- 

 shore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or planting on the lawn with shrubbery or 

 in isolated groups. Rugosa Roses on their "Own Roots" are scarce, hence higher in price, but we offer 

 only "Own Root" stock of these, because they give so much better satisfaction than "Budded Plants," 

 and really cost less in the long run. // you want something unique, appropriate and permanent, try some 

 of these on your lawn.
