Rugosa Roses and their hybrids seem just suited 

 for our North American climates, as they are so 

 tough and hardy. They make dense, sturdy, compact 

 bushes, 4 to 9 feet high, according to variety. Their 

 dark, rich, leathery foliage is oddly wrinkled, and 

 quite free from insect pests or disease. 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. On account of the 

 shapeliness of their growth, they are especially valuable 

 for use as lawn specimens. Being well branched and 

 very symmetrical, they make splendid hedges.

 ness, habit of growth, and continuous bloom, 

 this Rose is one of the best for hedges. It grows
