*Rosa Hugonis 



"THE GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA" 



The aristocrat of hardy flowering hedge plants 



The Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass., con- 

 tains the greatest collection of woody flowering 

 plants in this country. The late Dr. E. H. 

 Wilson, its former Keeper, said: "As to the 

 Rosa Hugonis, it should be in every garden, for 

 it is the best of all hardy yellow-flowering Roses, 

 and one of the most lovely plants known." 



The extreme hardiness of this "Golden 

 Rose of China," its habit of blooming early in 

 May, sometimes when snow is on the ground, 

 and the long wands of fairy-like blossoms pro- 

 duced every year, all go to make Hugonis one 

 of the most valued shrub Roses obtainable. 

 When fully grown it is about 6 feet in height, 

 with graceful, arching branches that are com- 

 pletely covered with bloom to the very tips in 

 early May, followed by quantities of orna- 

 mental red fruits in July and August. 



This beautiful shrub Rose, with its dainty 

 foliage and graceful growth, makes a dis- 

 tinctive and almost impenetrable hedge on 

 account of its thick growth and spiny thorns. 

 Nothing more beautiful can be imagined than 

 a hedge of Rosa Hugonis in full bloom. It is 

 lovely and requires no support. Plan for a 

 hedge of this fairy-like Rose. Set the plants 

 \}/i to 2 feet apart. It is hardy in Alaska, 

 requires no attention, and blooms best uben 

 planted in urifertilized soil with, perhaps, some 

 coal-ashes or bonemeal added. If fed too richly, 

 Hugonis tsiOlX not bloom. 



Price, $1 each; 10 for $9; 25 for $20; 100 for $80. 

 Extra-selected size, $1.50 each; 6 for $7.50

Rosa Hugonis — in May a veritable 

 shower of gold 



STAR ROSES ARE 

 INCOMPARABLE 



Order No. 12989 AprU 28, 1930 



I cannot refrain from writing to you 

 to express my appreciation of the kind 

 of plants you sent. I ordered Rose 

 bushes from three companies, exclu- 

 sive of youx own, this spring, and the 

 plants received from all three showed 

 no comparison whatever with the 

 plants which came from your concern. 

 They are, without a doubt, the finest 

 Rose bushes I have ever received —
