IRONCLAD RUGOSA ROSES 



Rosa rugosa magnifica. 



Introduced by The 

 Conard & Jones Co. 

 The color is brilliant carmine which, in the buds, is very 

 deep. The flowers are large, often 4 to 5 inches across 

 and are noted for their intense, pungent fragrance which 

 is so strong it scents the air around. A specimen plant, 

 fully grown, has bloomed unceasingly from late May 

 until November. This plant is on a northeast corner, 

 and shaded from the hot afternoon sun. Magnifica is a 

 grand addition to this class. Price, i-yr., 25 cts., post- 

 paid; 2-yr., 50 cts., by express. 



brids seem just suited for our North American climates, as they are so 

 tough and hardy. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, 4 to 

 6 feet high and very ornamental. Their dark, rich, leathery foliage 

 is oddlv 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 — 

 seashore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or 

 planting on the lawn with shrubbery.
