IRONCLAD RUGOSA ROSES 



For Minnesota, Wisconsin and All Cold Climates 



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, 6 to 9 feet high, according to variety, and are very ornamental. 

 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. See the illustration in color in "How To Grow Roses." The plants 

 are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most trying places — seashore, moun- 

 tains, or anywhere. On account of the shapeliness of their growth, these 

 Roses are especially valuable for use as lawn specimens. Being well branched 

 and very symmetrical, they make splendid hedges, having in their favor hardi- 

 ness and freedom from insects and disease. See prices at foot of the page. 

 •AGNES EMILY CARMAN. The most brilliant red Rugosa we know, 

 with flowers as bright as General Jacqueminot. They come in clusters, 

 making a perfect bouquet in themselves. 

 ALICE ALDRICH. We consider this a remarkably fine bush Rose for 

 shrubbery planting. It has lovely buds and its large, double flowers of 

 clear, bright pink are borne at intervals during the whole growing season.

 *NEW CENTURY. The flowers are 3 to 4 inches across, perfectly full and 

 double. The color is clear flesh-pink with light red center, and having 

 all the petals widely bordered with fine creamy white; it is very sweet- 

 scented. Also in i-yr. size. J5 cts., postpaid.

The lovely Conrad F. Meyer Rose which I purchased from you three years ago is the 

 envy and admiration of the entire neighborhood. Several of my friends wish to pur- 

 chase from you this fall. 



The Conrad F. Meyer is about 6 feet high and about 8 feet in circumference. We 

 counted 200 buds on it at the beginning of the blooming-time. Last year it bloomed at 

 three distinct intervals. — Mrs. C. W. F., Long Island. Maine. July 5. 1922. 



•F. J. GROOTENDORST. (New.) This is a Polyantha-Rugosa and 

 something entirely new in this class. It has the continuous bloom- 

 ing qualities of the Polyanthas, combined with the rugged, hardy- 

 growth and shiny, leathery foliage of the Rugosas. The blooms 

 come in clusters, each rich red flower having the petals evenly 

 notched, making the clusters have the appearance of bunches of 

 carnations. If you want a hardy red Rose hedge, that grows about 

 4 to 5 feet high, we strongly recommend this Rose for this purpose 

 and the price this year is one-half of what it was for 1922. Price, 

 $1 each, 10 for $9, 100 for $80 Q

 Co. The color is brilliant carmine which in the buds is very deep.

 breaks, screens, etc.
