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, leathers- 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. 



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

 something entirely new in this class. It has the continuous blooming 

 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. This is the 

 greatest Rose we know for a perfectly hardy Rose-hedge. It makes a 

 sturdy, upright growth and grows from 4 to 5 feet high, depending upon 

 soil and location. In our fields this past season there was continuous 

 bloom on the plants in the nursery rows from June until November. 

 This is a leader in the Rugosa class. 



The great Tea Rugosa. Produces bushels of bloom in June and 

 blooms intermittently until frost

•CONRAD F. MEYER. (The Great Tea Rugosa.) Splendid, large, 

 elegantly formed buds and flowers, 3^ to 4 inches across and 

 perfectly double. Color is clear silvery rose; very attractive; 

 intensely fragrant; hardy and a very vigorous grower. The foliage 

 is not as leathery and shiny as in other Rugosas. 



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. 



*AL1CE ALDRICH. Lovely buds and its large, double flowers of 



clear bright pink are borne at intervals during the whole growing 



season. The plant is spreading in growth and is fine for edging 



shrubbery borders. 

 • MME. GEORGES BRUANT. Large, loosely double flowers of 



pure white and richly fragrant. A very decorative Rose. 

 MAX GRAF. New Trailing Rugosa. See page 11. 

 •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. 

 •RUGOSA ALBA. Came from Japan. Single, pure white flowers of 



five petals and highly scented, followed by pretty berries. The 



plants make a very strong growth and are fine where a high screen 



hedge is needed. 

 •RUGOSA RUBRA. Another from Japan. Flowers beautiful, bright 



rosy crimson and single, succeeded by large berries of rich rosy red, 



which last on the bushes until well into the winter. Noted for its 



delightful pungent fragrance. 



•SIR THOMAS UPTON. Early and constant in bloom, of most 

 vigorous habit, ironclad constitution, producing a bush 5 or 6 

 feet high, and as great in diameter. Flowers snow-white, deli- 

 riously fragrant, and they come at intervals all summer. (See cut.)

 Let me express a word of appreciation about the Roses I purchased from you last 

 year. They certainly turned out fine. Everyone that saw them admired them. — 

 Rev. C. F. W. B., Chicora, Pa. 



April 16, 1923. 

 Beg to acknowledge receipt of finest lot of Roses I ever received 

 from any source in my long experience in raising flowers as an amateur.
