The great Tea Rugosa. Produces bushels of bloom in June 



•ROSA RUGOSA MAGNIFICA. Introduced by The 

 Cojiard b" Jones Co. The color is brilliant carmine 

 which in the buds is very deep. The flowers are 

 large, often 4 to s 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. 



Rugosa Roses and their hybrids seem just suited 

 for our North American climates, as they are so 

 toiiKh 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 

 quile free from insect pests or disease. Some bloom 

 all summer, others but once, but are followed in the 

 autuum 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. 



*F. J. GROOTENDORST. (New.) This is a Poly- 

 antha-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. 



•CONRAD F. MEYER. (The Great Tea Rugosa.) 

 Splendid, large, elegantly formed buds and flow- 

 ers, 2} 2 to 4 inches across and perfectly double. 

 Color is clear silvery rose; very attractive; in- 

 tensely fragrant; hardy and a very vigorous 

 grower. The foliage is not as leathery and shiny 

 as in other Rugosas. 



•RUGOSA RUBRA. Another from Japan. Flowers 

 beautiful, bright, rosy crimson and single, suc- 

 ceeded by large berries of rich, rosy red. 



•SIR THOMAS LIPTON (White Century). 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 and they come at intervals all summer.
