A Beautiful, Hardy, Howering Hedge 



When planting a hedge, why not plant perfectly hardy Rugosa Roses r 

 They grow strong and are fine for this purpose. Conrad F. Meyer and 

 Sir Thomas Lipton are two of the best. Plant 18 inches apart so 

 as to make your hedge dense. 



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, 4 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 only in June, but the 

 blooms are followed in the autumn with a profusion of beautiful orange- red or 

 crimson seed hips or fruits. The plants are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most 

 trying places — seashore, mountains, or anywhere. On account of the shapeli- 

 ness of their growth, these Roses are especially valuable for use as lawn speci- 

 mens. Being well branched and very symmetrical, they make splendid hedges, 

 having in their favor hardiness and freedom from insects and disease. The 

 thorny nature of the plants helps to make a hedge almost impenetrable. 



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

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

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

 very sweet and beautiful. 



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

 formed buds and flowers, 3>^ to 4 inches across and perfectly double.

 very vigorous grower. Makes a grand hedge with masses of Roses in June 

 and occasional blooms throughout the growing season.
