AUTUMN, 1925 - Roses FoR SHRUBBERY BorpER 
Rugged Rugosa Roses swat. 
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. Their 
dark, rich, leathery foliage is oddly wrinkled, and 
quite free from insect pests or disease. 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. 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, 
giving the clusters the appearance of bunches of 
carnations. This is the best 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.
