IRONCLAD RUGOSA ROSES 



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

 blooms intermittently until frost 



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 our $1 Rose Book. The plants are 

 hardy as oaks, and do well in. the most trying places — seashore, mountains, 

 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 hardiness and 

 freedom from insects and disease. The thorny nature of the plants helps to 

 make a hedge almost impenetrable. We offer only the choicest varieties.

 there is one which demands especial attention and admiration. I refer to the Tea Rugosa 

 Rose, Conrad F. Meyer. This wonderful Rose has been in my possession for five years; is 

 fully S feet high and about the same in circumference. We have cut several hundred per- 

 fectly formed buds and full-grown flowers of immense sire from the bush and about 100 

 blooms remain . . . — Yours truly, M. B. M.

 the lovely everblooming Rose, Clotilde Soupert, and the hardy 

 Rosa rugosa alba. 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 and has the delightful fragrance of the wild Rose 

 or sweetbriar. Price, i-yr., 35c, ppd.; 2-yr., 65c; Star size, $1 □.

"^Rosa rUSOSa. maunifica. 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 which is 

 so strong it scents the air around. It blooms unceasingly from late 

 May until November, and its beautiful red berries last well into the 

 winter. The flowers come in clusters, each one a perfect, fragrant 

 bouquet in itself. In June the blooms almost hide the foliage. 

 Makes a magnificent hedge. 2-yr., 75 cts.; Star size, $1.25 D.

 habit, ironclad constitution, producing a bush 5 or 6 feet high, 

 and as great in diameter. The original bush on our grounds was 

 usually in bloom from the third week in May until November.
