THE PIONEER OF A NEW RACE OF HARDY ROSES 



A New Species 

 Unlike Any Other Rose 



• "HUGONIS 



" Recently Brought from China 



By Plant Explorer E. H. Wilson 



This Rose is a spectacular show in itself. 

 Every branch of the previous year's 

 growth becomes lined on all sides, to the 

 very tip, with closely set, wide-open, single 

 flowers like dainty yellow hollyhocks, and 

 the branches bend over with the weight 

 of bloom. 



Its hardiness is remarkable, for we have 

 never yet known even a tip of a single 

 branch to winterkill, and the same excel- 

 lent report comes from trials made in 

 Massachusetts and Wisconsin. 



In this locality Hugonis bloomed the 

 first week in May, 1918, two weeks 

 ahead of our otherwise earliest Roses. 



This unique species is fine for shrub 

 planting and makes a symmetrical bush 

 about 6 feet in height and the same in 

 diameter when fully matured. Picture 

 this exquisite bush on your lawn, or at 

 the corners of your house, in early spring. 

 Think of the pleasure of looking forward 

 daily from about the last week in April, 

 when the buds begin to form, till the 

 plant is a mass of fairy-like fluffy bloom 

 the first week in May. 



When through blooming you will still 

 have a most beautiful bush, for the acacia- 

 like foliage on arching branches makes a 

 most decorative shrub which, as far as 

 we are aware, is never touched by disease of 

 any kind but is clean and healthy always. 



Earn distinction by being the first 

 to introduce this unique Rose in your 

 neighborhood. 



ROSA HUGONIS— A GEM 



Editor Horticulture: 



I note yours as to Rosa Hugonis in current 

 issue. I have a strong-growing vigorous plant 

 sent me by our old friend, Jackson Dawson, 

 which is a thing of beauty at this present time. 

 It has been out three winters and passed 

 through the last unprotected and comes out un- 

 injured — as good a test of hardiness as could be 

 had. This is the third year of its blooming, 

 always pleasing and admired by all. I have 

 never seen any "bugs" or troublesome insects 

 on it; it is free from the ugly thorns of the 

 Scotch rose; each branch is a garland of most 

 beautiful yellow, elegantly garnished with small 

 deep-colored foliage. I hold it as a gem. Yours, 

 C. VV. Hoitt, Nashua, N. H., May 21, 1918. 



REPORT BY 

 Plant Explorer E. H. Wilson 



OF THE 



ARNOLD ARBORETUM 



Who Discovered This Rose 

 in China 



"It is an upright-growing shrub 

 with slender and spreading branches 

 on which the fragrant flowers are 

 borne in yard-long sprays of soft yel- 

 low. As I write in mid-November, 

 the foliage is still on the shrub and 

 has assumed a dark purple tint."
