IRONCLAD RUGOSA R S jE S 



Rugosa 'Roses in their original form are the only absolutely hardy "ever- 

 blooming" Roses. They are very spiny, growing vigorously from 4 to 10 feet 

 high. The foliage is curiously wrinkled. Being indestructibly hardy, they will 

 grow almost anywhere — even on barren wind-swept slopes and seashore sand. 

 They make beautiful specimens when planted alone or among shrubs, and the 

 large red seed-hips, or apples, which follow the flowers are very ornamental.
