HUGONIS: “Golden Rose of China” 
Also called ‘‘Father Hugo’s Rose.’’ Blooms three weeks earlier than most other Roses. 
(See color picture on page opposite) 
An altogether different Rose, bearmg no resemblance to any American 
species or ‘‘wild’’ Rose, this Chmese native Is a notable contribution to 
American gardens. Every branch of the previous year’s growth is, in late 
April or early May, closely set on both sides to the very tip with exquisitely 
beautiful, single, clear yellow flowers, almost concealing the foliage. The 
flowers are really and truly yellow, not merely primrose or straw color. 
__ The long, arching sprays make Hugonis not only a beautiful shrub, to be planted, 
if one so prefers, with other shrubs, but when cut are charming as table decorations. 
The crepe-like blooms harmonize with snowy linen and silver. 
The Hugonis Rose makes a symmetrical bush about 6 feet wide and high when 
matured. The beautiful reddish maroon growths spring from the roots and are in 
themselves most attractive. In late fall the foliage turns to a pleasing purple. 
This “Golden Rose of China” Is ruggedly hardy everywhere in America. 
It needs neither protection nor pruning, save in the occasional cutting out of 
the older shoots. Each spring the previous year’s growth of graceful 
maroon wands will be Jaden with curving branches of golden loveliness. 
We are “headquarters”? for Hugonis, and have for ten years prominently 
presented in color and in description this notable Chinese beauty to the American 
public. We expect to grow fully fifty thousand plants of it this year.

You were right about Hugonis being hardy. :

Instead of China it must have originally been 
an inhabitant of northern Mongolia, for it 
stands the winters even better than Harison’s 
Yellow, and that is quite a test. As I write, 
it Is 27 below zero outside, and was down to 
32 below this morning when I went to work.—

Roses two-year, Star size. It might interest you 
to know that I have a plant of Hugonis that 
measures 9 feet in diameter. It is the hardiest 
Rose I know of, and is literally covered in 
May with hundreds of blossoms.—E. A. U
