*Rosa Hugonis 



"THE GOLDEN ROSE OF CHINA" 



The aristocrat of hardy flowering hedge plants 



The Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass., contains 

 the greatest collection of woody flowering plants in 

 this country. The late Dr. E. H. Wilson, its former 

 Keeper, said: "As to the Rosa Hugonis, it should be 

 in every garden, for it is the best of all hardy yellow- 

 flowering Roses, and one of the most lovely plants 

 known." 



The extreme hardiness of this "Golden Rose of 

 China," its habit of blooming early in May, some- 

 times when snow is on the ground, and the long 

 wands of fairy-like blossoms produced every year, 

 all go to make Hugonis one of the most valued 

 shrub Roses obtainable. \\ hen fully grown it is 

 about 6 feet in height, with graceful, arching 

 branches that are completely covered with bloom 

 to the very tips in early May, followed b}^ quanti- 

 ties of ornamental red fruits in July and August. 



This beautiful shrub Rose, with its dainty 

 fohage and graceful growth, makes a distinctive 

 and almost impenetrable hedge on account of its 

 thick growth and spiny thorns. Plan for a flower- 

 ing hedge of Rosa Hugonis, placing the plants 

 13^ to 2 feet apart. It is hardy in Alaska, requires 

 no attention, and blooms best when planted in 

 unfertilized soil with, perhaps, some coal-asbes or 

 bonemeal added. If fed too richly, Hugonis may 

 not bloom. 



"Hugonis Hedge Is Lovely Beyond Description" 



Aly Rosa Hugonis hedge is lovely beyond description now. 

 I look with amazement at people who have the money to 

 spare who do not buy flowers, when we who have to econo- 

 mize so to get them can get such pleasure from the little we 

 are able to buy. — ^Mrs. J. D. B., Kingstree, S. C.

Shrub Roses for Specimen Lawn Plants and Borders 



Shrub Roses are oak-hardy and need little care. They may be used to provide splashes of color in the 

 landscape along paths and drives, or to brighten the shrubbery border. They have healthy foliage that is 

 ornamental and attractive, and shiny rose-hips to tone up summer and fall coloring. Plant hardy shrub 

 Roses to add interest and attractiveness to the lawn.
