Rosa Hugonis 



This species, recently introduced from China, is unlike any other Rose. 

 It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms symmetrical bushes 

 about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, and while not suited to plant in 

 the Rose border, it is an invaluable subject when planted in connection with 

 other shrubs or as single specimens in the garden. 



Its delicate j'ellow single flowers are produced on long arching sprays early 

 in May, every branch of the previous season's growth becomes lined on both 

 sides to the very tips with these attractive flowers, and after it has finished 

 flowering it remains an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the season; 

 perfectly hardy. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each.
