NEW RUGOSA HYBRID ROSE 

 F. J. Grootendorst 



This is a new type of Rose which might properly be called a Rugosa 

 Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson 

 Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-Hke Rugosa Rose covered with 

 trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will have a fair 

 conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a Rose that you 

 want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen or in a mass 

 in a bed in an exposed position or among shrubs in the shrubbery 

 border or use it for an everblooming hedge for which purpose it is 

 admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and continues in bloom 

 until late in the fall. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $75.00 per 100.

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 yellow 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.
