ROS A EU GOs A. the Ramanas Rose of queen! 
The lovely Ramanas or Rugosa Roses receive in their native country—Japan—the highest favor. From them was 
made a favorite perfume of the court ladies. They form sturdy bushes 3 to 5 feet in height, covered with handsome, 
glossy green foliage, surmounted with 
clusters of beautiful single flowers, which 
emit a delightful odor. They continue 
to bloom nearly the whole sum- 
mer, and are covered during autumn 
and winter with bright red seed pods 
(heps). In dry and sandy soils or rough 
situations they thrive and blossom and 
make beautiful what would otherwise 
be an annoyance. The double variety 
is by no means beautiful, and we there- 
fore do not list it.
