RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS 



This valuable and interestintr group is of Japanese origin. 

 The plants are vigorous growers, attaining a height of three 

 to four feet, have handsome foliage, and bear seed pods 

 which are verj- ornamental. These desirable qualities, added 

 to exceptional hardiness, render this one of the most valua- 

 ble collections in the catalogue for general planting. The 

 flowers of both single and double varieties are beautiful and 

 freely produced, but cannot be used as cut flowers on account 

 of their thorns. The recently introduced doubles like Conrad 

 F. Meyer, Blanc Double de Coubert and Nova Zembla. are 

 acquisitions of great merit. They are all continuous bloom- 

 ers and particularly valuable for garden decoration.

 liant crimson, of the shade of Gen. Jacqueminot; 

 ven," free blooming, and continuing in bloom

 some foliage, and very hardy.
