RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS 



This valuable and interesting: jrroup is of Japanese oncin. 

 The plant- are vigorous growers, attaining a height of three 

 to four feet, have hand-ome foliage, and bear seed pods 

 which are very 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 

 acquisition- of great merit. They are all continuous bloom- 

 ers and particularly valuable for garden decoration. 



Agnes Emily Carman. Flowers in clusters; bril- 

 liant crimson, of the shade of Gen. Jacqueminot; 

 very free blooming, and continuing in bloom 

 nearly all summer; a rampant grower, hand- 

 some foliage, and very hardy.

 One of the best. 



Belle Poitevine, vig. Deep rose color; flowers 

 semi-double. 



Blanc Double de Coubert, vig. A variety with 

 double, pure white flowers, po-sessing a delight- 

 ful fragrance. A distinct and beautiful rose.
