New Hybrid Rugosa Rose 

 F.J. Groo tenders t 



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-like 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 yqjir 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 con- 

 tinues in bloom until late in the fall.

 lustre, the base of each petal is yellow.

Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Presumed to be a cross Ijctween Rosa Rugosa and Setigera, with 

 large attractive single bright pink flowers not unlike the pink form 

 of Rugosa, but with the petals more crimped which adds to its 

 attractiveness. It makes an excellent climber or pillar rose, but 

 it appeals to us more particularly as a ground cover, for which 

 purpose it is superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The: 

 foliage resembling Rosa Rugosa, is retained very late in the season 

 and is practically immune to mildew, black spot and insects, and 

 is perfectly hardy. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing, 

 over a stone wall it has no equal. 



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.
