''Sturdy as Oak'' Rugosas 



This class of new and rare Roses can be used in 

 so many places that they are almost indispensable. 

 They make sturdy, compact bushes, four to six feet 

 high, which are very ornamental, owing to their 

 dark, shiny, rich green, wrinkled, leathery foliage. 

 Free from insects and disease, thrive under almost 

 any condition and hardy as an oak. Excellent for 

 hedges or cemetery planting.
