New Hybrid Rugosa Rose 

 F. J. Grootendorst 



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 ^%riety. 

 It is not a Rose that you want to plant in with your 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 continues in bloom until late in the fall. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $75.00 per 100.

 Hybrid Sweetbrier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet Brier and various

each petal is yellow.

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, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $75.00 per 100.
