 mixed Shrubbery Borders, or in separate beds or groupings or as individual 

 specimens in the garden. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids

Hansa. Attractive double reddish-violet. 



Red F. J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with

 or in a mass in a bed or in the shrubbery border or may be used as an ever- 

 blooming hedge. Hardy and continues in bloom until late in the fall.

New Hybrid -Rugosa Rose Dr. Eckener 



This new Rugosa Hybrid is a welcome addition in this very hardy type of 

 Rose. It will be found particularly valuable to plant in the shrubbery border 

 or as an individual specimen or clump in the garden. It is strong, vigorous and 

 hardy in growth, with good sized flowers of cupped form and entirely distinct 

 in color, being a silken or luminous buff pink with golden suffusion. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Trailing Hybrid -Rugosa Rose Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found most val- 

 uable as a ground cover for which purpose it is far superior to 

 any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa 

 Rugosa, is retained very late in the season, it is practically im- 

 mune to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. Its flowers 

 are large, single, bright pink with prettily crimped petals. For 

 planting on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone wall, it 

 has no equal. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $50.00 per 100.
