RUGOSA VARIETY.

America. It differs from the Asian form widely : the flowers are large, open, and of a lovely crimson- 
lake, whilst the fruit, equally ornamental, is longer and more ovate, and often covered with long 
spines ; attractive. Dwarfs, 2s.

elegance being increased by the sprays of tender foliage that pass up between them ; graceful in growth 
and habit ; a gem.

them, and gives the whole flower and plant a delightful effect ; very free flowering, with a delicious 
perfume from foliage and flower ; a wonderful grower ; shoots pendulant.
