Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability to thrive 
under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. 
The original species, which produces large single flowers throughout the season, is the 
only absolutely hardy everblooming Rose in existence. The hybrids are usually almost 
as hardy. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems growing from 5 to 15 feet, 
and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges 
or shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very severe. 
All Rugosa Roses are $1 each, $9 for 10 , except where otherwise noted.

Lyon, France have been induced to blend their marvelous yellow color with the more
