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 abso¬ 
lutely 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. 
Pruning: Established shrub types should have oldest canes cut out to ground and new canes 
shortened to 4 feet. Plants trained as pillars should have only the oldest stems cut out annually. 
Large-growing, shrubby varieties, like Sarah Van Fleet, can be allowed to grow tall. The Grootendorst 
varieties like severe pruning. 
Most of the following varieties of Rugosa Roses will grow from 4 to 5 feet tall, except where other¬ 
wise noted. 
All Rugosa Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted.
