ROSA RUGOSA 
Artistic shrub, or hedge Roses—hardy everywhere, 
even in the far north where other Roses are sometimes 
disappointing, requiring no winter protection. 
Large, bushy plants have a lavish covering of big, 
double, fragrant blossoms in June and July, with oc¬ 
casional blooms later on, the F. J. Grootendorst being 
especially everblooming. Abundant wrinkled, waxen 
foliage gives the plant a fine appearance at all times; 
bright seed pods following the blooms add still further 
to its beauty. Will do well in sun or partial shade. 
Excellent for hedges or borders, or to combine with 
flowering shrubs; an ideal Rose for cemetery planting.

How to Care for Roses 
All Roses flourish best when planted in good, rich, well drain' 
ed soil in a sunny location. Set them deeply and firmly, giving 
the tops a severe pruning. Then, each succeeding spring, the 
Hybrid Perpetuals and Hybrid Teas should be trimmed back 
quite heavily to encourage more blooms. Rugosa Roses will 
require little future trimming except to keep them to the size 
desired. Climbing Roses, when once established, should have 
no trimming whatever in early spring except to prune out 
any dead wood. Any extensive trimming to Climbers should 
be done immediately following the blooming period. 
The Climbing and Rambler Roses are all very hardy but re' 
quire winter protection in places of zero temperatures. Lay 
down the canes in late fall and cover with earth, evergreen 
boughs, or leaves, or wrap in burlap. The Hybrid Perpetuals 
and Hybrid Teas should have winter protection, especially in 
the North. Before the ground freezes in the fall, mound the 
earth 8 to 12 inches up around the plant, then cover the ex' 
posed tops of the Roses with leaves, straw or other mulching. 
You will have no trouble in wintering even the more tender 
varieties if treated in this manner.
