Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
R UGOSA roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability to thrive under 
most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. 
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. The Grootendorst 
varieties like severe pruning. 
Most of the following varieties of Rugosa Roses will grow from 4 to 5 feet tall, except where otherwise 
noted. 
All Rugosa Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where otherwise noted. 
Those priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety
