Rosa Rugosa—Japanese Roses 
AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
These are excellent for planting in shrubberies, as they make large bushes, and the brilliant 
scarlet fruit pods produced after flowering are very handsome and attractive. These varieties are 
also much used in covert planting, game being very fond of the seed pods; they do not require 
pruning after the first spring of planting.
