Rosa Rugosa — Japanese Roses 
AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
These are excellent for planting in shrubberies, as they make large bushes, anil the 
brilliant scarlet 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, except to cut out any dead 
wood.
