Rugosa Roses and their hybrids seem just suited for our North American climates, as they are so 
tough and hardy. They make dense, sturdy, compact bushes, 4 to 
6 feet high and very ornamental. Their dark, rich, leathery foliage 
is oddly wrinkled, shiny and remarkably free from insect pests. 
Some bloom all summer, others but once, but are followed in the 
autumn with a profusion of beautiful orange-red or crimson fruits, 
d he plants are hardy as oaks, and do well in the most trying places— 
seashore, mountains or anywhere. Excellent for making hedges or 
planting on the lawn with shrubbery.
