ROSA RUGOSA. 
There is Scarcely a more valuable hardy Shrub or plant for mass planting in groups and 
borders than the hardy Rosa Rugosa. Although a native of Japan this species is now in general 
use for fine ornamental planting both in this country and in Europe. The plants are perfectly hardy, 
of vigorous growth and easily grown. Single and semi-double flowers in profusion in June and 
occasionally during the summer and autumn. Beautiful, dark, pinnate, rich green foliage. The 
plants should be closely pruned when planted and kept in dwarf, compact, bush form by frequent 
pruning afterwards. $3 to $5 per dozen; $10 to $20 per 100. 
Very Strong, fine plants of the Alba and Rubra, the white and red flowering varieties, are 
supplied at special prices per 1,000. Quotation on application.

border lines of Standard Roses make them very 
desirable. The leading Hybrid Perpetual variet¬ 
ies can be successfully grown in the open ground, 
some protection or slight covering in winter be¬ 
ing desirable. The plants require rich soil and 
moisture. A border along the line of a garden 
walk or fruit garden is always an attractive ob¬ 
ject when the plants are in bloom. Special im¬ 
portations of these Standard Roses are made every
