Shrub Roses include many classes and forms mostly 
of erect, bushy type, which are adapted to almost all 
purposes for which any deciduous flowering shrub 
may be used. They may be used to border drive¬ 
ways and property lines, or to face down a planting 
of larger material, for groups in a wide sweep of lawrn, 
or on a hillside. They are especially effective near 
stone walls or stonework of any kind. 
Rugosa Roses and Their Hybrids 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, 
healthiness, and ability to thrive under most adverse 
conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost 
anything except continued great heat and excessive 
moisture. 
Agnes. Copper-yellow buds and flowers turning to am¬ 
ber-yellow as they develop; the only Rugosa of a 
yellow color. The flowers are of good size for this 
type, sweetly scented, and produced freely in early 
summer. 
Amelie Gravereaux. Medium sized flowers of dark pur¬ 
plish red, double and very fragrant. A strong shrub, 
noted for its fine foliage. 
Belle Poitevine. (Bruant, 1895.) Very large, loosely 
formed flowers of bright magenta-pink, borne in 
large clusters continuously. Very vigorous and en¬ 
tirely hardy, with tough, wrinkled foliage. A giant, 
double flowering hedge Rose of wonderful decora¬ 
tive value. 
Blanc Double de Coubert. (Cochet-Cochet, 1892). 
Snowy white, double flowers produced freely through 
summer and fall, by a very strong plant with the 
foliage and habit of the type. The best double, pure 
white Rugosa; especially pretty in half-open bud. 
Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. (Muller, 1900). Very large, 
well built flowers of light silvery pink, profusely 
produced on strong stems from the enormous 
thorny canes fully 12 to 15 feet high. The hand¬ 
somest Rugosa. Hardy enough to withstand all 
but the severest winters without protection. A well 
grown plant is a miraculous sight when in full flow¬ 
er, but it must have plenty of room in which to 
grow and display its splendor to best advantage. 
Dr. Eckener. This new Rugosa Hybrid is a welcome 
addition to this very hardy type of Rose. It will be 
found particularly valuable to plant in the shrubbery 
border or as an individual specimen or a clump in 
the garden. It is strong, vigorous, and hardy in 
growth. Has good sized flowers of cupped form and 
entirely distinct in color, being a silken or luminous 
buff-pink with golden suffusion. 
Dr. Hugo Eckener. New. Large, fragrant, semi-double 
flowers tinted with orange and coppery rose. 
F. J. Grootendorst. (DeGoey, 1918). Small, fringed 
flowers of bright red, produced in large clusters 
freely throughout the whole growing season. The 
plant is vigorous, up to 6 feet or more, with large, 
coarse foliage of superb quality. Combines the flow¬ 
ers and everblooming habit of the Polyanthas with 
the Rugosa vigor. A most desirable shrub for speci¬ 
mens, or, kept about 4 feet high, it makes a fine 
everblooming hedge. 
Hansa. (Schaum, 1905). Double, reddish violet flow¬ 
ers of large size, freely produced by a strong, typic¬ 
ally Rugosa plant. Hardy and dependable. 
Max Graf. (Trailing Hybrid Rugosa). Makes an ex¬ 
cellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found 
most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose 
it is far superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. 
The foliage resembles Rosa Rugosa and is retained 
very late in the season. It is practically immune to 
insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. The 
single, bright pink flowers are large and have pret¬ 
tily crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or 
for trailing over a stone wall, it has no equal. 
Rugosa Alba. Large, clear, shining white flowers with 
yellow stamens; sweetly fragrant. Very vigorous, 
spiny growth, with shining bright green foliage. The 
white-flowered form of Rugosa. 
Rugosa Rubra. Large, single flowers of soft crepelike 
texture, fragrant. Color varies through shades of 
pink, magenta and rosy crimson. Blooms very early, 
continuing until autumn. Plants strong and erect. 
The bright red and orange fruits are very large and 
ornamental. 
Vanguard. New. Flowers large, double, orange-sal¬ 
mon, on strong stems. Vigorous and hardy. 
Austrian Briar Roses 
Harrison’s Yellow. Semi-double, bright yellow flowers, 
completely covering the bush early in the season. 
Very vigorous and hardy, with perfectly healthy 
foliage. The very best yellow Rose for cold climates, 
and a splendid shrub or hedge plant. 
Persian Yellow. Double, rather small, deep golden 
yellow flowers, produced along the canes.
