Rosa setigera 
ROSA RUBRIFOLIA. (Europe.) Very striking 
because of its blue-green foliage, deeply tinted 
with purplish red. The single flowers are deep 
pink at first, fading lighter with age; scarlet 
fruit. 
R. RUBIGINOSA. (Europe.) The botanical 
type from which have arisen the Hybrid Sweet- 
briers. A desirable hardy shrub of compact 
habit, which not only blooms beautifully with 
its bright pink flowers in small clusters, but 
continuously exhales the Sweetbriar fragrance. 
R. SATURATA. (Central China.) Grows 8 feet 
high; dark red flowers, 2 inches in diameter; 
fruit coral-red. 
R. SETIGERA. The wild Rose of eastern America 
sometimes called the “Prairie Rose,” though 
it is native along the whole Atlantic seaboard 
from Ontario and Wisconsin to Texas and 
Florida. Its single deep rose flowers are borne 
profusely in clusters, and its foliage is distinct 
in hue. While the plant is naturally a bush of 
5 to 6 feet in height, it may readily climb to 
8 to 10 feet. An excellent shrub. 60 cts. each. 
R. SETIPODA. (Central China.) A tall, vigor¬ 
ous shrub with stout, arching stems covered 
thickly with spines, dark green foliage, and 
pink flowers about 2 inches in diameter in 15- 
to 20-flowered clusters. 
R. SOULIEANA. (Western China.) Upright, 
spreading shrub, growing to 12 feet in height; 
flowers white, 1^2 inches across, in clusters. 
R. SPINOSISSIMA. (Europe, Western Asia, and 
China.) A very variable Rose, broadly known 
as the Scotch Rose. The plants form symmet¬ 
rical low shrubs, clothed in vivid green during 
the whole growing season, and are covered very 
early in the bloom season with single flowers, 
usually white and sometimes light pink or 
yellowish. Particularly pleasing because of its 
low-growing habit and symmetrical form. 
R. SPINOSISSIMA ALTAICA. Identical with 
the above in habit of growth, but distinguished 
by unusually large white flowers, ranging often 
to 3 inches across. It is also known as the 
“Northern Cherokee Rose.” 
R. WICHURAIANA. (Japan.) The “Memorial 
Rose.” A very handsome trailing Rose 
bearing abundant white flowers, set in lovely 
glossy foliage. Particularly satisfactory for 
covering banks and rockeries. 60 cts. each. 
R. WILLMOTTI/E. (Western China.) A shrub 
5 to 10 feet high, with rose-purple flowers 1 
to 1)4 inches across. May and June. 
R. XANTHINA (R. Ecde). (Turkestan and 
Afghanistan.) Strong grower, with clear yel¬ 
low flowers. $1.50 each.
