RUGOSAS AND THEIR HYBRIDS 
R UGOSA ROSES are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability 
to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost 
■ anything. 
They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems growing from 5 to 15 feet, and by 
their tough, curiously wrinkled or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or 
shrubberies in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very severe. 
Pruning: Established shrub types should have oldest canes cut out to ground and 
new canes shortened to 4 feet. Plants trained as pillars should have only the oldest 
stems cut out annually. The Grootendorst varieties like severe pruning. 
Most of the following varieties of Rugosa Roses will grow from 4 to 5 feet tall, ex¬ 
cept where otherwise noted. 
All Rugosa Roses are 75 cts. each, $6.50 for 10 of any one variety, except where 
otherwise noted. Those priced at $1 each are $9 for 10 of any one variety
