THERE ARE SOME CHOICE ROSES ON THIS PAGE 
SHRUB ROSES RUGOSAS AND THEIR HYBRIDS 
R UGOSA roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthi¬ 
ness, and ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of 
• soil and climate, withstanding almost anything. 
They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, 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. Many are everbloomers.

does not mean that they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier 
than the Grootendorst types, yet their foliage does not appear to have
