SHRUB ROSES 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, 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. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this 
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 much Rugosa in it. For your guidance we have given what 
in our opinion is the comparative percentage of Rugosa as com¬ 
pared with “the type,” but this refers only to the foliage. 
Those particularly good for hedges are marked with a ★.
