Shrub Roses, Rugosas , and Their Hybrids 
R UGOSA ROSES are particularly valuable for hardi¬ 
ness, 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 compara¬ 
tive percentage of Rugosa as compared with “the type,” 
but this refers only to the foliage. 
Planting Distance: Hedges—13^2 to 2 feet. Shrubs—- 
3 to 4 feet. 
Pruning: Shrub types—cut out old canes and shorten 
new canes to 4 feet. Pillars—cut out only oldest canes. 
Heights: 4 to 5 feet, except where noted.
