Shrub Roses, including Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
All Rugosa Roses are 75 cts. each, except where otherwise noted, less quantity discount as shown below 
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 ever- 
bloomers. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, 
but this does not mean that they are not as hardy. Nothing

HON. LADY LINDSAY. (Niels J. Hansen, 
1938.) An almost everblooming shrub or pillar 
Rose growing 5 to 6 feet high. The stylish, 
tapering buds are yellow with golden pink 
predominating as they age and open. 30 to 40

Climber Dr. W. Van Fleet and the well-known 
everblooming bush Rose Rev. F. Page-Roberts; 
its vigorous, healthy plant habits and beautiful 
foliage are inherited from the former and re- 
peat bloom habits from the latter. Planted
