Shr ub Roses 
NEW SHRUB ROSES 
Lipstick Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
A “shrub” Rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 feet. It blooms 
continuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This European

growing Roses; it will be most welcome. (Color illustration, page 57.)

throughout the entire season. Makes a magnificent display with its 
large clusters composed of medium-sized brilliant red blooms. Of sturdy,

new race.

for the semi-double flowers which are produced in masses. Ultimate 
height about 5 feet.

ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, with- 
standing 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 
tevere. 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. 
Those particularly good for hedges are marked with an *.

The varieties listed below are unquestionably the best that can be selected
