Shrub Roses, including Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
Individual prices as noted, less quantity discount on page 8 
UGOSA ROSES are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, 
and ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and cli- 
mate, withstanding almost anything. 
They are distinguished 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
