Shrub Roses, including Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
Individual prices as noted, less quantity discount on page 22 
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
