SHRUB ROSES, including Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
T pUGOSA 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

East Rutherford, N. J. 
Individual prices as noted, net; no discount 
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 comparative per- 
centage of Rugosa as compared with “the type,” but this refers 
3 to 4 feet.
