ROSA — Wild Roses or Rose Species 
The Wild Roses surely merit the attention of everyone. 
Their delicate fragrance and the fragile beauty of their 
flowers are among the most beautiful things in nature. The 
Rugosas are especially fine for bold masses, even on the 
seashore; many have attractive red “hips” in late summer 
and fall. 
Golden Rose of China 
This handsome, arching shrub, with spiny stems and delicate folli- 
age, blooms very early in May in long garlands of bright yellow, 
Rosa hugonis 
single flowers which are followed by red, translucent fruits. The 
best single yellow Rose for shrub use, especially in the background 
of the rock garden. Give it a warm, sunny exposure to induce it to 
flower early. The plant is perfectly hardy.
