Rugosa Hybrid Roses (seatiz> ) , 
Besides being one of the most beautiful 
classes of Roses grown, this group has been 
rightly called “Eskimo Beauties” because of 
their extreme hardiness in the North. 
Many beautiful hybrids have been devel- 
oped by crossing the parent “Rosa Rugosa 
Rubra” with the various Tea, Hybrid Tea 
and Rambler Roses.

The Rugosas have a tough 
wood with thick, leathery, 
dark green foliage which, in 
most instances, is entirely free of insects 
or diseases. They are vigorous growers, 
growing from 3 to 5 feet high, depend- 
ing on the variety. All types of Rugosas 
are benefited by severe pruning at least 
every two years. They should never be 
allowed to become “leggy.” 
They may be used in the foundation 
planting, shrub border or as hedges. Our 
list comprises the very best varieties. 
AGNES. A new Rugosa. Double coppery-yel- 
low buds and flowers which become pale amber- 
gold upon opening. They are well shaped, 
sweetly fragrant, and freely produced in early 
summer. The growth is moderate. ; 
BELLE POITEVINE. Clusters of large, semi- 
double, open blooms of soft pink. The plants 
produce an abundance of foliage. Bloom mod- 
erately but continuously all summer,

CONRAD F. MEYER. A large, double rosy 
pink flower; fragrant and blooming nearly all 
summer. The foliage does not show so much 
of the Rugosa type. 
HANSA. Semi-double, crimson flowers turning 
to purplish red with age. The flowers come in 
clusters, bloom heavily in 
June and lighter through the 
summer. The best red Ru- 
gosa.

F. J. GROOTENDORST. 
Beautiful, small red flowers 
in clusters resembling a Car- 
nation. It blooms from June 
until frost. Typical foliage 
and habits of the Rugosa, ex- 
cept it is more compact and 
does not grow as high, usual- 
ly about 3 to 4 feet. It 
should be severely pruned 
back each spring. 
PREME. An improved F. J. 
Grootendorst Rose, with 
deeper crimson-red and long- 
er lasting flowers.

PINK GROOTENDORST. The 
habit of the plant and shape 
of bloom are the same as the 
parent F. J. Grootendorst, 
but the color is clear, shell- 
pink. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON. The 
best pure white Rugosa Rose. 
Strong and vigorous; grows 
4 feet high. Fragrant flow- 
ers, double, pure snow-white; 
borne continuously through- 
out the season.

SARAH VAN FLEET. Quantities of fragrant, 
cupped blooms of apple-blossom-pink with 
deeper pink inside. The buds are long and 
dainty, and the flowers are fairly large, semi- 
double, and come in clusters. They have en- 
chanting old-rose fragrance. 
MAX GRAF. An ideal trailing Rose for retain- 
ing embankments, covering them with hand- 
some, crinkled foliage that persists well into 
winter. Enchanting every spring, this lovely 
green ground-cover becomes decorated with 
large, single, apple-blossom-pink flowers. Plant 
2 to 3 feet apart. 

ROSA RUGOSA RUBRA (Red) 
This Rose originated in the Orient. It is very 
hardy, a vigorous grower and is not troubled by 
insects. Grows 3 to 4 feet high. It has thick, 
leathery, wrinkled leaves, and the pinkish red 
flowers in June and July are followed by scarlet 
fruits or haws, which are very colorful in the 
fall. It is mostly used in landscape work.
