For Semi-Shade or Full Sun 
Rugosa Rose, Pink Grootendorst (See page 96 

) 

These Roses deserve to be grown far more widely as they flower pro- 
fusely over an exceptionally long period of time. They are splendid 
for bedding on account of their compact growth, and they bloom con- 
tinuously and profusely throughout the spring, summer, and way late 
into the fall. All do particularly well in light shade.

This is one of the most popular of Roses for bedding or for planting in 
amongst perennial plants or low shrubs in front of the border. Unlike most 
Roses, it flowers freely in light shade. Several good sized blooms form a 
fine cluster of pink flowers enhanced by a shading of pure salmon. The 
plant is compact and spreading in habit and flowers profusely over an 
exceptionally long period of time. Because of its great usefulness, hardiness 
and beauty, it has become the most popular of bedding Roses. 
Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50

ly recurving, imbricated petals, center showing a lovely orange 
undertone. Flowers in panicles. Persistent grower and bloomer.

ing about two weeks later than Hybrid Tea Roses, but is never

exceedingly difficult. 
Use and Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 2 feet, spreading 
from 5 to 6 feet or more if permitted. It is a decumbent, spread- 
ing, matlike plant, making it pre-eminently fit for ground covering,

planting in solid beds or covering slopes. Single specimens are very 
effective in the flower border or low shrub plantings.
