ROSA — Roses for Shrub Use 
Many types of Roses lend themselves to use as flowering 
shrubs; in front of taller shrubs in the border, in foundation 
plantings, massed along paths and walks, etc. Roses used in 
this way will surpass in beauty the majority of the flowering 
shrubs because of their greater range of colors, the vividness 
of the colors and the longer season of bloom. 
The Rugosas are especially fine for bold masses, particu- 
larly at the seashore. For grouping in the garden, no plants 
will afford as much pleasure as the Floribunda Roses. (See 
page 38-39 for complete list. 
Rosa hugonis Golden Rose of China 
This handsome, arching shrub, with spiny stems and delicate foli- 
age, blooms very early in May in long garlands of bright yellow, 
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.
