SHRUB ROSES, including Rugosas and Their Hybrids 
Individual prices as noted 
UGOSA ROSES are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, 
and ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and 
climate, withstanding almost anything. 
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 com- 
parative percentage of Rugosa as compared with “the type,” but this 
They are distinguished by erect, 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. Some are remontant. 
Some of the Hybrids do not have the true Rugosa foliage, but this does 
not mean that they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the 
AGNES. (Saunders, 1900.) Coppery yellow buds 
becoming pale amber-gold; sweetly fragrant.

AUTUMN BOUQUET. New. An ever-bloom- 
ing pink shrub Rose introduced by Bobbink & 
Atkins for the first time in Spring 1948 for M. 
R. Jacobus, hybridizer. It is seldom that a 
good husky shrub Rose, attaining a height of 
about 4 feet, produces successive crops of 
glorious blooms from June right on through 
October. The color of both bud and open 
bloom is a pronounced carmine-pink and borne 
singly on long stems as well as im clusters at 
certain times. Perhaps the color is not so un- 
usual but a shrub Rose of this type has many 
uses In a border of other flowering shrubs where 
you want a good Rose against a background of 
deciduous foliage. The habit of Autumn Bou- 
quet may be compared to our good strong- 
growing Hybrid Perpetuals which bloom only 
in June, however. One of the chief attributes 
of Autumn Bouquet is its very pleasing and 
pronounced fragrance at all times. AII the ex- 
perts who saw the rows of husky 3 to 4-foot 
plants in our nursery the past summers de- 
cided it was a novelty variety which holds 
great promise for the future. $2.00 each; 3 for 
$5.00
