RUGOSA ROSES and THEIR HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for their hardiness, healthiness, and ability 
to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost any- 
thing. They do not require spraying or dusting but actually resent it. Plant in just an 
average deeply-spaded garden soil; elaborate soil preparation is not advisable or 
necessary. 
They are distinguished by erect, spiny stems, and by their tough, curiously wrinkled 
or rugose foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or shrubberies in seashore gar- 
dens and regions where the winters are very severe. Some are remontant, as noted, 
meaning that intermittent blooms are produced after the June crop.

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 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 comparative percentage of Rugosa as compared 
with “the type,” but this refers only to the foliage.
