EVERYONE MAY HAVE ROSES 
WITH THESE 
New Hardy Rugosa Hybrids 
RC UR new hardy Hybrid Rugosa Roses mark one of the triumphs of plant 
scientists. Choice dependable Roses are now ready for the door-yards of 
the most northern homes. Several, too, are most unusual in that they 
thrive equally well in Texas and Arizona as in Maine and Manitoba. 
These newcomers are rich in color, fine in quality, sweet in fragrance, 
beautiful in their lustrous foliage. With proper attention they will 
bloom from June until freezing time. 

Tue story of their development is a romance in plant life. Crowding the snow line, high up 
on the sides of the mountains of Japan, grow the Rugosa Roses, the most beautiful of all the 
wild types. These Rugosas have rugged constitutions. They possess deep glossy green foliage. 
They are covered from June to September with large single flowers of pink, white or red. The 
high qualities of this rose caught the attention of the rose breeders. If the rugged, thrifty and 
everblooming qualities of this plant could be interbred and eliminate the delicate constitutions 
of the well-known types, and yet retain the color and size of the latter, what an advance would 
be made! 
Txousanps of seedlings were produced and a few were chosen as outstanding. These may be 
separated into two groups. The first, aptly named the “‘Eskimo Beauties,’ show a high per- 
centage of Rugosa blood. Their foliage is heavy and shines with a deep green lustre. The flow- 
ers are double, or nearly so, and all are exceedingly fragrant. The three best of the Eskimo 
Beauties are Hansa, violet-red; Belle Poitevine, pink; and Blanc de Coubert, white. 
Tue Roses of the second group display more the appearance of the old garden favorites. 
They are indeed wonderful door-yard Roses with choice double blooms, comparing favorably 
with the best. There may be extreme locations in the far north where light covering may be 
best for winter, but in most locations from the Gulf to the lakes they may be enjoyed without 
pampering or petting. In this group are F. J. Grootendorst, red; Conrad F. Meyer, pink; Sir 
Thomas Lipton, white. 
Turse new Hybrid Rugosa Roses are a distinct new group of Roses. They have taken their 
places as true aristocrats in the best flower gardens of every state of the Union and in Canada.
