e 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 anything. 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 gardens and 
regions where the winters are very severe. Some are remontant, as noted, meaning that in- 
termittent 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. 
PLANTING DISTANCES: 3 to 4 feet apart. 
PRUNING: Shrub types—cut out old canes and shorten new canes to 4 feet. Pillars—cut 
out only oldest canes. 
HEIGHT: 4 to 5 feet, except where 
noted.
