e RUGOSA ROSES and THEIR HYBRIDS e 
SHRUB ROSES OTHER THAN RUGOSAS 
These very interesting Rose varieties—some new, some old—have long been special- 
ties with Bobbink & Atkins. Charming landscape effects are achieved with these Roses when 
they are planted in shrubbery borders or in small groups where Roses are desired instead of 
the more common flowering shrubs. Like the true Rugosas, they do not require special soil 
preparation, spraying, or coddling of any kind. They are practically as hardy and disease- 
resistant as the Rugosas but offer a wider color range and more variation in height. 
Many are everblooming or remontant, as noted, producing plenty of good blooms inter- 
mittently after the June crop. 
Space them about 3 to 4 feet apart; prune or cut out the old and worn-out canes after the 
third or fourth year but very little pruning is required the first two years. If occasional canes 
or stout branches get too tall, prune them to the desired heighi and width any time it suits you.
