ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly veluable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability 
to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost 
anything. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, and by their tough, 
curiously wrinkled or Rugosa foliage. Particularly valuable for hedges or shrub- 
beries in seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very severe. Many 
are everbloomers. 
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 
type, yet their foliage does not appear to have much Rugosa in it. 
Planting Distance: Hedges—11/> to 2 feet. Shrubs—3 to 4 feet. 
Pruning: Shrub types—cut out old canes and shorten new canes to 4 feet. 
Height: 4 to 5 feet, except where noted.

PERPETUAL FLOWERING DOORYARD ROSE 
A ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
THE ROSE THAT NEVER FAILS! 
Color of Flowers: Peach-blossom-pink with silvery reflexed, sharply recurving 
imbricated petals, center showing a lovely orange undertone. Flowers in panicles. 
Presistent grower and bloomer. Flowering period starting in June, lasting until 
frost; starts blooming about two weeks later than Hybrid Tea Roses, but is never 
without flowers the entire summer and fall. Flowers excellent for cutting and 
decorative work, ore fuly double, having from 50 to 60 petals, and are delightfully 
fragrant, lasting a week or ten days in water when cut. 
Foliage: Bottle-green, rich and clean. Not troubled with black spot, mildew or 
other Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be successfully 
grown with little protection in the colder regions where growing Roses heretofore 
has not been possible or exceedingly difficult. 
Use and Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 2 feet, spreading from 5 to 6 feet 
or more if permitted. It is a decumbent, spreading matlike plant, making it pre- 
eminently fit for ground covering, hiding rocky and ugly spots, or as edging to 
Rose beds as well as planting in solid beds or covering slopes. Single specimens are 
very effective in the flower border or low shrub plantings.
