Kugooa ~<0d8ed 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.

RosA MULTIFLORA for A Living Fence 
This wild Rose of Japan and Korea has been 
found to be wonderful as a tall, dense hedge. 
Nurserymen use it as understock on which Roses 
are grafted, but it is also most useful for bordering 
woodland areas or drives or for fence purposes. 
The small white flowers come in large trusses 
along stout arching canes, followed by red fruits per 100 
1-year transplanted seedlings: 
10 plants for $2.75 
25 plants for $5.50 
Regular grade, 15 to 18-in. plants, 
50 or more at the rate of $18.00 
(Both grades are strong, heavy plants 
and of course, you get a quicker 
effect and denser hedge with the 
larger extra-grade plants.) 
All Rosa multiflora plants are sent 
to you correctly pruned and cut 
back for successful transplanting.

fast-growing, impenetrable barrier, but it should 
be confined to places where it can be left to grow 
as it pleases—and this means primarily farms 
and large properties rather than smaller plots. 
It grows as tall as 8 feet and as broad as 6 feet; if 
pruned back, it does not bloom as much although 
it will thrive when pruned to any desired height 
and width. 
Plant 18 inches apart in a straight row for 
hedge or fence purposes. Therefore, use 25 
plants for a 40-foot hedge; 50 plants for 75 feet; 
100 plants for 150 feet, etc., etc. 
Prices of the two grades or sizes we offer: 
Extra grade, 18 to 24-m. plants, 2-year trans- 
planted seedlings: 
10 plants for $3.75 
25 plants for $8.00 
50 or more at the rate of $28.00 per 100
