ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, 
withtstanding almost anything. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny 
stems, andi by their tough, curiously wrinkled or Rugosa foliage. Particularly 
valuable for hedge or shrubberies 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 
eicotancorst type, yet their foliage does not appear to have much Rugosa 
in it. 
Planting Distance: Hedges—1' 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.

Sir Thomas Lipton Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
It is one of the earliest Roses to bloom, starting to open its semi- 
double, pure white blossoms in late May and continuing freely until late 
fall. The exceptionally fine fragrance alone qualifies it as a garden 
Rose. For hardiness, tolerance and usefulness, Sir Thomas Lipton has 
no eauals. Maximum height 4 to 5 feet. Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois

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 re- 
curving imbricated petals, center showing a lovely orange undertone. Flowers 
in panicles. Persistent 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, are fully double, hav- 
ing 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, mil- 
dew or other Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be 
successully 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 5 to 6 
feet or more if permitted. It is a decumbent, spreading mat-like plant, mak- 
ing 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 plant- 
ings. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
Rosa Hugonis 
Lipstick 
Lipstick Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
A “shrub” Rose which will reach a height of 5 to 6 feet. It blooms 
continuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This Euro- 
pean variety certainly is a most interesting addition. There are so 
few tall growing Roses; it will be most welcome. 
ROSA HUGONIS 
A splendid Rose for the shrubbery border with delicate yellow, single 
flowers produced on long, arching sprays early in May; after it has finished 
flowering it remains an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the 
season; perfectly hardy.

AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSE 
Harrison’s Yellow Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60
