Kugosa Kosed AND THEIR HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for their hardiness and 
ability to thrive under adverse conditions of soil and climate. Plant 
in just an average, deeply spaded garden soil; elaborate soil prep- 
aration 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 
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 
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

ROSA MULTIFLORA '° AuvINC 
This wild Rose of Japan and Korea has been 
used as a tall, dense hedge. Nurserymen use it as 
understock on which Roses are grafted, but it is 
also useful for bordermg woodland areas or drives 
or for fence purposes. The small white flowers 
come in large trusses along stout arching canes, 
followed by red fruits relished by the birds. In 
its place this makes a fast-growing barrier, but it 
should be confined to places where it can be left 
to grow as it pleases—and this means primarily 
farms and Jarge 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 de- 
sired height and width. 
Plant 18 inches apart m 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.

Hliniature Roses

All our Miniature Roses are sent to you in 
3 or 4-inch pots. 
These charming little Roses, sometimes 
called “Miniatures,” seldom grow more than 
a foot high. Though small and dainty, 
they are comparatively hardy. They should 
never be planted right in among other 
everblooming Roses, although they do make 
nice edging plants for the small Rose garden. 
They are at home among the smaller rock- 
garden and alpine plants in a favored or 
sheltered location. They do not thrive as 
house plants but do well in a small green- 
house.
