The Hardiest Everbloomers 
The Rugosa Rose Hybrids, or Eskimo Roses as they 
are often called because of their extreme hardiness, 
are the best for growing throughout the Northwest as 
they are not only perpetual bloomers, most attractive 
in bloom and foliage appearance, and highly fragrant 
but are thoroughly hardy throughout our upper midwest. 
They should be used freely in ornamental borders 
along with other shrubs. No winter protection is neces- 
sary. We offer below the outstanding varieties. 
Rugosa Hybrid Roses 
Strong 2 yr. No. 1 
AGNES — Large, fragrant, semi-double, 
yellow flowers tinted with orange and 
coppery rose. Very hardy and makes a 
6 ft. bush with blooms intermittently 
from June to September. 
BELLE POITEVINE — A _ beautifully 
formed, vigorous rose of attractive foli- 
age. A free and continuous bloomer of 
large, double bright pink flowers borne 
in clusters. 
GROOTENDORST-SUPREME — Bright 
crimson. A new variety of unusual merit 
commonly called “The Baby Rambler 
Rugosa Rose.” Because of its iron-clad 
hardiness it may be used in shrub bor- 
ders. With its continuous production of 
clusters of bright crimson bloom, it 
stands out strikingly from early summer 
Plants $1.50 each 
until frost. An improvement over the 
old F. J. Grootendorst. 
GROOTENDORST-PINK — Similar to 
the Red Grootendorst in form and man- 
ner of growth. The double, clustered 
flowers are a delicate shell pink. 
HANSA—Deep red. One of the hardiest, 
most dependable and most all around 
satisfactory of the red roses. The large, 
double red flowers have an attractive 
violet tinge, and are produced in great a- 
bundance from early summer to late fall. 
SIR THOMAS LIPTON — Snow white 
blooms, double and fragrant, and ar- 
ranged in clusters. In form it closely re- 
sembles the Hansa, and like that variety 
is excellent for hedges. Thrives in the 
coldest places. Especially pretty in half 
open bud.
