SHRUB ROSES 
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 con- 
tinuously during the summer, forming large clusters of semi-double 
flowers. The color is a clear cerise with salmon shadings. This European 
variety certainly is a most interesting addition. There are so few tall 
growing Roses; it will be most welcome. 
ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and 
ability to thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, with- 
standing almost anything. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, 
and by their tough, curiously wrinkled or Rugosa foliage. Particularly valu- 
able for hedges 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 they are not as hardy. Nothing could be hardier than the Groot- 
endorst 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. 
Frau Dagmar Hartopp Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
This is a fine new low growing Rugosa Rose, excellent for foreground 
planting or ground covering. Like all Rugosa Roses it loves the sea- 
shore and does remarkably well on the poor sandy soils which are 
usually found in such localities. The foliage is rich green and heavily 
crinkled, no black spot or similar troubles. The silvery pink flowers are 
studded all over the plants and rise just above the foliage from early 
June until frost; will stand below zero temperatures. Plants are rugged 
and hardy. An excellent European variety of recent introduction you 
will want for those difficult places not to mention for those sections 
of the country where Hybrid Tea Roses do not survive. Average height 
about 12 to 18 inches. 
Grootendorst Each $1.75, Three $4.65, Doz. $18.60 
An improved variety having large, fringed, cherry-red flowers borne on 
a fine, large, well foliaged bush. Excellent as a hedge. 
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 equals. 
Maximum height 4 to 5 feet. Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois, Test 
Garden Bulletin of July, 1940. 
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.
