Htardy Shrub Roses 
ROSA RUGOSA HYBRIDS 
Rugosa Roses are particularly valuable for hardiness, healthiness, and ability to 
thrive under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, withstanding almost any- 
thing. They are distinguished by erect, very spiny stems, and by their tough, curi- 
ously wrinkled or Rugosa foliage. Particularly valuable for hedge or shrubberies in 
seashore gardens and regions where the winters are very severe. Many are ever- 
bloomers. 
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 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 seashore and does re- 
markably 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 
a foliage from early June until frost; will stand below zero temperatures. Plants 
il 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 excep- 
tionally fine fragrance alone qualifies it as a garden Rose. For hardiness, toler- 
ance and usefulness, Sir Thomas Lipton has no equals. Maximum height 4 to 
5 feet. Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois Test Garden Bulletin of July, 1940. 
The New Shrub Rose, Fruehling’s Gold 
Fruchling’s Gold - Y ‘ 
ROSA SPINOSISSIMA (Scotch Rose) 
All Scotch Roses thrive on light soils where their suckering proclivities will 
be useful in forming weed suppressing colonies. The plants of Fruehling’s Gold 
develop into nice clumps from 3 to 5 feet high. The canes are covered for 18 
or more inches from the top down with lovely golden, cup-shaped flowers 
which are sweetly scented. It is a superb hardy Rose for the shrub border. Has 
withstood 10 degrees below zero in Mentor. Does not show any foliage troubles. 
All in all a lovely plant of recent introduction. 
Each $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00 
SHRUB ROSE 
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.
