Rugosa Hybrids
Since the rugosa rose from Kamchatka and Northern Japan is the only absulutely hardy, ever-blooming rose that we have, it has been used considerably in recent years as a parent in the breeding of many new hybrids. These rugosa hybrids usually possess the foliage character of rugosa and partake of their hardiness, healthiness and general thriftiness of this parent but are not always so continuous in their blooming habit. Though these hybrids do not compare as cut flowers with the hybrid teas, they are far superior for general landscape planting about the home grounds. In Michigan, they are of special value by reason of their hardiness...
Nova Zembla, Hardy
This variety is considered to be a light colored form of Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and is equally fine and hardy. The flowers are of snowy whiteness sometimes slightly tinged with pink. It flowers freely on long stems and is very strong growing—twelve to fifteen feet long.
