ROSA RUGOSA (WHITE).
A Japanese species, first sent to this country in 1855, is one of the handsomest hardy shrubs in cultivation. It forms a sturdy bush 4 to 5 feet high, covered with large, dark green, pinnate, glossy foliage, and producing terminal clusters of ten to twenty flowers, three inches in diameter, and very fragrant. It continues to flower the whole summer, making a very attractive object. If it never produced a flower it would still be entitled to a prominent place on the lawn for the beauty of its foliage, which scarcely resembles that of the Rose, but is very heavy, rich and shining, remaining on until late in autumn. Its large handsome, scarlet fruit is most showy during the autumn months.
