The Procumbent Rugosa. This bears leaflets precisely like the mother plant, Rosa rugosa, thick, leathery, glossy and wrinkled. The flowers are the same in size and color and the plant blooms without a rest during the entire summer. The habit of this hybrid is to trail upon the ground, forming an oval plant varying according to age. Three-year-old plants should measure not less than six feet in diameter and from two to three feet in height. For rock-work or as single specimens upon the lawn, they will take the place of many other plants popularly used for such purposes.
