This might be added to the "References" tab; "The Origin of the Rugosa Hybrid, F. J. Grootendorst, - A letter in May, 1923, from a Holland nurseryman who has given the most careful and useful attention to compiling an accurate list of rose varieties, mentions the origin of this excellent and unusual Polyantha hybrid in the following words: 'I was among the jury that gave the first award to this rose. It was in the nursery of a very small fellow, and I remember that we gave it the highest award because we thought of the greatest possibilities of this rose in a rough climate. Some people have blamed us for it, but I am still proud of my share in it. You will find the name of the raiser (De Goey) in our coming list (Grootendorst is the introducer only), which list is now ready for the press."

1924 American Rose Annual, p. 186.

Lovely Hy.Rugosa. I Bought it as a bagged rose and it grew very vigorously after planting and was one of the very 1st roses to bloom. Pretty clusters of unique carnation like flowers on a healthy bush. Very fast repeat with over 25 buds in some clusters. Quite a show. Even in its first year I was impressed by how quickly it became established. No disease problems at all thus far...and the bugs seem to avoid it. Only thing lacking in this rose is fragrance...but still a winner! Very hardy, shade and drought tolerant & recommended.
